Get Action! “Massey University: Divest from Genocide” w/ Dinithi Bowatte: July 1, 2024

Amidst the global student protests campaigning against the involvement of Academic Institutions in Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, many universities in Aotearoa have organised similar protests, calling on their universities to disclose their investments and divest from the State of Israel.

Following a recent protest at Massey University in solidarity with Palestine, students found out that the University had invested more than $7,000 in Israeli government bonds within the past three months. 

For this week’s Get Action! Oto spoke to Dinithi Bowatte, a student at Massey and member of Students for Justice in Palestine, who organised a petition calling for the university to disclose its investments and to divest from the State of Israel.
