SGA: Endorse the UNCC Board of Trustees Divestment From Israel

We must acknowledge the genocide in Palestine and ensure that our university is held responsible for their support towards the horrific crimes committed by Israel.

I want to help the people of this world who are facing malicious acts towards them they don’t deserve, in any way I can.

my family is from palestine and i want them to be safe

The children are watching.and will end the oppression. It’s best that you stand on the right side of history and show some humanity. RISE UP! This is a genocide and breaks all rules of war! Isreal is an ongoing occupation that must end now! If not now when!?

October 7th was not an isolated incident; framing it this way, along with consistently refusing to present any context, is misleading and deceptive:
Gaza has been under siege since 2007, with everything coming in and out controlled entirely by Israel. Without provocation, Israel carried out bombings approximately once every two years
The Israeli army and illegal settler colonies occupy the West Bank
Israel is breaking more than 45 resolutions by the United Nations. Israel has been condemned by UNHRC more than the rest of the world combined. With the protection of the USA and the continuing use of the "Veto", it was never held accountable. For the record, the USA has vetoed UN Security Council resolutions on Israel a total of 46 times
Israel has been illegally occupying and controlling Palestinian lands for decades

We should not be financially complicit in genocide.

As a child of a university employee and Jewish resident from Charlotte, it’s important to me that Charlotte is a progressive and just institution. We need all institutions to divest from Israel and from war.

UNC, and all North Carolina public universities, need to divest from Israel and refuse to support our government's complicity in the genocide of Palestinians.

Anything for the palestinian cause deserves my attention

We're taught at an early age what the horrors of the Holocaust were, and that never again means never again no matter who. We all have to do our part in stopping genocide and terror where we see it no matter who is committing it.

The US government and the institution of UNCC has aided in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and the people Gaza. As such, it has made US citizens, UNCC students, and UNCC alumni complicit. We demand that UNCC acknowledge its hand in Israel’s ongoing genocide & immediately divest from Israel.

Although I culturally and ethnically I am jewish, the genocide of thousands is not a value I stand for. I don’t want to be a student at a university who does not also stand for this value, and by endorsing the divestment of funds from israel, it may not directly benefit palestinians, but it shows to others that uncc has the same opinion as I do.

F Genocide

This is unethical. The UNCC board should know better.

Free Palestine, Israel does not deserve to continue being funded to support their genocide of the Palestinian people.

Israel is committing genocide and I cannot support it

Israel is doing genocide.

Genocide is not the answer.

Because Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine is one of the worst genocides in human history and should not be tolerated by any government or any country anywhere.

We need to stop supporting israel’s genocidal actions

Israel should not exist and it absolutely should not be given money

The University must divest from any and all support of Israel.

My family has been fighting for Palestinian rights since the problems started in the 40s. With the uptick in violence these past six months, it’s time to take our money out of Israel and put it towards solving our own problems in America.

Free Palestine !!

No educational institution, especially ones that profess democratic and liberal ideals, should be complicit in genocide.

I think the occupation of gaza and oppression of the palestinian people shouldn’t be supported by anybody, especially an educational institution that is staunchly against it.

I don't want my place of education to support genocide.

UNCC should not supporting the genocide in Palestine by providing funding to Israel. They need to divest immediately.

My university should sever all ties with a regime indiscriminately killing innocent people and occupying indigenous peoples land

Palestinian lives are being taken unchallenged and unlawfully everyday and the support of american schools should not be funding these daily monstrosities.
