Overland literary journal · The People's Inquiry shines a light on Palestine repression at Australian universities - Overland literary journalOur universities are employing police-state tactics to discipline and punish students and staff for their opposition to the Gaza genocide. The fact that this censorship is regularly couched in the language of “safety” and “well-being” — while Palestinians in Gaza lining up for starvation rations are being gunned down daily — adds a bitter layer of irony to this disturbing situation.
‘The idea that lecturers should be neutral is absurd. The university always says that we as scientists should make an impact on the world, right? Showing that Zionism is a racist and genocidal project, and standing up against that is legitimate in that view, right?’

Vox magazine · ‘The Executive Board has failed miserably in dealing with the protests.’ - Vox magazineSUMMER INTERVIEW - He is arguably the most well-known – and to some, notorious – pro-Palestine activist of Radboud University. And maybe even of the whole of the Netherlands. Social geographer Harry Pettit participates in demonstrations, with or without a keffiyeh scarf, supports actions of students in the tent camps and wants the university board to distance itself even more from Israel.
‘Het idee dat docenten neutraal moeten zijn slaat nergens op. De universiteit roept toch altijd dat we als wetenschappers impact moeten hebben op de wereld? Laten zien dat zionisme een racistisch en genocidaal project is en daartegen in actie komen, is dan toch legitiem?’

‘Kijk naar de student die 7 mei door een politiehond bruut gebeten werd. Het college van bestuur heeft gigantisch gefaald in de aanpak van de protesten.’

Vox magazine · ‘Het cvb heeft gigantisch gefaald in de aanpak van de protesten’ - Vox magazineZOMERINTERVIEW - Hij is misschien wel de meest bekende – en bij sommigen beruchte – pro-Palestina-activist van de Radboud Universiteit. En misschien zelfs van heel Nederland. Sociaal geograaf Harry Pettit loopt mee met demonstraties, al dan niet met keffiyeh sjaal, steunt acties van studenten in de tentenkampen en wil dat het college van bestuur nog veel meer afstand neemt van Israël.
