Most people are granted passage once they have presented their ID, only a few are bullied as they pass, but an older man wearing a Palestinian-style ‘partisan-scarf’ sets the soldiers off. <\/p>\n

They shout at him, and force him to his knees on the cold asphalt with his head against a wall. A girl walking by watches and is angrily forced to show her ID. She does so; visibly scared until the soldiers drop the play acting, and – smiling – tell her that they are just acting.<\/p>\n

A handful of activists from the Palestinian Peace Guards<\/em> have set up a checkpoint for University of Copenhagen (U of C) students on Islands Brygge, \u00bbto demonstrate how an Israeli checkpoint works, and how Palestinians are stopped and checked on their way to work or school,\u00ab they explain.<\/p>\n

\u00bbU of C should reconsider their cooperation\u00ab<\/h2>\n

The U of C indirectly supports Israel’s occupation of Palestine and their army\u2019s constant violation of Palestinian rights through its work with Tel Aviv University including its student exchange programs. This is at least according to spokesperson Ida Marie Rump, who studies Arabic at the University of Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

\u00bbTel Aviv is mixed up with the Israel Defence Forces, and have a long-standing tradition of involving itself in military work,\u00ab she says. <\/p>\n

\u00bbEveryone picks a side\u00ab<\/h2>\n

While we speak, the street theatre continues, and a lanky guy in a suit takes a couple of pictures with an antique-looking camera.<\/p>\n

\u00bbHe is definitely a Zionist, that one,\u00ab the activists mumble to one another, demonstrating – should we have forgotten – that the animosity between Israel and Palestine stretches a long way from home.<\/p>\n

For that very same reason, the University of Copenhagen would call down a storm upon itself, should it choose to boycott Israel.<\/p>\n

So is it not a bad idea to make politics out of the university’s involvement in this way? Should the university also boycott Chinese universities, because China suppresses the Uyghur and has annexed Tibet?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bbI don\u2019t know so much about China, but in principal, yes, though financial pressure makes more sense against Israel, who rely more on external funding. Aside from this, we have committed to this boycott because the Palestinians asked us to,\u00ab says Rump.<\/p>\n

Academic freedom<\/h2>\n

In an open letter to the University of Trondheim<\/a>, three Palestinian student organisations write about ethnic Arabs living in Israel, who are prevented from studying at the most prestigious faculties at the Israeli universities.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also about academic freedom, concludes Ida Marie Rump, who together with the other activists are continuing their demonstrations for the rest of the week, as a part of the so-called Pull Down The Wall<\/em> action week.<\/p>\n

Should the university also boycott Chinese universities, because China suppresses the Uyghur and has annexed Tibet?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00bbI don\u2019t know so much about China, but in principal, yes, though financial pressure makes more sense against Israel, who rely more on external funding. Aside from this, we have committed to this boycott because the Palestinians asked us to,\u00ab says Rump.<\/p>\n<h2>Academic freedom<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bdsmovement.net\/?q=node\/580\" target=\"_blank\">In an open letter to the University of Trondheim<\/a>, three Palestinian student organisations write about ethnic Arabs living in Israel, who are prevented from studying at the most prestigious faculties at the Israeli universities.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also about academic freedom, concludes Ida Marie Rump, who together with the other activists are continuing their demonstrations for the rest of the week, as a part of the so-called <em>Pull Down The Wall<\/em> action week.<\/p>\n<p>ser@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":44,"name":"Campus","slug":"campus","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":44,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1547,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11489,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/IMG_6957_copylille-1280x853.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24079"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24079\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39900,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24079\/revisions\/39900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
