The University of Cambridge\u2019s wealthiest constituent college, Trinity College Cambridge, has decided to divest from all arms companies.<\/p>\n

The Middle East Eye reported that three well-informed sources close to Trinity\u2019s student union informed that the college council, responsible for major financial and other decisions, voted to remove Trinity\u2019s investments from arms companies in early March.<\/p>\n

According to the sources, the college decided not to announce that it would divest from arms companies after an activist defaced a 1914 portrait of Lord Arthur Balfour – who authored the infamous Balfour Declaration – inside the college on 8 March.<\/p>\n

Trinity had \u00a361,735 ($78,089) invested in Israel\u2019s largest arms company, Elbit Systems, which produces 85 per cent of the drones and land-based equipment used by the Israeli army. The college also had millions of dollars invested in other companies arming, supporting and profiting from Israel\u2019s war on Gaza.<\/p>\n

This is an ASTOUNDING VICTORY!! We must NOT stop until ALL UNIVERSITIES DIVEST!!<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nFemale student at Trinity College: As some of you may know there have been efforts to encourage individual colleges to divest from arms companies and those that are specifically tied to arming Israel or Israeli arms companies themselves, including Elbit Systems. And today, the news became public that Trinity College has decided to divest entirely from arms.<\/p>\n

Students at Trinity College: Free free Palestine. Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
