Rue de Tolbiac, in 13e district of Paris, Thursday December 19, just before the university holidays, the blockade did not let up. At the Pierre-Mendès- center, since November 5, around a hundred students mobilized against the war waged by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon have prevented access to tutorial rooms, disrupting the organization of classes.

Will the holiday break interrupt the movement? Nothing is less certain. If these students announce that they do not want to disrupt the midterms, scheduled for January 27, they will meet after this deadline for a resumption of the movement if their demands are not heard.

This Thursday, behind the gate, on a table, students placed leaflets. One of them calls on the presidency of Paris-I Panthéon-Sorbonne to “a total cessation of partnerships with colonial Israeli universities, notably the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, located in illegally occupied Palestinian territories, and Tel Aviv University, which plays an essential role in the creation of the Dahiya doctrine [qui théorise un usage disproportionné de la force pour affaiblir les ennemis de l’Etat hébreu] who supports the Palestinian genocide ». He also calls for“total cessation of partnerships with the arms companies Thales, Safran, Dassault and Airbus”.
