At King's College London, spearheaded by the KCL Action Palestine society, students have led a successful and visible campaign against the university's research collaboration with Ahava, the Israeli cosmetics company that operates in an illegal Israeli settlement in occupied Palestinian territory.
In response to calls from Palestinian organisations, students and academics from across the UK and beyond are preparing to launch similar campaigns against research collaboration with other Israeli companies and institutions that are at the heart of Israel's system of domination over the Palestinian people.
As students finalised preparations for Israeli Apartheid Week in February an evening of discussion was held with Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) activist Omar Barghouti and the activists at the heart of the King's College London campaign against Ahava.
Omar Barghouti is an independent Palestinian commentator and human rights activist. He is a member of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC). He holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in electrical engineering from Columbia University, and a Master's degree in philosophy (ethics) from Tel Aviv University.
Omar was joined by:
Professor Jonathan Rosenhead, Chair, British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (BRICUP),
Mehdi Beyati, King's College London student and KCL Action Palestine activist,
The meeting was chaired by Maha Rezeq, an independent Palestinian activist and journalist.
Meeting was supported by: British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (BRICUP), KCL Action Palestine, LSESU Palestine Society, UCL Friends of Palestine, University of London Union (ULU) and Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC).

do you realize that you are calling in a cultural and educational boycott? why would you do that? i feel like education and culture are 2 things that should never be boycotted...instead encouraged and increased.
