On May 6, 2024, pro-Palestinian protests broke out at the University of Amsterdam which quickly spread to other universities in the Randstad and the rest of the Netherlands. Although protests had been taking place as early as October 2024, which marks the start of the Hamas-Israel war, the protests intensified in May in the light of the Rafah offensive on May 6 and recent similar protests in the United States and elsewhere.

Background

Escalation of protests

Further information: Israel–Hamas war protests
These paragraphs are an excerpt from 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses.[edit]
Pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses escalated in April 2024, spreading in the United States and other countries, as part of wider Israel–Hamas war protests. The escalation began after mass arrests at the Columbia University campus occupation, led by anti-Zionist groups, in which protesters demanded the university's disinvestment from Israel over its alleged genocide of Palestinians.[1] In the U.S. over 2,950 protesters have been arrested,[2] including faculty members and professors,[3][4] on over 60 campuses.[2] On May 7, protests spread across Europe with mass arrests in the Netherlands.[5][6] By May 12, twenty encampments had been established in the United Kingdom, and across universities in Australia and Canada.[7][8] Some protesters have referred to the movement as the "student intifada".[a][12]

List of protests

These paragraphs are an excerpt from List of pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in 2024.[edit]

This is a list of pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in 2024 since protests escalated on April 17, beginning with the Columbia University campus occupation. As of May 6, student protests have occurred in 45 out of 50 states in the United States, and the District of Columbia, with encampments, occupations, walkouts or sit-ins on almost 140 campuses.[13]

Twenty encampments have been established in the United Kingdom;[14] across universities in Australia,[15] beginning with the University of Sydney;[16] and in Canada, including an encampment at McGill University.[17] On May 7, protests spread further on European campuses after mass arrests at the University of Amsterdam campus occupation,[18] including occupation of campus buildings at Leipzig University in Germany, Sciences Po in France, and Ghent University in Belgium.[19] As of May 8, protests have taken place in more than 25 countries.[20] On May 13, approximately 1,000 Dutch students and university staff took part in a national walk-out.[21]

Timeline

Early protests

An early protest occurred at Radboud University Nijmegen on 18 October, by students demanding the university cuts all ties with Israeli institutes.[22] A teach-in was held at Leiden University on 9 November 2023.[23] Student protestors demanding the university cut all ties with Israeli organisations protested at Delft University of Technology on 29 November 2023.[24] Other demonstrations followed at Utrecht University in December 2023 and January 2024.[25] Protests were also held at the campuses of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam,[26] Maastricht University,[27] Erasmus University Rotterdam,[28] Tilburg University,[29] and the University of Groningen.[30] 17 arrests were made during four days of protests at the Amsterdam University College.[31] It was noted, however, that most protests at university campuses in the Netherlands were peaceful and without police intervention.[28]

On May 6, hundreds of students started a solidarity encampment at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).[32] The next day, police cleared the encampment, arresting 169 people.[33][34] Over a thousand people protested at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Amsterdam in response.[35] On May 8, new protests emerged in Amsterdam, starting in and around university buildings and later moving to the Rokin. 36 people were arrested by the end of the night.[36][37] The following day, another protest was organised which again started at the Roeterseiland university campus of University of Amsterdam. Thousands of protestors went on to march through the city.[38] Three protestors were arrested by the police.[39] The UvA decided to close various campus buildings for the rest of the week.[40]

On May 13, after a national walk-out, students occupied campus buildings at the University of Amsterdam. Police in riot gear subsequently ended the protests in Amsterdam after "chasing away hundreds" of people,[41][42] and the university closed for two days after the renewed occupations on campus.[43] The Amsterdam protest continued at Oosterpark.[44] The UvA filed complaints against several protesters.[45] One protester was arrested; a criminal investigation was ongoing to determine if more arrests would follow.[46]

Protests during this period started taking place at the Radboud University Nijmegen on 12 May. Students and staff members set up a tent encampment and occupied a building on May 16.

Timeline at other universities

On May 7, protests took place at Utrecht University and the Delft University of Technology on May 7.[47] An encampment was attempted at the academic library of Utrecht, where 50 people were arrested in the night between May 7 and May 8.[48][49]

On May 8, a new encampment at Utrecht University was set up, which was cleared during the early morning of 9 May,[50] but without any arrests being made.[51] The university decided to close its buildings until Monday May 13.[52] The next day, a smaller protest was also held around university buildings of Utrecht University.[53]

On May 13, approximately one thousand students and staff took part in a national walk-out.[54] University buildings at the universities of Amsterdam and Groningen were also occupied.[54] Protests, some of which taking place next to tent encampments, also took place at the campuses of Radboud University Nijmegen, Maastricht University, Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology, Utrecht University, Leiden University (both in Leiden and The Hague[55]), Erasmus University Rotterdam and Wageningen University & Research, as well as other campuses.[56][57][58]

While there were no renewed student protests on university campuses on May 14, several encampements from the day before were still standing, such as in Groningen and at Radboud University.[59][60]

On May 15 a Utrecht University building was occupied by pro-Palestine protesters. The university decided to close various other buildings as precaution.[61] Protesters were removed from the building in the early night by the police.[62] Also on May 15, six student activists from Maastricht University announced to be going into hunger strike until their demands were met.[63] Students had been protesting at the university campus for three days by then.[64]

As protests were announced for May 16, the Erasmus University Rotterdam decided earlier that week to close its buildings that day.[65] The protest was moved to Rotterdam Centraal station.[66] At the Campus The Hague of Leiden University, students occupied a floor. The occupation lasted a few hours.[67]

Response

The protests were condemned by Prime Minister Mark Rutte,[68] as well as by various other high-ranking Dutch politicians.[69] Mariëlle Paul, the Dutch Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, suggested several times that it is "very questionable" whether the "rioters are actually students".[70]

The University of Amsterdam provided a list of Israeli organisations they work with, which was one of the demands of the encampment protestors. They refused to partake in a boycott of those organisations, which was the second demand.[71][72] Erasmus University Rotterdam followed on May 8 by releasing a similar list as the University of Amsterdam did two days prior, despite no university protests having taken place in Rotterdam.[73]

An "emergency debate" was called on 10 May by the Government of Amsterdam in response to the police intervention earlier during the first protest on 6 May. Despite criticism, mayor Femke Halsema stood by her decision to let police intervene during the demonstration.[74] Around 250 protestors demonstrated during the meeting outside the Stopera, where the meeting was held, dubbing this the "fifth day of student protests".[75] The same day, the Central Student Council of the University of Amsterdam called for the UvA board to resign after the board allowed for police to intervene during the first protest.[75]

On 11 May, the "sixth day of protests",[76] a pro-Palestine protest in Amsterdam attracted over 10,000 people. Many demonstrators denounced the police action earlier that week. Some protesters also called for Halsema to resign.[77] Also on 11 May, the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague announced their plans to terminate the student exchange programme with the Israeli Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. This was done in response to heavy student criticism. By doing so, the KABK was the first Dutch educational institution to cancel an agreement with an Israeli organisation.[77]

Jouke de Vries, interim chairman of the Universiteiten van Nederland, said in an interview during an episode with Buitenhof that the organisation was currently working on a new "demonstration protocol".[78] Examples of measures being discussed included overnight stays not being allowed in university buildings and protesters with whom negotiations are taking place having to identify themselves. This was supported by Robbert Dijkgraaf, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and tenured professor at the UvA.[79] The Dutch Student Union was critical, and asked to be part of the discussions.[80] The Universiteiten van Nederland later released a joint protocol.[81]

Despite negotiations having taken place the week before, the UvA board later made it known no longer to be talking to activists at all.[82] Other universities were stilling willing to negotiate with protesters.[83]

The Dutch Association of Journalists (Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten [nl]) has at multiple times expressed concerns regarding the press freedom and safety at the demonstrations. Journalists were repeatedly denied entry at various demonstrations and were asked to leave. According to the protesters, this is to protect the identities and safety of those protesting.[84][85]

Opinions in the general population were more diverse. An opinion panel research by EenVandaag published on 10 May, including 16,036 people (of which 560 students), showed that a majority of the panel members (83%) disagreed with the methods protestors used, and 75% agreed with the police intervention that followed. A smaller majority (62%) also disagreed with the protestors' demands. However, students were much more likely to agree with the protestors' goals and demands (63%), and 43% of student panel members agreed with the way the demonstrations were held.[86]
