Gaza – What have ISOCs been doing?

ISOCs nationwide have done a fantastic job of raising thousands of pounds for the people of Gaza. Since the beginning of the Israeli onslaught against Gaza, ISOCs have held lectures, organised Gaza charity weeks, Gaza awareness weeks and have helped occupy parts of their universities demanding an end to Zionist support.

Here are some of the initiatives undertaken by in ISOCs:

-Oxford University ISOC with the help of other societies put together a fabulous press release that was signed by over 100 prominent Oxford academics.

-Coventry University ISOC held a week long Gaza Awareness Week.

-Manchester University ISOC is so far leading the way in fundraising.

-Kings ISOC helped occupy a room in light of the King's College Council's decision to award Shimon Peres with an honorary doctorate.

-Birmingham University ISOC and Warwick University ISOC are also participating in occupations in their universities to highlight the plight of Palestinians.

For information on what you or your ISOC can do to help the cause please email head.campaigns@fosis.org.uk
