The University of Cambridge’s historical Senate House has been targeted by pro-Palestinian protesters, who sprayed the building with red paint early this morning. The incident, carried out by students in collaboration with the activist group Palestine Action, has sparked significant controversy.

In a statement on its website, Palestine Action explained the rationale behind the protest: “The site, used for the university’s upcoming graduation ceremonies, now reflects the Palestinian bloodshed which soaks the university’s financial records, research output, and historical legacy.” The group accused the university of complicity in the suffering of Palestinians through its financial and academic associations.
