Universitas Indonesia Takes Steps Toward Stronger Solidarity with Palestine

Just a month ago, Universitas Indonesia (UI) was under scrutiny for its alleged moral collapse. During its graduate orientation, the prestigious university invited Peter Berkowitz to speak, a man known for justifying Israel’s occupation and ridiculing Palestine. Outraged by this decision, students and faculty accused UI of betraying its principles. However, in a surprising turn of events, UI has taken significant steps to show solidarity with Palestine. The university has organized panel discussions, cultural events, and fundraising campaigns to raise awareness and support for the Palestinian cause. This proactive approach marks a shift in UI’s stance and has been widely praised by the academic community.
