The money spent on replacing the stuff they break is enough to build multiple schools and hospitals in Gaza

But it was never going to be used for that. The goal is to make supporting genocide unprofitable. Sometimes that means breaking other people's stuff. Usually the stuff of people profiting from genocide and thats ok. Are you really arguing that a police force SHOULD be used to protect property over people?

How is the university profiting?

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I can't speak for the University of Amsterdam specifically but typically campus protests and occupations occur because the college is investing in weapons or tech manufacturing and research by companies who directly profit from the Israeli genocide through sales of those weapons or tech. By extension the university is also benefitting from those sales and therefore genocide through its investment.

In this case the damage is paid for with public money and their insurance which is paid for by the general public. I wouldn't care about it if it would be payed by Israel supporters.

I never said what these policemen do is right.
