These actions are totally unacceptable from a university towards students. Even if they weren't peacefully protesting against genocide, physical violence against the students by staff cannot be normalised. But they, the students, are also indeed protesting for the university to cut ties with universities that support and enact a genocide, and so in return the violence directed towards them is extra inappropriate. It is consistent however, with a university and regime in the Netherlands that ignore international law, that support settler colonialism, and that consider the enemy within to be the fee-paying peaceful students. History will judge them.
