Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández showed support for the pro-Hamas protest encampment at UofT in July 2024.

As of July 2024, UofT professor Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández showed support for the encampment by signing on to a statement put out by UofT community members. The May 20, 2024 statement was part of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

The statement backed all the encampment’s demands, including divesting from the alleged “apartheid policies of the state of Israel and its ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

To show support, Gaztambide-Fernández submitted a “support selfie,” where text beside his face said: “DISCLOSE. DIVEST. CUT TIES.”

Gaztambide-Fernández’s selfie featured him holding a sign that said: “DISCLOSE / DIVEST / CUT TIES,” with Puerto Rican and Palestinian flags depicted below the text.
