Divestment Campaign for Palestinians on U.S. Campuses
(AP/Washington Post) - Students and professors at institutions like the University of California, Harvard, MIT, and Princeton are backing the Palestinian cause by campaigning to get U.S. universities out of stocks that do business in Israel. They are modeling their effort on the divestment movement that helped topple apartheid in South Africa. The Anti-Defamation League sees the effort as an attempt to "demonize Israel, through the propagation of a false and odious comparison to apartheid-era South Africa."
