Why BDS Can't Win
(Jerusalem Post) Mitchell Bard - There are approximately 2,000 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. Of those, 17 schools considered divestment resolutions in the current school year. Twelve resolutions were defeated and only five were adopted. On the five campuses where student governments adopted divestment resolutions, the chances of the university administration acting on the votes are nil. Consequently, the BDS movement has had zero impact on the policies of universities toward Israel. The writer is executive director of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise.
