Why UCSB Should Not Divest from Israel
(Daily Nexus-University of California, Santa Barbara) Gefen Laredo - A recent article in a UCSB publication falsely stated: "Recently universities across the nation have begun to divest from Israel." Nothing could be further from the truth. No university in America has divested from Israel. The vast majority of divestment resolutions brought up at universities have failed. The UC Regents have already stated that boycotting Israel is discriminatory and they will not divest. Next, the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement is anti-Semitic. BDS is designed to undermine Israel's existence, and saying that the Jewish state does not have a right to exist is anti-Semitic.
