UC Davis Student Government President Vetoes Boycott Israel Resolution
(JTA) Marcy Oster - The president of the student government at the University of California, Davis, last week vetoed a resolution supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel. Kyle Krueger said he acted "because it included minimal to no input from the Jewish community beforehand," and the resolution "has been widely condemned by Jewish students of many different sects/beliefs who feel marginalized" by it. Krueger said the student government has failed the campus Jewish community, pointing to a history of anti-Semitism on campus. "Our respect for the Palestinian community cannot come at the expense of the respect for the Jewish community," he said.
