Columbia U blocks BDS motion



From Columbia/Barnard Hillel's Facebook yesterday:

This evening at 8:00PM, Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) will present a referendum to Columbia College Student Council (CCSC) urging Columbia to join the movement to boycott, divest, and sanction Israel (BDS). There will then be a vote about whether to put this referendum on the ballot for CCSC's general elections in a few weeks. 

Here is a series of tweets from last night by Daniella Greenbaum about the proposed BDS resolution being presented to the student council:











I have heard that Scripps College also blocked a BDS motion last night, but cannot confirm.



We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
