Lmao and how the fuck are they going to stop you from boycotting??
Cowards, if all the universities stood in unison with Harvard on this, you could have caused Trump one of the biggest defeats in his new term.
Instead you choose to be complicit with fascism and genocide.
I’ll boycott who I damn well please
A) My student government certainly didn’t have a budget worthy of boycotting anything.
B) Do it anyway. Boycotts are speech, you’re in California, and students aren’t obligated to do anything because the school would prefer it. Hell, do it because they told you not to.
C) Don’t boycott a specific country. Boycott all countries found to be plausibly engaging in genocide. Or all countries currently occupying extraterritorial land. Or all countries currently engaged in large scale offensive military operations. Give an exception for the US of A because you’re so patriotic. Israel is in a small club of rogue nations and we don’t generally do business with them.
My guess is that the US is threatening to cut away school funding, and so schools banned their student government from boycotting Israel.
I genuinely don’t understand how this is supposed to work. Do they have to buy something from Israel every month or so to avoid punishment? Like if you don’t need to buy anything from Israel, it’s functionally the same as refusing to buy anything from Israel.
You’re not supposed to say you’re boycotting Israel is the point, I think. Look up anti-BDS laws; this is already a thing in quite a few states.
Buycott everything but Israel.
Trump: Excellent idea! And we need tariffs here too to fill my beautiful budget!
This is quite a good representation of how western democracies work. You can have petty fights about useless subjects and change laws that affect the plebs, but you can’t enact any laws that challenge capitalist interests
Protest and boycott harder. If the authorities don’t like. It’s probably the right thing to do
It’s not a boycott, we’re just allergic to fucking genocide.
Israel controls Western governments but the US is in a league of it’s own
and censors university protesting speech, because they donate to a signifcant majority of them.
