American Jewish interests aren't going to take divestiture from Israeli financial interests lying down.
Easier just to let those students go to some other university.
You know, after the initial rash of protests where they were chasing around jewish students on campus I hadn't looked too closely at the protests because....again, it seemed like nonsense to protest your own university over a war...because no matter what you do, UCLA isn't going to launch a carrier group off N Africa.
So in fairness I went and dug through some articles to try and figure out what exactly is being protested and why, and what (if anything) they want their university to divest from....
And it appears that the protesters don't actually know what they want these universities to divest from. The universities aren't required to list or make public what investments they have...generally. In several cases it appears that one of the demands the protesters are making on the universities is a list of investments....so the protesters can then figure out what sort of divestiture they can protest for lol.
Other things I saw....
1. Conspiracy theory antisemitism far beyond what Alex Jones himself might even dream up. Protesters who don't believe Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, or they don't believe Hamas kidnapped anyone, or don't believe anyone was raped, and these are all fabrications of some zionist/US propaganda. They make the January 6th protesters seem like a bunch of reasonable people who had good planning.
2. Janitors taken hostage. Seriously. 3 people who have never done anything but make these insufferable losers lives more bearable were basically held against their will by a bunch of entitled and unemployed children....for no real reason at all.
3. Protesters who apparently believe that their protest should be a catered event. A female protester said without a hint of irony that despite their total disruption of the university campus....the university was wrong to not provide on site food and water when the protesters were getting hangry. It was an extraordinary stretch for victim hood....and hopefully, the most embarrassing moment of that woman's life.
4. Another protester who tore down kidnapping posters (posters of those kidnapped) claiming victim hood after being expelled, banned from campus, and having her scholarships revoked.
There's a lot more of course, but what I saw makes me think I would double down on my previous statement. These aren't the brightest bulbs in the box. If they didn't realize they wouldn't be catered to during their temper tantrum...and didn't bring food...it seems really unlikely that they have a strong grasp of the university's financial interests abroad. To think these are the same people who want to have the cost of their "education" forgiven is pretty wild. At least when it was Black Lives Matter and the demands centered on "hiring less white people" it was transparently selfish and motivated by economic gain and racism. This apparently is just a bunch of spoiled children wasting what few opportunities they have before they've been cast out of academia with a load of debt and no one to care what any of their political beliefs are.
