Students want U-M to divest from Israel
Dearborn student government group wants the school to cease interaction with firms doing business with Israel.
Karen Bouffard / The Detroit News
DEARBORN -- In a move already sparking debate, the student government at the University of Michigan-Dearborn passed a resolution last week demanding the school stop doing business with Israel.
The student Senate unanimously approved a resolution last Tuesday calling on the Board of Regents, which also sets policy for Michigan's campuses in Ann Arbor and Flint, to divest from companies that profit from the actions of the Israeli military in what the resolution claims are "illegally occupied territories."
"We want the university to withdraw their investments so these companies think twice about selling their products or their services to the military," said Bilal Dabaja, 21, a senior political science major.

Bilal Dibaja should try to spend as much time on fighting the Saudi government's oppression of women and foreign workers, and its total lack of religious, political and cultural freedom......
as he does on attacking Israel's right to defend itself from his barbarian Islamofacist cousins. |

| Many boycotted South Africa when they still clung to their racist system of apartheid. I don't see anything wrong with boycotting Israeli goods while they insist on their own extreme racism. |

Nice analogy dipshit..... comparing colonizing Europeans in Africa to Jews RETURNING to their ancestors land...and RELEARNING their language of Hebrew.....
Rome and Mecca must simply get over the fact that Jews are alive and well and are allowing Christians and Muslims to operate within the 'holy places'.....that were at one time stolen from the Jews....
a light unto the nations indeed..... |
