Should Rutgers sell investments in Israel to pressure peace talks? Students voting on it

The BDS movement is ultimately just a libel against Israel funded at the top by mostly foreign (Qatar and others) actors to advance political (anti western imperialist, anti capitalist) and religious (A Muslim Brotherhood interpretation of Islam) goals. This perverse allyship of radical Islamist and radical progressive ideologies puts forward an inconsistent, incongruent, a-factual, a-historical and unequally applied list of accusations to justify their goal of delegitimizing and destroying Israel. Were they actually a good faith movement, they would be calling for boycotts of the governments of Israel’s neighbors and the worst human rights abusers like China rather than Israel. Here are some Freedom House scores. Israel (74-Free), Gaza (8- not free), Egypt (18- not free), Jordan (33- not free), Syria (1- not free), Lebanon (43-partially free but Iran proxy Hezbollah in violation of UN law controls the southern border with Israel), Iran (11- not free), Qatar (25- not free and invests billions on US campuses and along with Iran is the primary funder of Hamas and other “freedom fighters”, China (9- not free) Russia (13- not free and with Iran a main provider of weapons to Hamas).
