University Officials Struggle to Explain Israeli Divestment Moves

You can click hear to read, University Officials Struggle to Explain Israeli Divestment Moves.  The article was posted on the Investigative Project of Journalism site, February 13th and it delineates what prompted my beloved Alma Mater, Hampshire College, to divest from the companies that do business w/ Israel.  I plan to contact Hampshire tomorrow and try and get a factual account directly from them and will update my blog accordingly.  My position is that it is not fair for Hampshire to single out Israel for human rights violations while continuing to do business with companies that do business with human rights violators such as China, Cuba, Iran and Sudan.  I believe this argument stands, whether or not one believes that Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas.
