Late Tuesday night, the student government at UCLA voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling on the university to divest from the State of Israel. The move, sponsored by the campus group Students for Justice in Palestine, passed on the same day that two Palestinian terrorists murdered five Jews, including three Americans, as they prayed in a synagogue in Jerusalem.
This is the second time that students at UCLA have voted on the topic of divestment from Israel in the last year. A similar resolution failed to pass in February on a 7-5 vote after TruthRevolt's Ben Shapiro made an impassioned defense of the Jewish State. This time, pro-divestment activists took steps to prevent outside supporters of Israel from attending the event and a heavy security contingent required student ID or a media pass to gain admission to the hearing.
In fact, not a single pro-Israel voice was heard during the hearing, in part because of a strategy by so-called pro-Israel groups like Hillel, Bruins for Israel and J Street U to boycott the proceedings. As reported by Jared Sichel at the Jewish Journal, Hillel UCLA President Natalie Charney encouraged her community to sit this one out and instead hosted an alternative meeting to discuss ways of strengthening their campus community.
“We don’t validate this conversation, not in a space where people are able to spew hatred and anti-Semitism,” Charney said. “We didn’t subject Jewish students, pro-Israel students, to the hate that is in this room.”
The resolution passed 8-2.
What does it mean for a university to “divest itself” from the state of Israel? What are the practical ramifications of that? Does it mean students from Israel will not be allowed to attend the university?
Bizarro America. Up is down, black is white and RIGHT IS WRONG. Can’t wait for these students to have to live in the real world. Oh wait, in America right now, this IS the real world. Sad.
No, but they must wear a yellow Star of David on the outer clothes.
I LOATH Israel-hating leftscum /redundant.
BTW, God has said exactly how He deals with those who curse Israel. Noticed that He has carried through on His word, too — for all of human history, in fact...
Jerry Brown needs to “ divest” the islamoNazi UCLA campus off from the state budget. Then close the damned campus. Turn it into a public park that everybody can use
Don’t accept research funding from Israeli businesses. Don’t collaborate with Israeli universities. Pull all funds from the UCLA Trust out of Israeli investments. Don’t work with Israeli doctors.
Basically, cut all ties to Israel.
It’s pure anti-Semitic stupidity...
This is student government, not university policy makers. I went through college without anything to do with student government. The university made all the important and real decisions. Student government was for ass#o!es who to practice fantasy politics, socialists by far.
Looking forward to the headline, “UCLA Students Affirm Israeli Olympian Slaughter.” Smooth move UCLA.
I’m still waiting on God’s wrath on Obama and zilch has happened!! Now I know why America is not mentioned in the Bible. We didn’t last long as a country as per China which is mentioned in the word of God they been around for quite some time now. Russia and China will be united with the Muslim countries and do war against Israel it is in the word of God. We weren’t even worthy of a side note in the Bible. :(
I would expect nothing less from UCLA.
The voting age should be raised to 25 so that idiotic idealists cannot directly influence the US government.

I did not know that. Could you provide the verse?
So it’s “ just “ a bunch of students duped by the islamoNazi infiltrators. But where are the faculty? The administration? Governor Brown? The legislature ? And especially , where are the parents and clergy who are supposed to be instilling some positive values ? Or are all the “adults “ in responsible positions going to further enable this disgusting islamoNazi sh@t by the “ kids” — by just doing nothing to correct it, nothing at all?

72 virgins? I wonder if the two murderers who killed the 4 rabbis, and, who, in turn, were killed themselves, will be in for a very rude surprise when they arrive at heaven's gates and are greeted by St. Peter, who says to them:
St. Peter: "What 72 virgins are you talking about? Are you crazy? Who in the world gave you such ridiculous, wrong, and crazy information that 72 virgins would be waiting for you in heaven if you died in the name of Islam and murdered Jews?"
St. Peter:"I bet it was that hilarious con man Muhammad the Prophet wasn't it?"
St. Peter: "That Muhammad the Prophet is too funny. But you have got to give Muhammad a lot of credit for somehow being able to convince/persuade a lot of people that 72 virgins await them in heaven if they die for Islam, and if they especially murder unbelievers like Jews".
St. Peter:"Yes, that Muhammad is a barrel of laughs. But I'm afraid that if you and other murderous Muslims are waiting for Muhammad the Prophet to greet you at heaven's gate with hugs and kisses and tell you what a wonderful job you did in killing all those innocent Jews, you will be waiting and waiting by the gates of heaven for a very,very long time."
So much for “higher education”.
"What of China? As implied, this person is also a military leader and Satan gives him total military supremacy over mankind (Rev 13.1-4). He readily wages war on the earth, and a quarter of the world's population dies as a result of war at the time of the 4th seal (Rev 6.8). Later, at the sounding of the 6th trumpet, he may engage in another major war, this time in the Middle East. Recall that at the pouring out of the 6th bowl of wrath, the Euphrates dries up and provides a path for the 'kings of the east' (Rev 16.12). Then at the 6th trumpet, demonic activity draws a massive army (200 million strong) and the resulting war kills a further third of mankind (Rev 9.13-21). In total perhaps half of mankind die as a result of these end time wars. Some speculate that this battle involves China (kings from the east). As of 2012, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) was the largest army in the world (2.3m) with increasing hi-tech "
Just remember that the anti-semitsm that the nazis espoused was a product of the universities — just like today.
