Glad that this antisemitic motion failed and I can go on exchange in Israel and see family.

Criticism of the policies of the state of Israel is not antisemitism. I think Queen’s could benefit from divesting from the weapons manufacturers at least. No need for tuition dollars to be funding death and destruction anywhere in the world.

The article makes a fair point; but in this world of cancel culture from the fringes, I too wouldn’t want to publicly announce that I am not giving in to the demands of an antisemitically-charged hate group that gets its funding from Iran, brainwashed the world through social media to hate Israel and Jewish people, and insists that Israel should be annihilated when it really supports Hamas, proxy of Iran, whose sole objective is to destroy Israel and America.

If they refuse to divest in war they are funding a genocide being committed. Don’t support Hamas one bit. But there are real aid being systematically blocked from people who have been caught between these two forces of Hamas and the IOF
Richard
Sorry but there’s not a genocide — using your own people as human shields and storing weapons in mosques schools and hospitals is genocide (looking at Hamas). Genocide requires intention. Listen to the Palestinian people who protest Hamas and get killed for it!

I don’t understand why a University is permitted to invest in companies which are making weapons of war that are being used to commit war crimes (ex: Lockheed Martin/Elbeit Systems/etc). They divested during South African apartheid, and should divest during this apartheid. There are other companies that they could invest in which aren’t being used to violate international laws.
