Protestors: we demand you de-invest in Israel!

University: how about we let our corporate board have a token vote on whether to de-invest in 6 months time when all of these protests have been forgotten about?

Protestors: yayyyy we won!!!!

No, it means they’ll have further reinvigorated and refreshed protests in 6 months.

Ah, someone unfamiliar with history.

Just a tip: if you're ever fighting a popular rebellion and they say "go home and we'll grant you amnesty," they're lying about that too.

Brown University’s corporate board will vote on a proposal to divest from Israeli interests, the university announced

What’s the bet the corporate board votes no?

Are you implying capitalists would ever chose profits over morality?
