A discussion about divestment as a strategy on college campuses featuring Sherry Wolf, Stephen Shalom, and Ava Houshmand. Moderated by Jeff Goodwin

Divestment has been an important political strategy in many international campaigns. It has become increasingly used by campus groups around the world and the United States in fighting for Justice in Israel/Palestine.

  • The Palestinian call for BDS is not a campaign to bring Israel to its end, but rather a campaign to force Israel to uphold its commitments under International law and the moral and legal standards of a real democracy.
