After the UC Berkeley Senate voted 16-4 to divest from companies complicit in war crimes committed by Israel during operation Cast Lead (General Electric and United Technologies) the bill was vetoed by President Will Smelko.

After two nights of lengthy debate and incredible external pressure the veto was upheld, but the attention the bill attracted and the coming together of so many different communities in favor of the bill makes this a victory for Students for Justice in Palestine and their supporters.

UC Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine have provided an impressive example of how to divest from companies who profit from the suffering of oppressed people in Palestine and around the world.

  • Incredible video Tom

  • make sure minji kim regrets her apathy for the rest of her life.

  • Islamophobes think they won this round, but a final vote of 16-4 in favor of overriding the veto is a victory for peace and justice. Congratulations to all who stood up against a well organized and heavily financed campaign by zionists. And yes, we shall overcome... and soon.

  • These are great human beings. Long live Palestine! Long live Palestine!

  • Good people. I now check labels of products I buy. If the word Israel is on the label it goes back on the shelf to gather dust.
