Following a five-day encampment at the campus of Ireland's prestigious Trinity College Dublin TCD in solidarity with Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip, students on Wednesday ended their rally when university administration announced that it had agreed with their demand of divesting from Israeli companies.
Every little win counts, and this is no little win. Boycotting and divesting from the occupation, makes it less viable and more of a liability.
The double-speak on the divestments in the US is insane, you’ll see a journalist say “the investments toward Israel are usually smaller than the investments towards the state of Colorado” and then in the next breath will state “Divestment from Israel will result in higher tuition for the students!”… usually they’ll just offer something pathetic like tuition to like 4 Gazans.
