Early this morning, after an all-night session, the Associated Students of UC Santa Barbara (ASUCSB) defeated a BDS resolution 14-10.
Before the meeting this tweet went out from a BDS supporter:
When people complained she clarified that, no, of course, she didn’t mean to physically fight – unlike “Zionists” who love to. She then complained that she felt unsafe.
More troubling was this flyer found near UCSB before the meeting:
There is a clear correlation between anti-Israel activity and antisemitic activity on campuses, and some of the Jewish students at the meeting mentioned the fear they feel.
UC Santa Barbara is the only University of California school whose students did not pass a BDS resolution.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
