Fine, this seems reasonable. Just don’t camp and vandalize.

Looks like Frat boys are the hope for the future of this country.

Can someone detail what a “culture boycott” is? Is that = barring Jewish students from holding Shabbat services? What does that mean and why should that play into demands?

Eye roll. This is just as annoying as the protestors. Feels a fit nationalist to me but whatever makes you feel like there’s “hope”.

Everyone needs to get a grip and go study for finals.

Cultural and academic boycott. No Israeli pianists in concert, no Israeli painter exhibits, no Israeli speakers in general, no partnership with Israeli universities for science research...They want to erase Israelis entirely and Israel as a nation, pretend it doesn't exist.

You are saying that they are asking for the university to no longer honor the sister university status that it has with one university in Israel.

Your last statement proves your ignorance

They literally state they want an academic boycott. I'm not the one saying it.

I don't think the purpose is to erase anything. The purpose is to demand that partners behave in ways that align with our values. Once they reform and behave in those ways, the purpose of the cultural and academic boycott no longer exists, and ties can be restored if both sides have interest in doing so.

Defending the indefensible. They said nothing of the sort. There is no nuance. They want to erase anything Israel.

Are those the same frat boys that were making monkey noises and doing monkey dances at the protestors? Sounds about right.

They also never said the words erasing Israel, which you just made up.

I just explained the purpose of a boycott. Boycotts are not blood feuds with no feasible end in sight, you understand that, right? The purpose is to force a concession (in this case, different behavior), and the method of doing that is by exerting pressure on the other party. Since nobody exerts pressure on Israel, and when they try, the U.S. fends off the effort, there's no incentive for Israel to reform its behavior and policies. Maybe a boycott will help change their minds?

I am just here for the Frat Boy Summer. What a relief that normies still exist.

Not going to happen. An academic boycott is the antithesis of academic freedom. A “cultural boycott” is discrimination based on nationality which is illegal for universities to do.
