The UC Riverside Campus newspaper, The Highlander, is headlining this story appropriately as, "Passed and Shredded". It suggests that once again, the Palestinian-Israeli issue has led to to division, tension and at least intimidating glares on a US campus. In this case, the student government passed a resolution supporting boycott, sanctions and divestment from companies that do business with Israel, a resolution that the university will ignore-except for a brief statement.

It appears that no resolutions were passed regarding the on-going massacres in Syria.
Nor the persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the attacks on their churches, and the violence as the Muslim Brotherhood cements its grip on that country.
Nor the missiles fired into Southern Israel by Hamas in Gaza.
Nor the strife in Yemen as the last remaining Jews attempt to get out of the country and al Qaeda runs amok.
Nor the continuing bloodshed in Libya including the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi that killed 4 Americans including our ambassador.
Nor the Islamist-driven civil war in Mali.
Nor the constant terror attacks against Christians in Nigeria.
Nor the genocidal situation in Darfur as Islamists in North Sudan continue to threaten the black Christians and animists in South Sudan.
Nor the on-going bombings in Iraq as Sunni and Shia continue to kill each other and Christians flee persecution.
Nor the dwindling Christian population of Lebanon under Hizbollah
Nor the continuing killings and terror attacks in Afghanistan.
Nor the continuing terror attacks and killings in Pakistan as Christians continue to be persecuted as well as Ahmadi Muslims.
Nor the constant human rights violations in Saudi Arabia and second class status for women.
Nor the continuing development of nuclear weapons in Iran, the persecution of gays, Baha'i and Christians and threat to world peace.
Nor the daily assaults and harassment against Jews in European cities by Muslim immigrants.
No. It is all about Israel, a tiny democratic country where Arabs enjoy more rights that anywhere else in the region surrounded and threatened by barbaric, Jew-hating nations where human rights do not exist.
How ridiculous these university campuses look.

Regarding the UC Riverside Student Resolution in favor of BDS: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers".

Does this mean that all cellphones and computers will be destroyed. The microprocessors in these devices are not only made in Israel, they are designed there too.
No more Jewish lies please Findalis and the gang.
The cell phone was invented in New York City by Dr. Martin Cooper in 1973 while he was an employee of Motorola, an American company. Dr. Cooper ethnically Ukrainian, and religiously Catholic.
The Intel Pentium chip was invented in Santa Clara, CA in 1989 by a team lead by project manager Vinod Dham and chief architect John Crawford and first put out to market in 1993.
Israel need to stop taking credit for American inventions and achievements.
Ah yes the Brick. Although it is a cell phone by looking at its picture (The Brick) you forgot to include that it weighed 3 pounds and was inefficient.
The modern cellphone and its camera, its circuitry, etc was invented at Motorola Israel. Their world R&D Center.
The last 3 generations of Intel chips were designed and produced at Intel Israel. The companies R&D center in Haifa.
Today if you BDS you can have a Brick and an old computer.
Findalis,
This is the only reason I posted the anti-semitic screech by Mr anonymous, so you could set him straight. From now on he is persona non grata.
Jewish history month is in September I do believe.
The resolution was revoked.
