Pro-Palestinian Students Demand Divestment From Israel

As the war between Israel and Hamas rages on, many college students sympathetic to the Palestinian cause are focusing their protest efforts on a singular goal: getting their institutions to divest from companies with ties to Israel. The movement is not new. Pro-Palestinian student activists began pushing campuses to divest their endowments from companies with ties to Israel more than two decades ago. That push quickly evolved into the controversial boycott, divest and sanctions (BDS) movement, which has thrived on college campuses.
