Brown University’s corporate board will vote on a proposal to divest from Israeli interests, the university announced
What’s the bet the corporate board votes no?
Are you implying capitalists would ever chose profits over morality?
Don’t ask good questions now!!! Final warning
Protestors: we demand you de-invest in Israel!
University: how about we let our corporate board have a token vote on whether to de-invest in 6 months time when all of these protests have been forgotten about?
Protestors: yayyyy we won!!!
No, it means they’ll have further reinvigorated and refreshed protests in 6 months.
Ah, someone unfamiliar with history.
Just a tip: if you’re ever fighting a popular rebellion and they say “go home and we’ll grant you amnesty,” they’re lying about that too.
