BDS Proposal Introduced At NYU

Share this article

Only a week after the deadly assault on a Pittsburgh synagogue, BDS proponents at NYU launched a new proposal. “In the aftermath of the deadliest attack in American Jewish history, a measure calling on New York University to separate its interests from firms such as Lockheed Martin, General Electric and Caterpillar Inc., which do business with Israel, was introduced on Thursday in the school’s student government,” the Jewish News Syndicate reported on November 6, 2018.

The JNS went on to report that the vote, scheduled for December 6, can only be attended by attendees with NYU IDs. “The measure also has the backing of 34 faculty members,” JNS reports.
