This strange behavior is understandable if you realize that divestment supporters are interested only in tricking an institution – any institution – into taking an action that they can portray as being in lock step with their agenda: to tie the legacy of Hampshire College (in this case) to their narrow, partisan message. This mission alone is what is important to them, with truth and the reputation of places like Hampshire simply irrelevant to their single-minded agenda.

The administration doesn’t speak for the student movement that has won this divestment.

To take a stand again Israel in the US is a difficult thing to do, but if others join, Israel will be brought to justice to face there severe and horrific crimes…
