On March 17th, the University of California Berkeley Student Senate passed a resolution that the University should divest itself of any companies in which it owns stock that do business with Israel. The Student Senate accused Israel of war crimes and is attacking companies that support Israel. The resolution targets over $130m invested in companies that supply jobs, parts and electronics to Israel.
On March 24th, the Student Body President of UC Berkeley vetoed the bill. The President called the resolution: “a symbolic attack on a specific community” that is “being used as a tool to delegitimize Israel.”
The Student Senate plans to override the veto on April 14th.
