Divesting from an apartheid state actively engaged in land theft, war crimes and genocide is not controversial. We have become so completely corrupted that investing in genocide is now accepted.

Calls to Divest From Israel Put Students and Donors on Collision Course - The New York Times

The deals, which have eased tension on campuses with only a few days left before students break for the summer, would have been unthinkable even a week ago.

@JohnPhilpin Yes, absolutely. I blogged about that recently and will do so again. It's worth rehashing it over and over. We have never reckoned with our own foundational violent settler colonialism, preferring to pretend it never happened. Sadly one of America's great super powers is lying to itself about what it is.
