A school year riddled with tension over New York University student and faculty opinions about Israel and Palestine came to a close with a graduation speaker’s praise of an Israeli campus’ boycott, prompting an apology from the school’s president.
“I am so proud, so proud of NYU’s chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace and of [Graduate Student Organizing Committee] and of the NYU student government and of my colleagues in the department of social and cultural analysis for supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions [BDS] movement against the apartheid state government in Israel,” Thrasher said.
Thrasher also noted during his speech that many of the people in the room participated in the Occupy Wall Street movement, Black Lives Matters protests and marched against the “fascist in the White House.” Hamilton reaffirmed that NYU rejects academic boycotts of Israel and calls to close the Tel Aviv campus, and “denounces efforts to ostracize or exclude those in the university community based on their location in Israel, their Israeli origin, or their political feelings for Israel."
Too little too late
Well it is NY....we expect this kind of stupidity
Why apologize?
Lmao
