    I don’t think the students though that divesting would save all the Palestinians. I mean, I am sure one person did, but that is what happens when you have a large group of people. I think they just wanted to apply pressure against Israel where they could.

    I think it is based and probably the most effective thing they could do to stop the genocide.

      Divesting is a step, but it just allows them to remove personal responsibility for the death/suffering. (Which matches the latent cultural narcissism)

      It does not actually stop anything, it may delay the scheduled future.

      Meanwhile bombs and bullets already in production will go down range.

        Uh, no. Divesting from South Africa had a big effect on the end of Apartheid. It’s just not enough to do much by itself. But it is enough to push it over the top.
