Preparing for the Coming Wave of Campus Divestment Campaigns

One outcome of the spring wave of anti-Israel encampments on campuses was that many universities agreed to entertain the outrageous demand for divestment from Israel. The debate over divestment is now likely to be at the forefront of the coming fall wave of campus protests. In this talk Dr. Pessin will provide many arguments against divestment while looking at some case studies of successful responses, hoping to provide defenders of Israel and Jews with the resources to respond to the campaign.
