Students at London’s Kings’s College Vote to Join Anti-Israel Boycott Movement

In a major victory for the anti-Israel “BDS” (boycott, divestment and sanction) movement, the student body at the prestigious King’s College in London voted on Tuesday to endorse the campaign.  The students agreed to begin research into the College’s “investments, partnerships and contracted companies that may be implicated in violating Palestinian human rights.” Signs on campus will proclaim the students’ endorsement of the BDS movement and equate it with the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. The King’s College Israel Society responded by calling the move “an outrageous assault on intellectual and academic freedom.” On Wednesday, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PCACB) asked the legendary Rolling Stones to cancel its planned June 4th concert in Tel Aviv. The group stands to earn $6.7 million for the single performance.
