Columbia University has divested in the past, so why not now? | Al Jazeera Newsfeed
Columbia University is under pressure to cut financial ties with businesses dealing with Israel or profiting from the war on Gaza. It has divested from problematic industries in the past, so what about now?

We want you !
Palestine come here, live with us / among us we love you !
More lies from AlJazeera. Funded by Qatar the place that also funds hamas and harbours their terrorist leaders.
You can control a mob belonging to a specific political party with riot police, but is there any example of abating a student protests by force? All major revolutions in the history were led by students.
It's an age old war between two religions, they have been after other's lives for centuries, but the world is not ready to accept the truth that religion poisons everything, and wars in the name of their religion will never get over.
No protests for Sudan? This is B.S! Anti-Semitic. Your silence on Sudan proves you are fake.
🇮🇱 From the river to the sea, Israel is all we will see 🇮🇱
To zionist christian, like the guy in thumbnail, WHAT JESUS WOULD SAY TO CHILD KILLERS!!!😢
this is different. Israel always gets away with human rights violations.
USA 🇺🇸 and Israel are allies
Israel is the daddy. Many states and locals even implement anti-BDS laws to retaliate against people and organizations engaged in boycotts of Israel.
30,000 kids dead in Syria where is the outrage? If you asked any protesters who Bashar al Assad is they could not tell you.
Well done all protesting students. ❤ and respect
I don't understand. Why would educational establishments invest in (1) foreign countries and (2) non educational related things – freaking prison?? How messed up are these universities? Isn't there some sort of legal code for them invest in? Who sits on these board of directors? Politicians?
Stop genocide. Save the humanity 😢
Columbia U is a failing university. Donner money is drying up.
All trade and workers unions need to STOP handling anything going into or out of Israel. Totally isolate Israeli.
Qatari state run media encouraging protests in other countries is hilarious.
The US federal government just gave Isreal $26 billion in military aid. It is really naive to think that a few million dollars divestment from universities would make any difference.
Columbia alumni have stopped donating. To date 14 millionaires, and three billionaires. Half of which are responsible for 32.23 percent of the endowment. Hmm…
Israel should get nothing from anybody and give all the land they've stolen back to the Palestinians
History can be so darn inconvenient.
Boycotting all that has anything to do with Jews.. including the Mets, Cycling, any store, food or company..Israel is THE DEVIL
What's up with all the face masks? They don't look peaceful at all. They look like terrorists. In the 70's 's we where wearing peace signs and flowers.☮️🏵️☘️✌️listening to John Lennon
Russia?!? Students have not studied hard enough.
Jews have pull out all sponsors…now the students can pay their own tuition fees. The president is now asked to resign or face the chopping block. 🤣🤣🤣
These idiots don't have a clue on how financial investments work. 1st Columbia probably has no clue what they invested in because of hedge, index funds etc. I bet everyone of those students have a Microsoft or Apple product guess what those two companies deeply involved in Israel's tech industry, the students are ignorant.
ITS EXPOSED….STOP THE LIES…SOROS MONEY IS USED TO GET THESE STUPID STUDENTS, NON TAX PAYING MONGRELS TO CREATE CHAOS. NEVER SEEN AMERICAN KIDS BECOME SO STUPID.
State funded media.
Divest ????? Won't change anything. The war will continue. Then the protesters will " demand " something else.
Anti war or really anti Jew?😂
AJ. News you can trust😂
Have you ever seen anyone who is completely reasonable in dealing with major historical issues? Most of the time, fists decide everything. Russia does whatever it wants in Ukraine. Why don't these protesters oppose it? Because they know that opposition is useless. Russia doesn't listen to them at all. Russia believes in fists. So on the Palestinian issue, fists are the only solution. There is no other solution.
Students are on the right side of history ❤huge respect for youth ❤they respect humanity , they want peace in the world
😊
So it means the universities have more power than the so called United Nations. Go Students, people are proud of you.
Students Tuition fee money can't help killing innocent babies . This is moral quandary for whole human being
This makes China look like an Angel.
Sheep.
All these protests should have been in 1948 to stop the creation of ISREAL with the support of Europe and the US. FREE PALESTINE AND JEWS SHOULD LEAVE PALESTINE AND CREAT THEIR COUNTRY IN EUROPE AND US.
Anitsemitism is not a justification for genocide!
Seeing these protests, i know all hope is not lost for humanity. Long live resistance and those who stand up for justice and against the oppression of others.
Any stories on the new iraqi law giving the death penalty to homosexuals
Maybe Columbia university leaders support Israel over their radical islamics enemies
These students watched too much Aljazeera 😂
Free America from izr@ell
You are the student, and we are the teacher. You will learn. Israel has spoken.
Becz its time to stand with truth and dnt giveup to jihadi ideology
The states (nations) all over the world, are not the real holders of power anymore, through acquisitions and mergers, businesses have become multinationals. As a result they have eliminated competition, grown exponentially higher in power and revenue. Multinationals as they are today have grown more and more powerful in proportion to the state (Nation) and worker, thus turning those very same workers into modern day slaves. The average worker today works long hours for a non living wage. Profits of multinationals have not only risen but, have gone to the top of the pyramid, less to the worker, and less to the state in the form of taxes. Furthermore, the lack of competition has stifled innovation and our abilities to solve the many challenges we face. Lobbying has made corruption legal, and politicians more and more accountable to those same multinationals that lobby or pressure them, and less and less accountable to the interests and well-being of the people.
