DIVEST THIS!: Hey, remember that

DIVEST THIS!: Hey, remember that anti-Israel conference that was supposed to happen at Rutgers, until the national Palestinian Solidarity Movement got fed up with Little Red Kaffiyah Hood's antics and moved it to Ohio State? Well, it took place last weekend, and attendance was in the low hundreds, compared with 10,000 who signed a petition protesting the gathering. The conference's #1 demand? Divestment from Israel by colleges. Number of colleges in the United States who have actually divested from Israel since this "movement" began? That'd be zero, and that'd be staying that way.
Besides, I knew no one at Ohio State would care about such a contrivance, not with the Michigan game just two weeks away. Because don't forget: the Buckeyes and Wolverines have been fighting each other about twice as long as the Israelis and Palestinians have- and I can see peace coming to the Big Ten before it arrives in the Middle East.
