Brown University Votes Against Divesting from Israeli War Machine, Rejecting Student Demands
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a blow to the student Palestinian solidarity movement, Brown
University voted against divesting from 10 companies that are complicit
in Israel's occupation of - and war on - Palestinian territories. In a
social media post condemning the news, the Brown Divest Coalition
warned, "All settler colonial institutions will fail." Students across
the country are marking a Week of Rage with die-ins, walkouts and other
actions to protest one year of genocide in Gaza and Israel's escalating
war on Lebanon.
