Northwestern students vote in favor of divestment . Student senate passes resolution 24-22 recommending administration cut ties with six firms that do business with Israel

The Times of Israel reports:

After a marathon debate, Northwestern University’s student government on Thursday voted in favor of a motion to call on the school to divest from six corporations for complicity in alleged violations of Palestinian human rights.

There's more:

The NU Divest movement called for the end of the university’s financial investment in Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Elbit Systems, Hewlett-Packard and G4S because the corporations’ are “profiting off of the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands,” according to the group’s website.

The vote came on the heels of a similar measure by the Undergraduate Senate of Stanford University, which on Tuesday passed an Israel divestment bill that had been defeated the week before.

The resolution calls for Stanford University trustees to divest from companies that “violate international humanitarian law by: maintaining illegal infrastructure of the Israeli occupation… facilitating Israel and Egypt’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians… [and] facilitating state repression against Palestinians by Israeli, Egyptian or Palestinian Authority security forces.”

Since the Northwestern students aren't calling for boycotts of companies that deal with Egypt, Yemen, and Iraqi Kurdistan should we conclude that Northwestern students are for female genital mutilation. Does Northwestern have a modern day Hitler Youth movement on campus?
