A lot of university's student associations have tried to adopt divestment measures with very limited success.

The single biggest issue is the fact that the leaders and founders of bds promote a one state solution, which is a non starter. Often it's not explicit, because it's referred to as enforcing un res 194.

Eta many Jews, including myself, consider the movement Antisemitic.
