On Friday, pro-Israel students at DePaul University stood up against divestment campaigns by the anti-Israel student group, Students for Justice in Palestine. By a referendum passage by a difference of only 242 votes, pro-Israel students came out in large numbers with the intent of rejecting the referendum.  Said StandWithUs National Campus Program Director Brett Cohen, “The close results of the vote show that the #DePaulDivest campaign is divisive, and a large number of students saw through its hypocrisy and double standards.” Many say that divestment techniques don’t necessarily stand strong on most college campuses because, according to StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein, “it presented allegations against Israel as settled facts when they are actually false or contested claims.”
