This week, yet another divestment vote took place on an American university campus, this time at UCLA. However, the divestment failed, partly thanks to efforts by members of UCLA’s law school chapter of the Louis D. Brandeis Center. Members of the LDB law student chapter at UCLA law school attended the strategy session this past Monday evening to discuss how UCLA students would oppose the divestment vote. In our pilot year, we have launched LDB law student chapters at UCLA, UPenn, and American. LDB law students receive education and training on legal methods to combat campus anti-Semitism as well as host speakers and discussions. Chapters also address harassment of Jewish college students and examine legal aspects of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement’s anti-Israel campaign. After careful planning and discussion about how they would argue against BDS, e.g. the movement to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel, several law students attended the divestment vote on Tuesday evening. Law students gave speeches dispelling inaccurate facts about Israel’s human rights record as well as arguing that gross human rights violations by other countries that are being ignored by BDS. Finally, our law students argued that the core of the BDS movement is the destruction of Israel and is not a peaceful means to any advancement of human rights or solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With the coalition effort between undergraduate and law students on campus, UCLA’s student government successfully voted down the divestment bill.
