Hampshire College Students for Justice in Palestine: News Spreads


Word of the claims of Hampshire College Students for Justice in Palestine--and the counterclaims of the administration--is spreading and provoking increasing comment--more of which is appended to the original articles themselves.

Herewith, a few sites:

(note the awkward attempt to achieve some sort of precision, within the limits of conciseness imposed by titles)

• Jewish Telegraphic Agency: "Mass college divests from firms"
(though note the slight disjuncture between the neutral wording of the article title--which manages to be both accurate and vague at the same time--and the way the title shows up in the URL)

Jerusalem Post: Haviv Rettig Gur, "College denies divesting over IDF ties"
(emphasis here shifts to the administration's narrative)
