As student protests around the world call for their educational institutions to divest from companies with ties to Israel, we speak to the Reverend Dr. Serene Jones, the president of Union Theological Seminary, an ecumenical seminary affiliated with Columbia University that is one of the first schools to begin divesting from companies that “profit from war in Palestine/Israel.” Jones says divestment is an extension of Union’s “long policy of trying our best to bring our values, our core mission and our conscience to bear on how we invest our money,” and credits student activists with pushing the administration to action. Jones criticizes Columbia’s decision to arrest student protesters with a “police takeover” and “violent decampment,” in contrast to Union’s approach to student political expression. “We support students learning what it means to find their voice and speak out for justice and freedom,” she says.

They’re really not. If anyone actually said the truth they’d probably be k’ll’d. I’ve never seen anyone, anywhere talk about, make a video of, or call attention to the actual truth of our world. I’ve looked for nearly two decades. It took me a long time to figure out why no one says it, was really perplexed, it’s because you’re all institutionalized, and i mean everyone in the western world, to ‘pretend’ like reality doesn’t exist. They use a bias to hide behind reality, always beginning at an arbitrary point of origin. PhDs to laymen, everybody does it. It is lunacy.

It is well-worth noting that this type of divestment is *not* actually what most protesters are demanding. The very specific wording of the public statement shows that UTS is divesting only from those companies who they determine are *profiting from* the war. The demands on most campuses are to divest from companies who do business with the Israeli government. I have heard some calls for cutting ties with those profiting from the war, but the difference is pretty important (and also not important at the same time). What UTS is doing in some ways goes further than the protesters' demand, and in other ways falls extremely short. Just to be clear, UTS's divestment is amazing, and at worst is a good compromise. But when targeting only companies who profit from the war, the financial impact is spread across multinational corporations who can all seek alternate business; compared to the protesters' demands to divest from companies who do business with the Israeli government, which would directly target the Israeli government and focus the financial burden on them, which in theory will change their choice of actions. The UTS's plan has the advantage of targeting more businesses who may be "on both sides" of the war. But in all certainty is a less effective strategy if the intended outcome is to make the Israeli government stop what they are doing. Hopefully this is a non-partisan enough way to explain things. I am happy for the UTS's announcement, but also aware of its very specific wording and carefully selective approach. And I still think it is an overall great move in any case, so I don't mean to criticize too much.

Just a few years ago, Gaza decreed that unmarried women could not travel without the permission of a male guardian. LGBTQ rights? Homosexuality is a crime punishable by death throughout the Islamic world. You're dreaming if you think this would be any different in Palestine. Meanwhile in Israel, gay and lesbian Palestinians fleeing persecution in Gaza have been granted asylum.The only place ANYWHERE in the Middle East where these freedoms exist is Israel.

Israel is supposed to give back the land it conquered after having been attacked in 1948 and 1967. A land that assured their security. What about Western countries who kept the land they conquered although they were the attackers? An example: Britain and the Opium War in China in around 1840. Britain forced China to import opium. China declared opium illegal and wanted to stop the opium trade. Britain attacked China and forced it to trade opium and sign the treaty of Nanjing that gave Hong Kong to the British Empire. Hong Kong was “occupied “for 100 years. Another example: the Rock of Gibraltar in Spain. It was captured by the British in 1794 and still belongs to Britain... And what about France and all the colonies they kept for over 100 years, although they were also the attackers? What about some of those colonies that France still occupies? New Caledonia for example. As for the US, they don’t occupy land, but they put puppets in South American governments and help terrorists. They installed Pinochet in Chile because Allende was caring for the people. So, please, Britain, France, and the US look at the plank you have in your eyes before trying to remove the speck from Israel’s eye, and stop saying do what I say but don’t do what I do.

This gives me so much hope. I can't even express the gratitude and relief in knowing that there are good shepherds out there that are not leading their flocks astray. This gives me so much hope that there are leaders, teachers, evangelists, pastors and administrators in the Body of Christ who stand on scriptures as their rock and foundation in these difficult days. May the Lord continue His good work through His servants as we shine brighter and brighter until the final day.

I’m so impressed by this guy. Rene Lichtman is so very knowledgeable and correct in his views. During this interview he covers just about everything to do with this situation perfectly. The world of people are so insane it’s simply frightening. The so called good people are the bad people and they don’t even know it or they just don’t care.
