The frat boys who slander Palestine solidarity

posted on: Mar 11, 2015

Last month the student court at the University of California at Davis overturned a recently approved resolution to divest from companies that profit from Israeli violations of Palestinians’ rights.

Determining that the resolution was “unconstitutional,” the student court’s ruling was based on a complaint made by Jonathan Mitchell, a former student body senator and former board member of the campus chapter of a right-wing Jewish fraternity.

The fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), has close ties to Israel lobby groups intent on crushing the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.

The overturning of the Davis divestment resolution comes just weeks after the fraternity accused Palestine solidarity activists of a hate crime after swastikas were found spray painted on a fraternity house’s walls. The graffiti was found two days after the student government initially approved the divestment resolution.
