Israel boycotts blocked at two universities – Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaigns were blocked at London’s City University and in Ulster, Northern Ireland | Jewish News

Jewish students seeking to defend Israel against the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign had reason to cheer this week, after BDS motions were defeated in two universities.
In the capital, a BDS bid was pulled at City University Student Union, after the Board of Trustees rejected it. A motion had initially passed in November, but Trustees over-rode it last month, arguing that it ran counter to the Student Union’s constitution. The proposer’s subsequent amendments – only made public on Sunday – were again rejected, and the motion was withdrawn with no debate.
