The Teaching Assistants’ Association at the University of Wisconsin-Madison worked very hard in shaping a resolution about military contractors to make it broader than just an attack on Israel, TAA officials said Friday.
They were reacting to a story in Friday’s Capital Times that said the intent of the resolution adopted on April 12, even though any mention of Israel had been removed, still obviously included Israel. The headline of the story characterized the resolution as “anti-Israel.”
….The TAA’s divestment resolution comes in the context of a nationwide campaign to push companies to stop selling Israel material that can be used against Palestinians.
