University of Michigan’s admin cancelled the student government’s referendum on divestment, threw 10,000 ballots in the trash, and said it would forbid future voting on the topic.
It is now surrounded by ceasefire resolutions passed by Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Washtenaw County.

As anti Zionist Jews, we condemn Acker’s disgusting weaponization of antisemitism when Israeli terrorism funded by our endowment continues to massacre Palestinians. Genocide is not a Jewish value, and Judaism is NOT Zionism!
Yes, your office was graffitied. It's surely annoying and upsetting for you. No, there was nothing antisemitic in that and I am disappointed to see you play this card. Meet with students. Treat them with the respect all students deserve. Stop looking for excuses.

this is when your Bush/Trump chief fundraiser and colleague, Ron, spoke along with an AIPAC hack at an Israel rally for parents weekend. The parents harassed us for holding signs about our religion.
9k were killed then, now it’s 34k.
Enough. DIVEST!
I get this isn’t the sensationalized narrative media cares to report on, but the only vitriol, smears, and harassment I’ve received as a leftist Jew, has been from fellow Jews that are zionist and non-Jewish zionists that are now galvanized and comfortable to do it themselves.

Israel does not make diaspora Jews safer. In fact, it endangers us by committing heinous acts of state terrorism and (falsely) claiming to do it in our names.
Real security in the diaspora will only be achieved by working in tandem w/ the global anti-racism movement.
When I hear Biden say that Jewish ppl need Israel for our protection, I’m reminded that western leaders use Israel to shirk responsibility of protecting Jews in their own countries.
Why should I need a US military outpost in the Middle East to protect me? This is all propaganda

It's also on the university leaders, like

This is on our elected officials who have been reluctant to ask for a ceasefire and a de-escalation.
A ceasefire saves lives, whether in Palestine or here in the U.S.
