🇺🇸 🇮🇱 The House voted 237-169 to strip federal funding from any university that boycotts Israel, including institutions in West Bank settlements the ICJ ruled illegal in 2024.
Read the mechanism behind this.
A school must certify annually that it permits cooperation with those institutions or lose Pell Grants and student loans, which for most universities is the difference between operating and closing.
Only two Republicans, and Davidson, voted NO.
Thirty-three Democrats voted YES.
Now look at who lives on a campus.
Pew's data shows 75% of Americans aged 18 to 29 hold an unfavorable view of Israel, including 64% of young Republicans and 80% of the religiously unaffiliated under 50.
Among adults under 30, the Palestinian Authority now polls better than the Israeli government.
Congress just aimed a funding clause at the exact demographic that has moved furthest away, and threatened their financial aid to do it.
Here is what more Americans keep noticing. No other country gets this.
Universities divest from fossil fuels, from Sudan, from private prisons, and Congress stays silent.
Boycotts of China draw no legislation at all.
It's OK to support Israel's security and still find that strange.
When persuasion stops working, the honest move is a better argument or more healthy discourse, not a lien on a student's tuition.
