    Protestors: we demand you de-invest in Israel!

    University: how about we let our corporate board have a token vote on whether to de-invest in 6 months time when all of these protests have been forgotten about?

    Protestors: yayyyy we won!!!

      No, it means they’ll have further reinvigorated and refreshed protests in 6 months.

        Ah, someone unfamiliar with history.

        Just a tip: if you’re ever fighting a popular rebellion and they say “go home and we’ll grant you amnesty,” they’re lying about that too.
