Harvard Divests From Israel?

I'm going to bed and will sort this out later. Readers will see scheduled posts throughout the morning. Meanwhile, see Atlas Shrugs, "Harvard Whores for Jihad: Harvard University Fund Sells all Israel holdings." And Solomonia, "Is Harvard Divesting from Israel? Not So Fast!"

More at
Memeorandum. Especially John at Power Line, "Et Tu, Harvard?":
There is a pretty clear pattern here -- again, assuming that the five nearly-simultaneous sales of shares in Israeli companies were not coincidental. Harvard is happy to do business with oppressors--real oppressors, that is -- as long as there is enough money in it. China and Saudi Arabia have, in sheer monetary terms, a lot to offer. But taking a "principled" stand against Israel, still the Middle East's only democracy (unless you count Iraq, on which the jury is still out) and the only country in the region with a Western human rights sensibility, is cost-free. Sort of like banning military recruiters.
