Thanks for posting this defense of the petition and the accompanying arguments against Summers' position. In contrast with your take on it, I find it well done.

But something else strikes me that had not occured to me before. And that's that the entire affair, petition, criticism by Summers, and now defense, produces a debate about the use of terms like anti-semitism. Not bad university work.

The best argument that the "divest from Israel" movement doesn't focus merely on governments which do business with Israel comes from their own website:

divest-from-israel-campaign.org

They call for a boycott of Estee Lauder and Johnson&Johnson merely because these corporations support Israel, not because they do business with Israel.

divest-from-israel-campaign.org

F*** it, I say it's spinach and I say the hell with it.
