Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Industry analysts deny the prestigious university’s move has any connection to the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Harvard University sold all its shares in Israeli companies during the second quarter of 2010, the investment group which manages the university’s substantial endowment has reported to US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The university, which has the largest endowment of any school in the world, sold its $41.5 million holdings in a number of prominent Israeli companies, including $30.5 million of stock in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, $3.6 million in Check Point Software Technologies (an IT security firm), $1.8 million in Partner Communications Ltd., $1.67 in NICE Systems Ltd. and $1.1. million in Cellcom Israel Ltd.

This is not good for israel. So, sell israeli investments now before they are all junk...ie someone at harvard thinks israel doesn’t have a prayer to survive rest of the month.
Yep, it is about Iran and Obama’s tacit support for what they are doing.
Despite all their snarky denials, this is anti-semitism.
As Angelo Codevilla said, “Like a fraternity, this class requires above all comity — being in with the right people, giving the required signs that one is on the right side, and joining in despising the Outs.”
Anti-semitism is the new sign of ‘comity’ among the elites.
