Dear Senators,
As members of the University of Oregon community, we urge all ASUO senators to listen to the voices of their constituents and to oppose the BDS resolution on Wednesday, May 23rd.
While our community has profound differences of opinion about Israeli policy, we all agree that anti-Israel BDS measures would harm our community by forcing a division between students. We feel that this process has given little attention to the thoughts and opinions of many students, including the Jewish community.
We invite students to work with us towards a more civil, inclusive, humanitarian, and constructive debate about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our hope is that through this dialogue we can identify ways for University of Oregon to support Israelis and Palestinians who are working to build peace.
Please VOTE NO on the upcoming BDS resolution.
