Wow, this bullying is unreal:

>Ackman enlisted the support of at least a dozen business executives who vowed to never hire students who are members of the groups that supported the statement.

Is that bullying? Or just common sense?

It seems these students are at best idiots, or at worst giant jerks. But either way exhibit really poor judgement and most employers value judgement in their positions.

I don’t think student behavior should follow them their whole life so a lifetime ban is probably not a good idea. But would you want to hire someone who signed such a statement?

Or affiliate with a school that supports such organizations?

Criticizing Israeli government equals support for Hamas? Isn't it possible that both sides in a conflict are in the wrong?

It's the only sane thing to do. I would hate to hire someone and only later learn how abhorrent their view of the world was.

This is not a simple political disagreement. This is supporting the worst form of terrorism.

As a lot of people like to clamor when the shoe is on the other foot: freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences.

A JDAMS or laser-guided bomb delivered by attack aircraft would have created a large crater in that parking lot and significantly greater damage. What does Israel gain by targeting a parking lot with a precision weapon costing thousands of dollars. That explosion was caused by a failed rocket launch from the cemetery near the blast site. God loves idiots and fools so much he created zillions of them.
