"Is that a nascent BDS movement against Morocco I see forming across America on college campuses? No, I didn't think so."

I see the parallel you're drawing, and I'm buying it. We should definitely insist that US corporations get the hell out the Western Sahara, and Universities should immediately divest any their assets that are invested there.

I won't do business with them.

Your brutality is not excused by pointing out that others are brutal.

Donald Trump is the only one who recognizes the travesty. And to your point. Americans will wake up to Western Sahara, and I guarantee you, no university endowment is going to be invested there.

Though thousands of miles away from each other, and the subject of utterly different conflicts, Western Sahara and the West Bank sometimes seem to share uncanny similarities. At the same time, there are fundamental differences between the two territories, both in terms of their history and how they are viewed by the international community.

Last week, the two were linked fatefully when the Trump administration recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, seemingly in exchange for Morocco agreeing to re-establish ties with Israel.

But have at. Annex the entire West Bank, and continue to deny the 2.5 million inhabitants any civil or political rights.

Take off the mask.

Throw up a few crematoriums while you're at it.

Jared Kushner said it will be fine. He's probably right.
