Pro-BDS students at California campus shout `Allahu Akbar' at Israel supporters
A student-government vote to urge a University of California campus to divest its Israel-related holdings was punctuated with cries of "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God Is Great," directed at supporters of Israel who attended the meeting, media reports say.
Activists waved Palestinian flags and heckled Jewish students, the Washington Free Beacon and other media outlets reported.
The resolution was voted on Thursday and passed 8-2.
It urged UC Davis to shed its holdings in companies like the heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar, security-services provider G4S, environmental-services firm Veolia and aerospace and defense contractor Raytheon, which do business with Israel, the Washington Times reported.
The vote reflects the efforts of the boycott-divestment-sanctions movement in the U.S. and worldwide.
A day after the vote, reports say, vandals sprayed swastikas on a Jewish-fraternity house, reports say.
