The College Fix: University of Oregon students that want to eat certain brands of hummus won’t find them at any event connected to their student government.
Last week the Associated Students of the University of Oregon Senate voted two-thirds in favor of an anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions resolution, in a meeting attended by more than 200 students, according to The Daily Emerald.
The resolution bars the student government from buying products made by companies that are “complicit in Israeli settler colonialism and the Israeli occupation of Palestine,” including hummus makers Sabra and Tribe, home carbonation maker Sodastream and heavy equipment maker Caterpillar.
It says the university “has historically been a proponent in funding the business of state-sanctioned violence,” and asks it to divest from companies including General Electric and water cooler maker Eden Springs. more here
I love Hummus and I always associate it with Middle East more Arabic cultures.. Lots of great flavors in that part of the world..
How prejudicial of them to ban hummus…..
There is a serious need of some ass kickin’ in collegiate student governments.
It appears the Eugene is trying to catch up with Portland and Seattle in stupidity. What @#$%^&*&^%$ difference does a decision by 200 idiots over hummus make in the real world. Aren’t there real problems in the real world that need attention?
Never mind UO, we wouldn’t like any of your solutions anyway.
Garbanzo beans are also called Billy beans. Don’t ask me why they just are. The grow a lot of them down on the Idaho Palouse around Moscow and in that area. And lots of lentils mostly for export, I love lentils.
Sure hope they don’t ban Hummus Alabummus.
I thought the term “Blacklist” wuz rassis!
Just when you think stupid has reached maximum output…
What a load of crap.
Is Kimchee banned due to human rights violations in Korea?
Yorkshire pudding banned because of Brexit?
Chinese food banned because of Tibet?
Steak Houses closed in deference to Indian reverence for cows?
Olive Garden shuttered because of new Italian Populism?
Or close all Colleges that are located on ‘First People’s’ land
Didn’t these RETARDS’ parents liberate S Africa a generation or so ago? It is such a Utopia now. I guess mental illness is genetic. What a shame it doesn’t stop them from breeding.
Support the South African White Genocide!!!!!
We need to get Federal funding OUT of the “higher” education scam.
No Pell grants. No “Fed-insured” “loans.” No “grants” for “research” into stupid bullshit – just get out – and stay out.
If the Several States are criminal enough to continue the charade they (the liars and grifters of the education scam) should be attacked on an individual basis (philosophically, not physically).
All that really needs be done is to allow the dullards and retards who have graduated from these institutions to speak for themselves. They bray like asses and avoid any and all reference to reality or facts.
Don’t just let them speak – make them speak and defend their alma maters.
izlamo delenda est …
Isn’t Hummus a cultural appropriation anyway?
Hummus is mashed chick peas. Finding that out may cause them to ban all chicks.
As A. Bunker may have said “hummus…ha-maas…whateva”.
UoO has ALWAYS, more or less, been a hotbed for learning liberals and Marxists formerly from Haight/Ashbury days.

Hummus.
Similar to when my cat coughs up a hairball and then eats it.
Ugh! Sorry Abdul.
These anti-Israel jerks will have to give up one of their favorite perverted pastimes. Although this was before the establishment of Israel the country, in 1930 at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, zoologist/professor Israel Aharoni captured and domesticated the golden hamster.
No worries, already told my kids (nearing college age), Oregon is on the list of Universities / Colleges they are too avoid 100% or receive no financial help from me & the Mrs.
I’m sure they haven’t given a thought to going to anyplace on the West Coast, but doesn’t hurt to give em advance warning! 🙂
Geoff….we grew garbonzos NW of Colfax for a couple years. I hated harvesting them. Very intolerant of herbicides so lotsa broadleaf weeds.
Spot on about lentils. A big ol’ pot with a meaty ham hock, pieces of bacon, onion, and a dash of garlic. Keeps the muzzies away.
I hope they have also banned the use of thumb drives and SD cards because in all fairness they are Israeli inventions. Also computers, because Israelis invented the 8080 CPU, which is the bases for all modern computers. The PillCam, for diagnosing intestinal problems, Waze, for vehicle navigation, Wound clot bandages and several thousand other inventions by Israelis over the last 75 years. C’mon guys, if you are going to BDS something, you should go ALL the way.
Don’t those limp-wristed snowflakes practically live on soy products?
What a predicament!
On the other hand, if they invested their money in the market instead of their dope dealer, they’d probably love companies like Cat – I do.
Usually I make my own hummus, it freezes well.
They hate Saba, who makes damn good hummus, a very successful Israeli company.
What will Caterpillar do now without that customer?
