I'm making a guess however that it's willing to accept money from the federal government who I'm sure would NEVER (insert sarcasm) be involved with any of the listed activities.

Israel has become a tech, financial and communications powerhouse. There will be many takers on whatever these noobs sell off.

Bunch of pussies. I’d immediately withdraw my tuition for my child if they were going there.

Disney? ESPN

Every part of movie production

Sports franchises

They should say they won't accept any money from jews. That would be a stronger statement.

Giving in to terrorist demands is an excellent way to make certain that they will make more demands.

Apple, Google, Meta, and Snapchat all have huge offices in Tel Aviv.

Is Sac State using any google services? Do they purchase any Macs or iPhones?

The Google office there houses Google Maps and Waze teams.

Are students who pay tuition who use any of the above included?

This will embolden the terrorist sympathizers protesting on college campuses. They will doubledown on their pro terrorist protests, and we all will get to watch more of this nonsense. Way to go Sacramento!

How does this even work? So, if the Israeli government buys computers from Hewlett Packard, Sacramento State will NOT buy HP computers? How are they going to know which of their vendors also sell to Israel or buy some small component from an Israeli firm? It seems like compliance for this would require numerous full-time staff to ensure that no product or investment had any part of their supply chain going through Israel. Or is it like most things in that it's just a statement that they have no intention of actually following through with?
