The Tlaib amendments to the DETERRENT Act would have required universities to disclose investments in countries defending war crimes or genocide cases at the International Court of Justice or countries whose leaders are facing active arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court, among other criteria, and to disclose donations from countries facing similar conditions.

The House voted down the amendment on investments by a 410-3 vote, with only Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) siding with Tlaib. It voted down the other amendment on donations by a 404-4-1 vote, with Omar, Pressley and Rep. Al Green (D-TX) voting with Tlaib and Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) voting present.

The USA is a state-sponsored of Israeli terrorism. Hell, they sponsor a whole lot of Saudi terrorism too. I only wish we as a people had more courage to use the force necessary to demand change from our ruling class.
