Well it looks like the divestment crew is rolling out their "big guns." Yes, Noami Klein (she of Shlock Doctrine fame) has written the Berkeley Student Senators urging them to be courageous against the "intense pressure" that have been put on them by outsiders.

And by "intense pressure," she's not talking abou the moral blackmail that Berkeley's Students for Justice in Palestine have been applying to the school for a decade, or the 50 e-mails an hour Student Senators have been receiving from the Middle East telling student leaders to vote to override the currently vetoed divestment resolution.

Nope, by pressure she seems to be talking about the fact that people like me write things like this about her and her BDS advocacy at Berkeley. Usually those of us who fight against BDS are simply accused of "muzzling" debate through our nefarious tactic of contributing to it. But now it seems that other people having their say is also an example of unfair pressure being applied by one side. Care to guess what Klein and her allies will think about the democratic bona fides of Berkeley's student government if the ultimate divestment decision doesn't go her way?
