All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

    To be fair, many universities are making these steps. They have a dialogue with their students and are going to work towards divestment, even though it will take time, and those student bodies are happy to accept that. It’s very important to note that the schools facing protests are either unwilling to attempt divestment at all, or are refusing to even entertain the possibility of divestment by completely ignoring the request.
