The University of New Mexico newspaper publishes a document as news presented by IMEMC showing their version of a map — a deceiving ‘map’ made available by the Daily El Lobo ‘newspaper.’

A map was made to show the numerous universities with anti-Semitic sentiments that have divested from American/Israeli companies. The map was made to deceive.

In fact, NO university has divested from any part of Israel, although some ‘sheeps in the Lobo mouth’ student bodies have voted to do so.
