Several members of Jewish Society fuelled by a Salient report of the National Executive meeting (at which the voting was discussed), were out for Don Carson's head. So they conveniently jumped on Robert Lithgow's 'we want an SGM' bandwagon, and said that they wanted an SGM to debate their motion.
As far as Salient can work out, there are no grounds for passing a vote of no-confidence in Don. Even though there is still some confusion, it seems that the National Executive approved the motion to expel the Israeli Students body because of its international policy which holds that 'imperialism, colonialism and neocolonialism to be the major stumbling blocks to self-determinations', and because NUIS are active supporters of the imperialist Israeli Government.
If anyone disagrees with this decision, they should move a motion of no-confidence in the National Executive, or else move to change NZUSA policy.
