Good, do it! I hope this will be the start of a flood of countries following suit. All some of them need is the realization “wait, we can do that?”.

And I know a lot of these zionist supporting countries won’t change, but one can hope.

Looks like they aren't the first:

Bolivia broke with relations with Israel at the end of October last year while several other countries in Latin America, including Colombia, Chile and Honduras, have recalled their ambassadors.

Recalling ambassadors is a huge deal. I don't know if Israel has followed suit or if those countries will expel existing diplomats.

I definitely thought this was referring to Columbia University until I read the article 😅
