Photo: Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Wikimedia Commons Here in our snug little corner of the Middle East, we often cry foul about the plethora of anti-Israel injustices occurring at universities worldwide, and for good reason. These wrongdoings have been steadily rising for years, and continue to threaten Jewish and Zionist students. However,...

Last week, two new profiles appeared on Instagram, @BlackatCuse and @BIPOC.Syracuse. These pages, presumably created by Syracuse University students, invited students and faculty to post about incidents of discrimination and bias on campus to unite the student body against hatred.

Many universities consider Zionism as a solely political movement and fail to recognize that anti-Zionist rhetoric creates and often reinforces antisemitism on campus. Students...

This Holocaust Remembrance Day, as Israel and the rest of the world commemorated the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah, anti-Israel activists thought it was appropriate to vandalize the UMass Amherst Hillel center. Spray-painted in red graffiti, the name “Palestine” was emblazoned in Arabic on the front of the building. The...
