November 19 saw a virtual gathering of notable Jew-haters and terrorist apologists to discuss “resistance across borders.” The webinar was purportedly a response to Israel’s terrorist designation of six “nonprofits” linked to the U.S.-designated Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a leftist Palestinian terror group known for hijacking...
McGill student social justice has become blind anti-Israel prejudice
In an Oct. 25 email, the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) argued that its new Divestment policy demonstrates “leadership” in “human rights, social justice, and environmental protection.” Mostly, yes. It is important to protect Indigenous peoples and divest from fossil fuels. But the Divest Coalition weaponizes this moral license...

הצהרת האנטי-סולידריות של UCCS: תרגיל באנטי-ציונות, לא בפמיניזם
במאי 2021, המחלקה ללימודים אתניים ונשים (WEST) של UCCS (University of Colorado Colorado Springs) חתמה על הצהרה אנטי-ישראלית. זוהי הצהרת ה”סולידריות” השלישית שנחתמה ע”י WEST (אם כי באופן מעניין היא היחידה שלא צויינה באתר הרשמי שלהם). היא שופעת גזענות, משמיצה יהודים ותוקפת את המדינה היהודית היחידה בעולם. זה אמור להדאיג...

UCCS’s anti-Solidarity Pledge: an Exercise in Antizionism, not Feminism
In May 2021, UCCS Women’s and Ethnic Studies department (WEST) signed an anti-Israel declaration. This is the third statement of “solidarity” signed by WEST, (though interestingly the only one unpublished on their official webpage.) It’s rife with bigotry, vilifies Jews, and attacks the world’s only Jewish state. This should alarm...
Academics for Palestine or academics against Israel?
Former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli said of universities that they should be “a place of light, of liberty and learning.” Of course, these truths are antithetical to and incompatible with the ethos and actions of anti-Zionist academics and academic boycott campaigns that target and malign the Jewish state.
