“On November 3rd, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at Vassar College distributed posters utilizing age-old antisemitic tropes to promote Eli Valley’s event, “Drawing the Dystopia: On Non-Zionist Jewish Art and Politics.” We are appalled by SJP’s recent attempt at an apology in The Miscellany News, an underhanded response alleging the posters were simply “out of context.” It is deeply concerning that a registered student organization under the oversight of the Vassar Student Association would stand by the promotion of incontestably antisemitic artwork featuring subhuman and monstrous depictions of Jews. We call upon the administration at Vassar College to condemn the unconscionable and aggressive tactics of Students for Justice in Palestine against students on campus.”
