Hypocrisy at the Heart of the Free Palestine Movement

In Gaza, a 22-year-old man was beaten to death for daring to protest Hamas. At universities in the United States, students march in support of ‘Palestinian Resistance,’ and hold multi-day hunger strikes in an effort to sever any financial ties with Israeli institutions. These actions embolden the terror group, without a word for Uday al-Rabbay. The contrast could not be more alarming.

Behind the Scenes of the Academic Boycott Campaign

On March 13, the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands announced it was suspending its student exchange program with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a program that has existed since 1986. The university tried to frame the move as part of a broader policy, which also included severing ties with universities in Hungary and China over concerns about human rights. But this move did not occur in a vacuum.

Pro-Israel voices are being suppressed in student newspapers

On many campuses across the United Kingdom, including at the University of Exeter, where I study, the prevailing “campus norm” regarding Israel is overwhelmingly one-sided. Marked by protests filled with extreme anti-Israel rhetoric and persistent propaganda campaigns, there’s little space or tolerance for alternative viewpoints.

Campus bookstore in San Diego peddles Palestinian propaganda

Groundwork Books is a longstanding student-run, not-for-profit “workers cooperative” focused on social action. Although not directly funded by the University of California, San Diego, it sits in the heart of the Old Student Center in a university-owned building where it champions anti-Israel ideas.

Harvard Law’s Addameer Partnership: A Case Study in Academic Recklessness
