 CAMERA on Campus UK in Amsterdam, UK Parliament and Beyond
Rojin-Sena Cantay, Campus Advisor for CAMERA on Campus UK, recently traveled to Amsterdam to attend a student conference, introducing CAMERA’s mission to students across Europe. The trip provided a unique opportunity to connect with future UK university students and strengthen CAMERA’s presence within the European pro-Israel community.

By building new networks and reinforcing CAMERA’s role as a trusted resource, this visit helped solidify our impact both internationally and among UK students in attendance. As CAMERA continues to grow, fostering these global connections remains key to supporting and empowering student activists worldwide.

On Wednesday, January 22nd, Rojin-Sena Cantay, attended a parliamentary discussion hosted by ISGAP on higher education policy, foreign funding, and soft power. The talk highlighted critical insights into financial influences on Western universities, particularly from Qatar, with institutions such as Oxford and Exeter mentioned among those impacted. The discussion also explored the implications for democratic principles and the fight against antisemitism.

The following day, Rojin-Sena Cantay attended a symposium at the University of Cambridge’s Woolf Institute, where she had the opportunity to speak about her experiences, contributions to the symposium’s report, and the mission of CAMERA on Campus UK.

My College’s Efforts to Humanize Palestine Only Led to Anti-Israel Propaganda
Jasmyn Jordan is a 2024-2025 CAMERA Fellow and senior honors presidential scholar at the University of Iowa, double majoring in Political Science and International Relations with a minor in Journalism.

Under the guise of promoting peace and understanding, many college initiatives aimed at “humanizing Palestine” have, in reality, become platforms for anti-Israel propaganda. Jasmyn Jordan reflects on her own experiences at her university, where well-intentioned programs turned into one-sided attacks on Israel. She exposes the flaws in these initiatives, highlighting the need for balanced discussions that genuinely promote coexistence rather than demonizing one side.

Gen Z and the intifada: social media’s role in shaping anti-Israel narratives
David King is a 2024-2025 CAMERA Fellow at Bates College and Tel Aviv University.
In a recent article, David King, a 2024-2025 CAMERA Fellow and Bates College graduate, critiques the local chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for promoting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. He argues that BDS misrepresents Israel as an apartheid state, ignoring the nation’s provision of full citizenship and equal rights to all its Arab citizens. King also highlights the economic harm BDS initiatives can cause to Palestinians, citing the 2014 closure of SodaStream’s West Bank factory, which resulted in significant job losses for Palestinian workers. He contends that such actions prioritize ideology over practical solutions that benefit Palestinian livelihoods.

Hosting antisemites on college campuses endangers students
Farid Shukurlu is a 2024-2025 CAMERA Fellow at the University of Hull.
This article highlights the dangers posed by inviting speakers with known antisemitic views to university campuses. It discusses the case of U.N. Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s address at the London School of Economics, which raised significant concerns among Jewish students due to her history of antisemitic statements. The piece emphasizes that providing platforms to such individuals can ignite unchecked antisemitism, leading to hostile environments for Jewish students. It also references incidents at Exeter University and the University of Leeds, where pro-Israel students faced aggression and vandalism, underscoring the real-world consequences of tolerating hate speech under the guise of free expression. The article calls for universities to take responsibility and protect their students from such threats.

Betrayal of students at Yale University’s Jewish home on campus
Douglas is managing director of CAMERA on Campus.

In this powerful exposé, Douglas Sandoval, Managing Director of CAMERA on Campus, sheds light on a shocking incident at Yale University’s Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life. During a talk by former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, anti-Israel protesters from Yalies4Palestine and Jews for a Ceasefire occupied the center’s main lobby, chanting aggressive slogans and creating an intimidating environment for Jewish students.

The protest, which lasted three hours, left many Jewish students feeling unsafe—some even hiding from the chaos. Worse, those who attempted to document the disruption were actively prevented from doing so, not only by protesters but also by Slifka Center staff. This blatant failure to protect Jewish and pro-Israel students has led to widespread frustration, raising concerns about the institution’s true commitment to the community it claims to serve.

Sandoval calls this a betrayal of Jewish students, questioning the role of Jewish institutions that enable anti-Israel hostility rather than defending their own community. The article serves as a wake-up call for students and alumni to demand accountability and ensure that Jewish spaces remain safe and supportive environments on campus.

CAMERA on Campus on the release of Israeli hostages

CAMERA on Campus joins the global community in expressing profound relief and joy at the release of a few Israeli hostages: Romi Gonen, 24, Doron Steinbrecher, 31, and Emily Damari, 28, who endured 471 terrifying days of captivity under Hamas. Their survival is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and their return speaks to Israel’s unwavering commitment to bringing them home.

We also share the fears of many Israelis that released terrorists may seek to resume violent attacks on innocents, and we hope the international community will remember the full facts of the agreement if the Jewish state is compelled to respond.

On college campuses worldwide, these considerations have a direct impact on the climate and discourse. Anti- Israel student organizations expressed support for Hamas’s actions and its brutal attacks against civilians.  This not only fosters a hostile environment for Jewish and pro-Israel students but also undermines the values of academic integrity and respectful dialogue that universities must uphold.

We call upon university administrations to recognize and address the challenges posed by these developments. It is imperative to ensure that campuses remain spaces where Jewish and pro-Israel students feel safe and respected, and where apologetics for Palestinian terrorism, kidnapping, and violence by radical faculty and student groups is unequivocally condemned.

CAMERA Report: Ivy League – How Brown University Radicalized Students After October 7th
David Litman is a Senior Research Analyst for the Commitee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting & Analysis.

A recent CAMERA report titled “Ivy League Propaganda: How Brown University Radicalized Students After October 7” examines the response of Brown University following the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas. The study highlights that, despite the university’s commitment to fostering informed discussions on the events in Israel and Gaza, the subsequent campus events were dominated by anti-Israel and antisemitic narratives. Notably, the report points out that throughout numerous recorded sessions, there was an absence of acknowledgment regarding Israeli civilians, including children, who were taken hostage by Palestinian terrorists during the attacks.

Speakers at these events often portrayed the actions of October 7 as legitimate resistance, using terms like “anti-colonial action” and “liberation struggle” to describe the violence against Israeli civilians. The report raises concerns about the role of faculty and administrators in allowing such narratives to proliferate, suggesting a shift from education to ideological indoctrination within the institution.

The reason I’m not impressed by Robinson’s response to Applefield’s column

In a recent CAMERA article, David Litman critiques an op-ed by Benjamin Robinson, an associate professor at Indiana University Bloomington, for his response to a student’s concerns about antisemitic and pro-Hamas propaganda on campus. The student, Rachel Applefield, had detailed specific instances of such rhetoric in her op-ed. Instead of addressing her arguments, Robinson’s response, titled “Addressing Rachel Applefield’s apology for Israel’s genocide,” focused on personal attacks, labeling Applefield as “heartless” and lacking empathy toward Gazans. Litman argues that Robinson’s approach exemplifies anti-intellectual behavior, relying on ad hominem attacks and straw man arguments rather than engaging in constructive debate. He emphasizes that such conduct undermines the educational values universities should uphold and questions the quality of education provided when faculty resort to personal attacks over reasoned discourse.
