CAMERA on Campus Managing Director Douglas Sandoval recently attended Club Z’s National Conference, which took place January 17th-20th, where he engaged with high school students committed to pro-Israel advocacy. At the conference, Douglas hosted a writing and media bias workshop, equipping teens with essential skills to challenge misinformation and strengthen their pro-Israel activism.

In addition to leading discussions, Douglas connected with students at the CAMERA on Campus tabling session, sharing resources and opportunities to continue their advocacy beyond high school. As Jewish teens navigate increasing challenges on campus and online, CAMERA remains committed to empowering the next generation of informed and confident Zionist leaders.

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. The event provided a platform to discuss our efforts and the broader impact of our initiatives.

During Concordia University’s so-called “Week of Rage,” Jewish and pro-Israel students faced an alarming surge in hostility. Jacqueline Snidman-Stren explores how this event unfolded, detailing the campus climate, the impact on Jewish students, and the failure of university leadership to ensure a safe environment for all students. She sheds light on the broader implications of such events, emphasizing the growing challenges faced by Jewish students in higher education.

In the wake of the October 7 Hamas attacks, historical revisionism has taken center stage on college campuses and in public discourse. Isaac Grand examines how the narrative of that tragic day is being distorted, manipulated, and even erased to fit an anti-Israel agenda. He discusses the dangers of such misinformation and urges students to push back against efforts to rewrite history and undermine the suffering of Israeli victims.

As misinformation about Israel spreads rapidly on college campuses, fostering open and honest dialogue has become more crucial than ever. Andre Huynh shares his experiences as an advocate at Oral Roberts University, detailing the challenges of confronting anti-Israel bias, the importance of fact-based discussions, and the role of student activism in promoting truth. His article serves as a guide for others looking to challenge misinformation and encourage meaningful conversations about Israel.

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.

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.

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.

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.
