CAMERA-supported Tufts Friends of Israel opposes anti-Israel course.<\/h2>\n

A fall course at Tufts University violates guidelines by the school\u2019s president, according to a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0issued by\u00a0Tufts Friends of Israel, a pro-Israel student group on the college campus.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cColonizing Palestine,\u201d the course proposes to \u201cexplore the history and culture of modern Palestine and the centrality of colonialism in the making of this contested and symbolically potent territory,\u201d according to the class\u00a0description<\/a>.<\/p>\n

JNS\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that the class focuses on writers and activists in the anti-Israel movement. Several Jewish organizations have condemned the course as political propaganda masquerading as an academic class.<\/p>\n

“Colonizing Palestine” course description. (Tufts University Colonialism Studies)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tufts Friends of Israel\u00a0say that the course breaches a statement by the Office of the President, which reads: \u201cWhile members of our community vigorously debate international politics, Tufts University does not adopt institutional positions with respect to specific geo-political issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy blindly condoning this course under the guise of the \u2018free exchange of ideas,\u2019 Tufts is explicitly endorsing a parochial narrative that rejects Jewish indigeneity to the land of their origin,\u201d the student group states.<\/p>\n

Tufts University now faces two options, according to the student group. Either the university must \u201cadmit to taking a geopolitical stance\u201d by offering a course premised on a \u201cbiased narrative\u201d that distorts Jewish history. Or the school must \u201ctake measures to greatly reform or retract this course and work towards the university\u2019s stated principles and \u2018bridging differences\u2019 initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTufts\u2019 academic reputation is on the line here,\u201d says Liel Asulin, campus coordinator with\u00a0CAMERA on Campus, an organization which combats campus anti-Semitism. \u201cDoes the school want to be known for scholarship or political propaganda?\u201d<\/p>\n
