CAMERA on Campus Launches New #ThisIsWhatAZionistLooksLike Website And Social Media Campaign

Our team is excited to announce the launch of our #ThisIsWhatAZionistLooksLike campaign. The goal of the campaign is to reflect our belief in the right to Jewish self-determination, and we invite you to celebrate and learn about Zionism with us. We explore the history of Zionism through an interactive timeline, explore the diverse facets of Zionism and Zionist founders and leaders, and we debunk common anti-Zionist canards. In addition to providing students with fact-based research, educational graphics, and event ideas, we will be helping to publish effective and articulate articles. Last but not least, we have created an interactive photo booth on our website, where participants can join our campaign by choosing a photo frame, taking a picture, and including a bio that we can add to our This Is What A Zionist Looks Like Instagram page. Follow this link to visit our new website! Event highlight: On April 22nd, CAMERA hosted a conversation with world-famous human rights activist Natan Sharansky and award-winning historian Gil Troy for a discussion about their powerful new book Never Alone: Prison, Politics, and My People.

#ThisIsWhatAZionistLooksLike
“My relationship with Zionism is a very intimate and personal one. After thousands of years in the diaspora, 1948 marked the year in which we, the Jewish people, were finally coming back home to Judea and Samaria, our eternal land. What truly empowers me to be a Zionist is the fact that we Zionists have an important duty, which is to serve as a light and a beacon of hope in a region in which the concept of democracy barely exists.” -Juan Caldes
“This Is What A Zionist Looks Like” is a CAMERA on Campus Instagram project that aims to show the world that Zionists come from diverse backgrounds and have diverse interests. We showcase different Zionists, their stories, their interests, and their beliefs.To be featured in our  #ThisIsWhatAZionistLooksLike campaign, please follow this link.
