Top 12 Zionist Student Activists of 2022
We are delighted to publish CAMERA on Campus’s inaugural list of the “Top 12 Student Activists” of 2022, a effort that coincides with the launch of our “This is Zionism” campaign. At CAMERA on Campus, we believe in honoring those who have shown great courage and dedication in their efforts in the fight against antisemitism, especially anti-Zionist expressions of antisemitism. This is why we are honoring twelve student activists leading this battle. They are steadfast, vigilant, and resilient in the face of adversity, apathy, and injustice. We honor them equally as leaders in their respective communities. In 2022, college students in the United States confronted 796 reported incidents of antisemitism. Students outside of the US have also experienced considerable antisemitism. A 2023 report by Community Security Trust (CST), an organization dedicated to combating antisemitism in the United Kingdom, indicated 150 antisemitic incidents, a 22% increase over the previous year. While comparable studies on campus antisemitism in Israel have yet to be conducted at the time of publishing this list, CAMERA Fellows have documented antisemitic incidents at major Israeli universities for years, including at two prominent institutions this year alone. Needless to say, the diligent efforts of these students cannot be honored enough. To learn more about the work of these exceptional Zionists, please follow this link.

We did a simulation where we had to debate with SJP [Students for Justice in Palestine] members, and debate is something we will absolutely do in real life.”Grosman said the conference gave him practical tools for confronting anti-Israel bias and antisemitism on campus. He pointed to the lecturers encouraging the trainees to speak up against injustice.“We were taught how to be vocal,” he said. “If a professor ignores our complaints of bias, we have to bring it up to administrators and get people involved to finally put an end to the anti-Israel claims and make sure that other students don’t have to deal with it.” Grosman said the conference gave him hope, in addition to constructive tools for this coming academic semester. “It was enlightening because it gave us so much information that we can use in the fight for Zionism, and it’s so incredible to see that we are not alone in our struggles; students here have faced similar experiences,” he said. “It gives us hope that there are people who still support the Zionist cause.” To learn more about the activist training you will receive at CAMERA on Campus’ annual International Student Leadership Conference, continue reading here.
