Universities boycott israel

As a Jewish student at the University of Toronto, with antisemitic sentiment rising across Canada and the US, it has been particularly taxing, as my campus is no stranger to such controversy.

This vote is critical in determining whether or not Columbia will continue its investments with companies who do business in Israel.

Rose Ritch is the latest example of Jewish students who are being bullied for expressing their Jewish identity. University leaders must do everything they can to ensure that she’s the last.

Malak Afaneh, senior class president, claimed that Jewish students are somehow sympathetic to the conflict and violence in Yemeni Civil War.

The petition was circulated online and signed by hundreds of campus organizations and individuals, which included among other demands for abolishing US police forces.

The Jerusalem Post's piece “Tufts president slams award for pro-Palestinian club” reflects my experience as a Jewish student on campus.

The University of California, Irvine, student senate has voted to repeal a 2012 resolution calling for the university to divest from companies conducting business with Israel.

A Brown advisory committee has issued a formal recommendation that the Ivy League university divest from “any company that profits from the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.”

The 20-9 vote in favor of the resolution early Thursday morning followed a five-hour meeting of the student government on the Urbana-Champaign campus. There were seven abstentions.

Academic and political intolerance is just as much a form of abuse and intimidation as the physical violence exercised by bigoted brutes.
