Three weeks ago we launched a campaign against the epidemic of Jew-hatred on American college campuses by publishing a list of 10 Campuses with the Worst Anti-Semitic Activity. Subsequently we sent letters to their administrations calling on them to remove the campus privileges and university funding for Students For Justice In Palestine, a terrorist supporting organization that is behind most of the anti-Semitic outrages to date.
 
Each one of these universities has a diversity code that is supposed to enforce a discipline of civility on their campuses. And it regularly does so in the case of all minorities on campus except Jews. Where Jews are concerned only media attention to the incidents and public embarrassment of university officials has prompted any action to remedy the problem.
 
So far we have received two responses to our letters. These came from President Skorton of Cornell and Chancellor Glock of UCLA. Both responses evade the issue of SJP’s key role in inciting hatred of Israel and its Jews. Instead President Skorton and Chancellor Block seek to obscure their complicity in SJP’s activities by ignoring its role and addressing particular incidents of anti-Semitism as though they were the work of isolated individuals and not reflections of an organized effort to demonize the Jewish state. In this way they claim to have dealt with the problem by getting the individuals to apologize while the campus campaign against Jews through Israeli Apartheid Weeks and other obscenities continues.
 
But it is clear that no significant progress will be made toward ending the episodes of Jew hatred on these campuses until administrators like Skorton and Block are ready to satisfactorily address this question we put to them in our letters: “Why is SJP, a group that systematically violates the policies of your university, makes campus life miserable for Jewish students, and spreads lies about the Jewish state - lies designed to help its terrorist enemies destroy it, supported by your office and by university funds?”
 
While we await an answer, we will be actively directing the attention of college communities to these issues through a series of Teach-ins on college campuses. These Teach-Ins which will take place under the heading “Jew Hatred On Campus Awareness Week” will include speeches by David Horowitz, Ben Shapiro, Daniel Pipes and Nonie Darwish, screenings of the film Crossing the Line 2 and panels to follow them, and a poster campaign identifying Students for Justice in Palestine as a hate group.  
 
Information about how to hold a teach-in on your campus can be found in our Student Guide.
