There are more than 20 organizations on this campus that engage in anti-Israel activity. Among these is a strong chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which holds events like the International Campus Day of Action for Palestine and erects mock “apartheid walls.” Israel-related talks are regularly disrupted, including that of Israeli philosopher Moshe Halbertal, who was shouted down when he began to speak. In March, during an aggressive campus-wide campaign to pass a BDS resolution in the student government, Jewish and pro-Israel students said they felt unsafe and marginalized. The motion was ultimately struck down, due to efforts by pro-Israel campus groups, such as UMN Hillel and the school’s Students Supporting Israel chapter. (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
