U.S. Jews Oppose Trump’s Targeting of Colleges and Students
Description
Sam Rosenthal, Political Director and Researcher at RootsAction, reported in Accuracy.org on a statement signed by 120 prominent Jewish Americans, stating, in part “We write, specifically, as Jewish Americans who condemn the charge of antisemitism being leveled against student activists––many of whom are Jewish––for their legitimate criticisms of Israel’s violence in Gaza and their universities’ connections to the Israeli occupation. That this accusation is being used as a pretext to abrogate students’ rights to free speech, and to deport non-citizen students, should raise the highest level of alarm.” Rosenthal likens the current activities by the administration to McCarthyism in the U.S. in the 50’s, and affirms that “being critical of the actions of Israel is NOT Antisemitism”.
