“Our Israel activists are more emboldened and outspoken than ever. People understand they are on the right side of history and the truth. They will not be intimidated,” said Aviva Rosenschein, international campus director for CAMERA, which recently hosted students from over 80 universities to respond to the upsurge in campus anti-Semitism and anti-Israel activism.

Media monitoring organization CAMERA says the paper is still failing to convey that the Palestinians “are more than just victims.”

“[It] is deeply troubling—not only for its shocking omission of any mention of Jewish Americans or anti-Semitism or its blatant anti-Israel bias and praise of BDS, but for its clear attempt to politically indoctrinate students to adopt the view that Israel and its Jewish supporters are part of ‘interlocking systems of oppression and privilege’ that must be fought with ‘direct action’ and ‘resistance,’ ” said Tammi Rossman-Benjamin, head of the AMCHA Initiative.

A four-day event in Boston aims to teach students how to push back against anti-Semitic and anti-Israel forces on campus.

That the trailer suggests an equivalence between the killing of three Israeli teenagers and a Palestinian boy is serious cause for concern; “in contrast to the blanket condemnation of the Palestinian boy’s murder, murders of Israeli Jews are encouraged and incentivized by Hamas,” said CAMERA film reviewer Ricki Hollander.

“The ongoing decades-old long demonization and dehumanization of the Jewish state has been misunderstood as political criticism when in truth, it has been the new virulent form of anti-Semitism,” said Dan Diker, a fellow and senior project director at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

Pro-Israel media watchdog CAMERA honors Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer and UCLA computer scientist Judea Pearl at its annual gala event.

The U.S. nonprofit CAMERA awarded Israel’s ambassador to the United States its Emet Award for “speaking truthfully about Israel in the public square.”

Computer-science pioneer and father of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl says his life experience and the rise of “Zionophobic” racism in academia made it “necessary” for him to take a stand when NYU awarded a prize to anti-Israel group Students for Justice in Palestine.

According to media watchdog organization, the newspaper needs to go beyond apologies and focus on transparency, impartiality, balance, accountability and accuracy.

“Free speech is appropriate, but calls for violent intifada aren’t OK, and they can’t be the only voices heard,” said Aliyah Jacobson, who heads the CAMERA on Campus-supported group Bulldogs for Israel at Brooklyn College.

“One meaning is, obviously, to remind staff that Hamas is violent—violent against both Israel and its own people,” explains executive director of CAMERA Andrea Levin.
