Description

Agitators associated with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and other anti-Israel organizations have since mid-April turned colleges and universities into no-go zones for Jews and supporters of Israel. They have engaged in physical attacks, unlawful confinement, and other acts of harassment. What is the likely impact of these disturbances on American higher education, on public opinion, on the Democratic party, and U.S. foreign policy? Has SJP gone too far? How best can the chaos be brought to an end?

Dexter Van Zile, MEF's Violin Family Research Fellow, is managing editor of Focus on Western Islamism (FWI). He previously worked at the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA), where he dealt primarily with Christian journalism concerning Israel. Mr. Van Zile’s writings have appeared in the Boston Globe, Jerusalem Post, and elsewhere. He holds a BA from the University of Puget Sound and an MA from Western Washington University. He recently has made repeated visits to Boston-area campuses.
