We have seen a disturbing trend of compelled support and viewpoint discrimination on college campuses at the hands of groups like the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel (BDS). They take advantage of the campus environment-- an environment of impressionable young minds which are ripe for protests, activism, and the far-left agenda—And yet there seems to be a fear around discussing anti-Semitism in the public forum. Once again, our speech is being chilled and our thoughts are being manipulated because of the left’s ability to pressure society into categorizing anti-Semitic sentiment as a ‘political viewpoint’ via the cloak of anti-Israel and anti-Zionism. The world has a long history of this, and some very recent memories in fact; yet the parallels are ignored due to the one thing that has always allowed despots to prevail—complacency. A form of denial and inaction we are all too familiar with. Join Cherise Trump with Speech First and Erielle Davidson, Senior Policy Analyst at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, (JINSA), as they answer the question: what makes college campuses and the far left movement as a whole, ripe for anti-Semitic sentiment?
