Responding to Anti-Israel Campaigns on College and University Campuses |
Building and Effective Response Strategy
Some Long-Term Considerations
Updated: January 20, 2009
- Find common ground with other student groups on campus and work to build personal relationships with their membership. These may include college Democrats and Republicans, African American, Asian American, LGBT and Latina/o student groups. Often, when Jewish groups publicly support issues of concern to other groups, those groups will, in turn, support Jewish issues (or at least remain neutral.)
- Encourage pro-Israel students to be active in key areas of student life such as student government, public affairs forums, campus newspapers and other media.
- Demonstrating vocal support for Israel should not fall on too few shoulders. Get many involved and pay attention to the developing leadership who can continue the effort when their older colleagues leave the campus.
- Encourage Jewish and non-Jewish students to travel to Israel to gain a first hand perspective. Once they return, encourage them to share their experiences with their peers.
