A pro-Israel organization is urging the University ofto condemn a pro-Palestinian student group who is calling on students to boycott"sh--ty Zionist classes."
"When SJP explicitly instructs students to boycott"Zionist" classes and professors, and then lists classes about Israel and that are taught by Israeli or Jewish professors, it appears as though they are encouraging their followers to boycott University of Chicago faculty members because of their Jewish or Israeli identities," the letter states.
According to the group, students attending classes discussing Israel or that are taught by Israeli fellows are"participating in a propaganda campaign that creates complicity in the continuation of Israel's occupation of Palestine." "However, it would also be hateful and warrant moral clarity by your administration in a statement of condemnation. This same principle—and need—apply here," the letter states.
