A brand new Metropolis College of New York group is pledging to have Jews “unlearn Zionism” and to help the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions motion in opposition to Israel.
The “Anti-Zionist Jewish Coalition at CUNY” lately started circulating a pledge with its objectives, garnering 36 signatures from college students, school and alum.
The doc notes that a dozen CUNY honchos lately traveled to the “illegitimate state of Israel” calling that “an act of final betrayal in the direction of Palestinian college students, employees, and their allies.”
The group’s launch, which was first reported by the Ahead, got here simply days after the Metropolis Council final month heard testimony from CUNY college students and staffers about rampant anti-Semitism on the public college’s campuses.
CUNY Chancellor Felix Matos Rodriguez was blasted for failing to attend the June 30 listening to, the place one Legislation College pupil mentioned she transferred as a result of she was demonized by different college students over her Jewish religion and Zionist beliefs.
“I'm deeply troubled by the continued assaults in opposition to Zionists and Jewish college students,” Bronx Councilman Eric Dinowitz, chairman of the upper training committee and head of the Council’s Jewish Caucus, mentioned of the coalition.
A CUNY rep mentioned the college is “dwelling to many membership organizations that signify college students, school, and workers. These teams communicate for themselves, and the opinions they categorical are fully theirs, and don't signify the views of CUNY or the overwhelming majority of the almost 300,000 members of our group.”
