“It is important to note, really, from coast to coast, we are hearing stories of students on college campuses, in the name of BDS, being targeted with blatant anti-Semitism. For example, at New York University, after the student government passed a resolution supporting BDS, the Bronfman Center for Jewish Life was temporarily closed in response to threatening Twitter posts by a student who expressed ``a desire for Zionists to die.'' A University of Michigan professor refused to write a letter of recommendation for a qualified student solely because she wanted to study abroad in Israel. A Students for Justice in Palestine cofounder and University of California, Berkeley, professor spoke at a national conference and shared the anti-Semitism meme of an Orthodox Jewish person in his presentation. At Warren Wilson College, an invited speaker stated: ``Jews are doing the same thing to the Palestinians as the Nazis did to the Jews.'' A Yik Yak posting at the University of California read: ``Gas them, burn them, and dismantle their power structure. Humanity cannot progress with the parasitic Jew.'' More globally, University of Durban in South Africa called for the expulsion of Jewish students who did not support the BDS movement at the university.…”
