I was made aware of the SJP event, “Judith Butler & Omar Barghouti – BDS Movement for Palestinian Rights,” in early January. I was appalled that Brooklyn College’s Political Science Department was co-sponsoring the event, because I did not feel that a publicly funded academic institution should endorse such hateful and anti-Semitic views. However, since, I was away in England at the time, Kohanteb, me and the rest of the members of the Israel Clubs had agreed to keep this quiet, and address the matter directly with the Political Science department and the Brooklyn College administration when we returned from vacation.

Acclimated to our new surroundings, we hit the ground running, starting the day with a strategic tour of Jerusalem. We visited various locations, deciphering how the city’s borders have changed from 1948 to 1967 to today. The stories of bravery and sacrifice from soldiers and civilians alike recounted by our tour guide, Jonty Blackman, were inspiring. In particular, the town of Giloh, which overlooks Bethlehem, was established to protect the more populated areas of Jerusalem and is today a thriving and vibrant community integrated into the city.
Following our tour, we heard some inspiring words regarding pro-Israel activism on campus and also explored the root causes of anti-Semitism. By understanding the origins of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism we can better combat these occurrences on our campuses. I and the other fellows are excited for the next two weeks and will surely return to campus better equipped to advocate for Israel.
