The "Anti-Semitism/Anti-Israel" Phenomenon: What Do Israeli Campus Professionals Think?
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Irwin J. Mansdorf - Jewish campus professionals are uniquely positioned to assess the nature and extent of anti-Israel activity and anti-Semitic sentiment on campus. The data suggest that while specific campuses may represent centers of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activity, the broad generalization of "the campus" as a problem for Jewish students may be inaccurate. Contrary to sentiment in the general Jewish American community, the assessment of campus professionals is that liberal and progressive groups represent the greater source of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiment on campuses.
