CAMBRIDGE, MA (JTA) – A group of undergraduate students at Harvard University has formed what they call an “anti-Zionist Jewish organization” that supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.

The Harvard Jewish Coalition for Peace introduced itself in a public statement posted Monday on Facebook as “a new organization founded in the idea that Jewish liberation is inextricably bound up with the liberation of all people.”
The group said it will focus on Palestinian solidarity work; fighting anti-Semitism and for the safety of Jews and all people through solidarity; and creating Jewish spaces and events outside of Hillel.
“We build on a long history of Jewish anti-Zionism which teaches us that Jewish safety or liberation will never come at the expense of other people’s lives and land, and are committed to following the leadership of Palestinians in supporting the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement on and off Harvard’s campus,” the group said.
Jewish Voice for Peace, a pro-Palestinian group that backs the BDS movement, has a number of chapters on campuses across the country that push the boycott movement.
The Harvard coalition grew out of discussions about the need for an organized anti-Zionist organization following the spring 2019 Israeli Apartheid Week organized by the Palestine Solidarity Committee at the Boston-area school.
Hillel does not allow partnership with groups that support BDS or oppose Israel’s existence as a Jewish and democratic state.
“We do not claim to represent the majority of the Jewish community here at Harvard,” the statement said, “but we hope that our group can provide a space for those who resonate with this vision.”
What a bunch of SICK PUPPIES!
Another example of “so open-minded their brains fell out”. Privileged idiots who have never been out of their 20 bedroom houses. They should go and serve in the Israel Army for a year and open their eyes.

These Harvard traitors make a great coalition with the PLO and Satmar. Feh
I wonder if there is an anti Hamas, anti ISIS, or anti Al Queda run by a Palestinian student group which are critical of Palestinian rule in Gaza and West Bank? Oh I forgot…there’s no freedom of speech in those territories, A Palestinian would be hunted down and killed..remember Salman Rushdie?
did they ever, ever study the other side of things? me thinks not. universities should look at both sides.
Well now Soros will compensate them handsomely.
Just check the philosophy of the council of Judaism which is no difference or the NK
