(JNS.org) Several Jewish organizations wrote a letter to top California education officials to express concern regarding anti-Semitism at California state schools. The AMCHA Initiative, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, Simon Wiesenthal Center, Zionist Organization of America, and StandWithUs called attention to concerns on the “safety and well-being of Jewish students on California State University campuses,” in light of an event hosted by the San Francisco State University (SFSU) College of Ethnic Studies on March 6. The event, titled “Report and Discussion From Members of the North American-Based Academic and Labor Delegation to Palestine 2014,” featured a seven-person delegation consisting of SFSU professors Rabab Abdulhadi and Joanne Barker, along with five other academics and activists who are “leading advocates for the academic boycott of Israel.” The Jewish groups were particularly concerned about meetings the delegation has had with Palestinians who argue “for the use of armed violence against the Jewish state.”
