Susan Tuchman, Director of ZOA’s Center for Law and Justice and Mort Klein, ZOA National President, write about an antisemitic SJP event at the University of South Florida.
Last November, USF’s anti-Israel group — the so-called “Students for Justice in Palestine” (SJP) — sponsored a game show competition called “Battle of the Bulls,” modeled on the TV show “Jeopardy!” Seven other student organizations participated, and were asked to answer questions that promoted lies about Jews and Israel.

One Jewish student at the event was so troubled that she complained in a letter to the editor of theOracle. At least one other student filed a formal grievance.

SANTA CRUZ, California (Press Release) – AMCHA Initiative, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Zionist Organization of America, on Wednesday, March 26, wrote to San Francisco State University (SFSU) President Leslie Wong urging him to investigate a recent event held by SFSU Professor Rabab Abdulhadi where she and others glorified and condoned terrorism to SFSU students. AMCHA Initiative coordinated the letter after obtaining an audiotape of the March 6 event. According to eye-witness accounts, Jewish students were in tears following the meeting.

The 12-page report from the ZOA cataloged a litany of student horror stories, including intimidation, class harassment and teachers indoctrinating an alternative reality version of Middle East and Israeli history. The report focused on Professor of International Affairs Denis Sullivan, now Co-Director of Northeastern’s Middle East Center for Peace, Culture and Development, who did not respond to The Algemeiner’s requests for comment.
In a statement issued to The Algemeiner, Northeastern University said: “If any member of our community feels marginalized for any reason, the university has a range of offices and avenues where grievances can be heard and resolved. This includes a dedicated Office of Diversity and Inclusion, our extensive student affairs operation, and the university ombudsman.”

Susan B. Tuchman, the human rights lawyer who heads the ZOA’s Center for Law and Justice and prepared the report based on extensive student interviews, said the school’s statement was “just another slap to students and their concerns.”
“The Northeastern University statement says that students should complain if anyone ‘feels marginalized for any reason.’ But as the ZOA letter points out, Jewish students repeatedly complained. Their complaints were ignored, or the hostility they were subjected to was justified,” Tuchman told The Algemeiner.
