Rutgers University is Fighting False Claims of Antisemitism

As the tragedy in Gaza continues, a climate of heightened political tension has emerged. Congress is attempting to quash dissent and silence legitimate criticism of the Israeli government's policies.

What has happened: Rutgers University has unjustly found itself under fire, facing baseless accusations of fostering antisemitism and supporting terrorism, simply for speaking out for the decades long plight of Palestinians living under occupation. Now, Congress is conducting an investigation against the university and its faculty under these accusations. 

We need your help to:
1. Defend the university for their support of student protests, free speech, and the defense of Palestinian human rights
2. Highlight for members of Congress the importance of academic freedom, free speech, open discourse, and recognizing inaccurate conflations of criticizing Israel's policies with antisemitism.
