The anti-Israel protests on college campuses may look local, but they are the result of a massively funded global plan to cause chaos and stir up opposition to Jewish student life. If there is anything that past protest movements have taught us, it is this: what happens on campus moves out into the rest of society.
This is why, at the beginning of August, Jewish National Fund-USA brought together 16 Jewish organizations and several students, all working in the campus arena to create a united strategic battle plan to take on our campus enemies. It was an honor for me to facilitate this two-day workshop, along with six of my colleagues from The Global Jewish Communication Alliance, which I founded after October 7.
“We know that many Jewish organizations are already active on this front,” said Russell F. Robinson, Jewish National Fund-USA’s CEO, “but there’s an imperative of Jewish collaboration now so we can begin to turn the tide.”
The group began to craft a unified plan that will link to each organization’s distribution and communication channels. It is designed to disrupt the current reality, where Jewish students find themselves in a defensive position, instead enabling them to do something proactive and positive.
Said Robinson: “Jewish National Fund-USA will show the Jewish world that these organizations are working together to change hearts and minds.”
