Join us April 24rd, 2013 at UC Davis Law School for a discussion on the concerted campaign to suppress students' First Amendment rights to criticize Israeli state policy. From Brooklyn College, to University of South Florida, from UC San Diego to UC Davis, students are facing legal threats and intimidation which mislabel their advocacy for Palestinian human rights as anti-Semitic. This intimidation chills speech on the Palestine-Israel question - one of the most important political debates of our time, and robs university students of robust intellectual debate essential in a democratic society. It also poses serious dangers to pro-Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students who are already at risk in an Islamophobic US political climate.
