Activists: Contact PSLS for Free Legal Support

July 25, 2014/ Angela Campion

Israel’s attacks on Palestinians continue as Israel indiscriminately targets schools, hospitals, homes and other civilian infrastructure in Gaza. As of today, over 800 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s latest assault, and nearly 5,000 have been wounded, the vast majority civilians. Despite the rising death toll, US policymakers continue to defend and justify Israel’s serious violations of international law.

July 18, 2014/ Angela Campion

Concerns about the influence of the pro-Israel lobby on the University of California (UC) campuses have triggered another round of false accusations claiming that campus Palestine activists are engaged in “harassment” and “anti-Semitism.” Such accusations of anti-Semitism are the default for Israel supporters who aim to shield Israel from growing discontent with its ruthless and racist policies against Palestinians.

For the past few months we have been waiting to see if Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver would take any action to move the bill he introduced that was aimed at silencing those on campus critical of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and most especially campus organizations that have taken up the academic boycott of Israel.
