Bookfest: Hugh Taylor - Defending Israel on Campus
--
A talk by Hugh Taylor, publisher of Your Professors Are Lying to You About Israel
Jewish students are facing unprecedented hate and harassment onAmerican college campuses. Six out of ten Americans under 30 have amore favorable view of “Palestinians” than they do of Israel. This young anti-Israel cohort is larger than it’s ever been, and it’s growing. While it’s impossible to know the exact causes of this trend, the well organized and well-funded Arab disinformation campaign on campus is likely the leading source of this threat to Israel.This is an emergency for the Jewish people: Today’s college educated youth represent tomorrow’s leadership in all areas ofAmerican society, from government to business, law, medicine, the sciences, academia, and so forth. As anti-Israel views predominate, American support for Israel will come into jeopardy.What can we do to defend Israel on campus? Can we take action to protect our kids from vile hatred and intimidation as they seek to get educated?Yes. In this talk, Hugh Taylor will outline a practical, viable counter-propaganda program that can strengthen Jewish college students and enable them to advocate for themselves based on an under-acknowledged aspect of this crisis: The faculty is lying to everyone about Israel, and it’s past time that these liars be called out for their dishonesty.
In this talk, Taylor will discuss:
- The 5 biggest lies professors tell students about Israel and how to debunk them
- The “Red-Green” coalition that connects socialists and Islamists in a nexus of anti-Jewish hatred on campus
- The risks of not taking action now
- What you can do to support students and combat antisemitism on campus today
