University of Michigan Administration Caves to Zionist Pressure, Students Fight Back

"Zionism is a nationalist, settler colonial project which does not represent Judaism, but rather uses Judaism as a mask and the existence of antisemitism as a source of legitimation for its apartheid policies. Jews across the U.S. and in Israel have spoken out against the occupation of Gaza, calling for a ceasefire and the end of US military aid for Israel. The referendum to call for an assessment of the university’s investments in the State of Israel does not constitute a radical demand or even a binding obligation on the University. It’s call to recognize that Palestinians are suffering from Israel’s assault on Gaza is far from antisemitic.

Rather than combating actual antisemitism, the Zionist coalition fighting the student resolution has exposed its real concerns: protecting financial investments in Israel and insulating the Zionist regime from any critique. It is particularly important for Zionists to maintain this airtight barrier against criticism: without the assertion that anti-Zionism is antisemitism, it opens up space for clear-eyed assessment of the State of Israel’s actions towards Palestine. No sober evaluation of the University of Michigan’s investments can conclude that funding apartheid and genocidal policies meets any kind of “ethical standards.”
