We support the ZOA’s letter to the CUNY Chancellor and Board of Trustees: Jewish Students are Entitled to a Safe, Respectful & Nondiscriminatory Learning Environment
To CUNY Chancellor James Milliken and Members of the CUNY Board of Trustees:
We support the Zionist Organization of America’s letter to you and urge you to take the steps that the ZOA has recommended:
(1) Publicly condemn the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group for its hateful, divisive, violence-inciting, and anti-Semitic actions;
(2) Investigate the SJP for violations of CUNY rules and policies, and if the evidence shows that rules and policies have been violated, revoke the SJP’s registered status;
(3) Mandate that the SJP complete training on anti-Semitism in all its manifestations today;
(4) Investigate the SJP’s funding sources, to confirm that all funds are being lawfully obtained; and
(5) Publicly call for zero tolerance for anti-Semitism at CUNY, and educate the CUNY community about the many forms that anti-Semitism takes today, including anti-Israelism and anti-Zionism that cross the line into anti-Semitism, according to the definition used by the U.S. State Department.
Jewish and pro-Israel students – like all students – are entitled to a safe, respectful and nondiscriminatory learning environment. The SJP does not deserve a place on any CUNY campus until it can demonstrate that it will respect and abide by the rules and standards that apply to everyone else.

I am third generation graduate of Hunter College. My father was a graduate of City College. We are proud Jewish graduates of the CUNY system, which has educated many prominent Jews, including Nobel Laureates. I will not give a penny more to the alumni association until the administration stands up to this anti-semitism.
Cuny, going back several decades was a significant institute of higher learning. Many great individuals who graduated have become the main stays of American Society and MANY were Jewish. This institution should not become a center of anti semitism cloaked in anti Israel bashing
When campuses all over this country protect all their students, except Jews and allow this racist group (sjp) on their campuses to harass us, it's painfully apparent that the administrations are also anti-Semitic.
I. a beneficiary of the CUNY system (Queens College 1965), am horrified by the pervasive, seemingly condoned, anti-Israel sentiment & bullying at our wonderful CUNY institutions of higher learning. Administration must allow & encourage civil discourse, but not the invectives of those who purport to support a Palestinian state, but who instead seek to demonize Israel & her supporters.
If you have any integrity you will see the hypocrisy behind BDS. How could a Public University give into such blatantly biased tactics.
What has happened there is disgusting. I2 years ago in this country, these people would have executed for displaying Nazi like behaviors. Arrest them all and send them to live with the Taliban. God's word says, " I will bless those who bless Is real, and I will curse those who curse Israel!" Bring the curse on almighty God!
Thank you for your efforts. Please provide the same letter for DOHMH.

Something needs to be done about the SJP!! This hateful group is becoming ever more aggressive on campuses across this city. Soon SJP will start to use physical violence. This group has shown itself to be very capable of being violent. Will it take Jewish students to be physically attacked before CUNY acts?
