Hat tip Amcha Initiative
Free speech dictates that people have the right to express their opinions about things-including Israel- on university campuses as well as everywhere else. On May 4, there will be an event at the University of Massachusetts, a public university, bashing Israel and promoting the Palestinian side. What is concerning is that this event will actually carry the imprimatur of the university. That's because it is being sponsored by three academic entities.
Below is a letter to UMass signed by 80 different organizations protesting this university sponsorship.

If Mr Segal is the ADL's expert on violent religious extremism, it will be interesting to see if he even mentions Islamic anti-semitism/extremism-i.e. what is happening to Jews in Europe and at the hands of whom.
