Noura Erakat to Speak at UCLA

I am cross-posting an article in the Jewish Journal (Los Angeles) by my friend and colleague, Tammi Rossman-Benjamin. Tammi is a retired professor of Hebrew at the University of California at Santa Cruz and co-founder of the Amcha Initiative, an organization devoted to combating campus anti-Semitism. I have previously posted many of Tammi's articles on this site. This article illustrates how university faculty has been part of the problem of anti-Semitism on our campuses.

In this article, Tammi informs us that Rutgers professor Noura Erakat is coming to speak at UCLA on the subject of Israel and the Palestinians. She is a fierce critic of Israel, and her vitriol over the years has led to numerous accusations of anti-Semitism. She has also previously been featured on this site over the years.

Rutgers is one of the worst schools in the country when it comes to anti-Semitism, and in my view, Erakat has contributed to that climate.
