Washington: Tammi Rossman-Benjamin baselessly asserts in her Op-Ed “Anti-Semitism, academic freedom and Brooklyn College” (Nov. 14) that I support “anti-Semitic” policies, “condone terrorism” and “advocate the elimination of the Jewish state” in my effort to change U.S. policy toward Israel and the Palestinians to support human rights, international law and equality. Yet she marshals not one iota of evidence to substantiate these allegations. Her spurious claims not only are meant to discredit me and the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation (which I serve as the national advocacy director) but to pressure university administrators to crack down on Students for Justice in Palestine chapters to try to prevent them from organizing on campus to expose Israeli apartheid and advocate for Palestinian rights.
