EXCERPT
On November, 25, 2024, the office building of the Rutgers academic unions (representing tenured, contingent, and graduate student educators) was defaced with pro-Israel posters. “Fight Jew-hatred. Before it’s too late,” said one. “STAND UP FOR THE JEWISH STATE,” demanded another.
As Jewish educators at Rutgers we categorically reject the slanderous insinuation that our unions–led by Jewish presidents and vice presidents–are blind to or bastions of antisemitism. At the same time, we affirm our opposition to all ethnosupremacist states–including the apartheid Israeli state.
The front door of the Rutgers academic union office building defaced with a pro-Israel poster that says, “STAND UP FOR THE JEWISH STATE.”
The defacement immediately preceded the unions’ membership vote on a groundbreaking “Joint Resolution on Divestment from Genocide in Palestine,” which, we are proud to say, passed by more than 20-point margins in both unions on Friday, December 13.
