Pro-Israel group urges University of Chicago to condemn group calling for boycott of 'sh--ty Zionist classes'

A pro-Israel organization is urging the University of Chicago to condemn a pro-Palestine student group who is calling on students to boycott “sh--ty Zionist classes.”

The organization states in the letter that while the Students for Justice in Palestine Instagram post "does not rise to a level of impermissible speech," they are "antithetical to a robust campus climate."

"When SJP explicitly instructs students to boycott "Zionist" classes and professors, and then lists classes about Israel and that are taught by Israeli or Jewish professors, it appears as though they are encouraging their followers to boycott University of Chicago faculty members because of their Jewish or Israeli identities," the letter states.
