Jewish Students for Justice for Palestinians

Jewish Students for Justice for Palestinians is a recently formed network of students who are holding their first meeting this Thursday at QMUL Students' Union
Jewish Students for Justice for Palestinians is a recently formed network for students who oppose Israeli policies that undermine the livelihoods, human, civil and political rights of the Palestinian people.
As a section of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, we do not have an official line on issues beyond general support for the principles above and support for the right of Israelis to live in freedom and security within Israel's 1967 borders. We see ourselves as a network and a forum in which people can find their own level of participation and engage in activities which they find most relevant.
We believe the plurality of views of Jewish students should be represented to the wider student and political movements and vehemently counter the often-used claim that opposition to Israel's destructive policies is in itself anti-semitic.
We welcome students from across the political and religious spectra, including those with no political background or who have not previously felt engaged by on-campus Jewish activities.
We will be holding our first networking meeting at 2pm this Thursday (12th) at Queen Mary Students Union. For more information or to join the contact list please email

Usually at Indymedia if you just mention the words Jew or Israel in a remotely positive light, you are bombarded with a torrent of racist bile, intolerance and ignorance.
In this case nothing... I wonder why.
How refreshing it would have been to see just one regular contributor praising the efforts of these Jewish students.
Oh, and by the way; when was the last time you saw
mention of 'Palestinian Students for Justice for Israelis'?
Just a thought.
