A recent report released by Im Tirtzu revealed the extensive involvement of Israelis in “Israeli Apartheid Week,” an annual series of virulently anti-Israel events that recently took place in over 150 campuses and cities worldwide.
The report detailed the unholy connection of Israeli academics, artists, and organizations to the BDS movement and its call to eliminate the State of Israel.
Following the video that emerged of an IDF soldier killing a terrorist in Hebron, we have witnessed a wave of condemnations and criticisms from those who have taken it upon themselves to act as judge, jury, and executioner in place of the military investigation.
IDF soldiers put their lives on the line in order to protect us and they deserve our support before we start jumping to conclusions based on “evidence” provided by an organization that regularly defames the IDF.
Im Tirtzu supports and stands behind our soldiers!
IMTI student activists continued to organize activities and lectures on campuses throughout the country. Last week Hebrew U, Bar-Ilan, and Haifa U/Technion each hosted their first lecture of the Program for Zionist Thought, followed this week by Tel-Aviv U with a special lecture from Caroline Glick!
Award for Human Rights
This past week we presented Sarah Zoabi, an Israeli Muslim Zionist, with an award in recognition of her work to integrate minorities into the IDF and Israeli society and for her advocacy on behalf of Israel.
She was invited to give the first lecture of Im Tirtzu’s Program for Zionist Thought at Hebrew University, where she spoke about the integration of minorities within Israeli society and Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.
At the conclusion of the lecture, she was presented with an award by Im Tirtzu’s Hebrew University branch coordinator.
