CAEF Letter on March 27th to President, Provost, VP and Dean of Princeton U demanding they cancel a scheduled antisemitic conference

Dear President Eisgruber, Provost Rexford and VP Callow-Wright and Dean Jarrett;

AntiZionism IS Antisemitism. It is not a debatable point. AntiZionism is the denial of the Jewish people's history, legal and moral rights. There Is no Judaism without Zionism. The Torah, our holy scripture, refers to Zion, and the Jews have lived in and honoured the land of Zion for thousands of years. To suddenly decide that people other than Jews can reframe Zionism is perverse and unacceptable.

Over 90% of North American Jews identify with Israel, so part of denying Zionism is denying the Jewish identity. That is insulting, ignorant and antisemitic.

A conference on AntiZionism is intended to mislead and mis-educate people,  with an ultimate goal of eradicating the nation of Israel. This event promotes antisemitism under the guise, the total pretense, of academic inquiry. It violates Title VI protections in the US. It insults every Jew who knows Jewish history and gives it the cover of including antiZionist Jews, but this does not diminish the hypocrisy of the event and the damage it willfully promote.

Princeton University must cancel this event, censure those who are using your good name to promote Jew hatred. Princeton must return to a moral standard and observe federal law that requires you stand up to antisemitism!

Say NO to antisemitism that is masquerading as antiZionism, but is as lethal and abhorrent as the Nazi ideology that it mimics.

Regards,
