Letter to President Rhonda Lention, York U June 10, 2025

Dear President Lenton,

Please read the information below, a new study on the Network of Anti-Israel Campus Groups provided by the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism. York University needs a plan to intervene in the radicalization of your students and faculty, by both outside groups and internal staff and antisemitic organizations that operate within the university.

Clearly, the teachings that are offered by anti-Israel organizations, under the guise of "pro-Palestinian," endanger the well being of all Jews on campus and their allies.

One example of this tyranny of anti-Israel campaigners is this off-campus event that was promoted by York's CUPE 3903 labour union for contract faculty (many of whom are grad students).

See the connections below between the Palestinian Youth Movement, which is one of the organizers of this 'teach-in' (read: indoctrination/radicalization session), and the network of extremist anti-Israel groups on North American campuses and beyond, via the newly-published report by The Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism. Conclusion: radicalization is being promoted at York. See pg 6 of this report as a start.

Thanks for your attention to this.

Regards,

Andria Spindel, Executive Director, CAEF

The ISCA team analyzed the digital networks of the anti-Israel campus groups in the U.S. The findings are astonishing and shocking. They just published the first report here.
