University-Sponsored Speaking Tour of Ilan Pappe on 3 CSU Campuses

University-Sponsored Speaking Tour of Ilan Pappe on 3 CSU Campuses

 
Incident: Prof. Ilan Pappe, an anti-Israel professor who has publicly called for the elimination of Israel was flown from London to speak on several CSU campuses in February 2012.  This speaking tour was organized and promoted by CSU administrators and faculty members and used university resources to do so.

AMCHA’s Response: We wrote to the president of the CSU system as well as the presidents of the individual campuses where Pappe spoke, alerting them of Pappe’s animus towards the Jewish state, as well as the animus of the administrators and faculty members that organized the tour.  We also produced a video explaining our concerns.  See here.
