Are US campus protests antisemitic? Jewish students weigh in | Panel

We asked Jewish students at US universities what they think about pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Our panel responds

I was in California for Passover when the encampment first came up. I was excited because I want to see an end to what Human Rights Watch calls a system of apartheid, which refers to the fact that there are over 65 laws discriminating against Palestinian citizens of Israel, roads in the West Bank are segregated, Israelis have civil law while Palestinians have military law, water allotment is unequal and so much more.
