I wonder if anyone will ask Cary Nelson if he supports sanctioning businesses that boycott Israeli settlements in the West Bank - as envisioned in the pending Illinois legislation.

Hello Robert,

Israel week is starting on campus, as such, unfortunately that means "Israel Apartheid Week" is also starting this week. What does that mean? During the main part of the week there will be a large wall on the Quad that wrongfully accuses Israel of committing humanitarian crimes. Basically, some students will try to demonize the state of Israel and make students on campus uncertain about their relation to it.

As leaders of the Jewish and pro-Israel communities

on campus, we strongly object to the harsh
and misleading rhetoric of Israel Apartheid Week. We think that promoting hate against one side is counter-productive to the goal of mutual assured peace and coexistence between the Israeli and Palestinian people. Our goal is to promote a positive message at Illinois that supports the peace process. We urge you to exercise restraint by NOT engaging in any confrontations with the people organizing the Apartheid Week and the Wall.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? Good question!
