Escalating Campus Repression Against Palestine Activists

As the annual Israeli Apartheid Week (www.apartheidweek.org) approaches we
are seeing a shocking increase in attempts by pro-Israel administrations, who
are working closely with pro-Israel organizations to ban IAW activities,
place bureaucratic obstacles in front of organizers, and prevent honest
debate on Israeli Apartheid.

These attempts confirm that supporters of Israeli Apartheid refuse to openly
defend the issues at stake, and instead attempt to shut-down free speech and
anti-apartheid organizing on campuses. These are the desperate actions of a
small minority who continue to support racism and apartheid.

CAIA urges all supporters to read and forward the following articles
documenting this campaign of repression. Further action updates will be
available soon.
