LEGAL ACTIONS
SPECIAL REPORT
This is a moment in time when we cannot tolerate the normalization of blatant forms of antisemitic discrimination and harassment. Through the legal fight, we are setting precedent and creating new models so that universities and secondary schools realize that if they continue to allow hostile environments for Jewish, Zionist, and Israeli students, they will run the risk of public exposure and legal liability.
On the report you will find several examples of our work and successes since the tragedy of October 7.
