Silencing supporters of Israel does not further the Palestinian cause
The recent controversy surrounding DSG’s decision to revoke the charter of Students Supporting Israel (SSI) has demonstrated our inability as a student body to support productive dialogue and education on Israel and Palestine. For those of you who have not been keeping up with the commotion, SSI, a pro-Israel international organization, recently assembled on campus with the mission of promoting Israel and providing educational and open discussion opportunities. Unfortunately, SSI’s missteps and the reaction from Pro-Palestinian groups have led to DSG revoking the charter.
