New York, NY – Combating growing attacks on Israel's legitimacy on college campuses requires breaking the cycle of rallies and protests in favor of targeting outreach to campus influentials, according to a new white paper released today by pro-Israel campus organization, The David Project. The white paper, A Burning Campus? Rethinking Israel Advocacy at America's Universities and Colleges lays out a new strategy for Israel advocacy rooted in relationships with key campus stakeholders and organizations, both Jewish and non-Jewish.

The white paper finds that, "campus activism by Israel supporters is generally not strategic," and that campuses are predisposed toward "radical political views." This allows "anti-Israelists," those who believe Israel is an illegitimate state, to be increasingly successful in their efforts both in influencing the thinking of future generations of Americans and in using the campus as a venue to disseminate anti-Israelism into the wider culture.
