Kurwa and Ben Daniel discuss criticism of Israel and antisemitism in UC debate.
Summary
Editorial paraphrase of two passages in a 24 March 2016 article by Rahim Kurwa and Tallie Ben Daniel hosted by Jewish Voice for Peace; not a continuous quotation or a finding about any individual. The authors report objections to equating all anti-Zionism with antisemitism and distinguish criticism of Israeli policy from anti-Jewish prejudice, which they condemn. Official UC Academic Senate context (https://senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/news/source/intolerance-statement.april2016.html) explains that the amended preamble condemned antisemitic forms of anti-Zionism while protecting academic debate. Regents Policy 4403 (https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/governance/policies/4403.html) rejects discrimination, harassment, threats and violence and protects expression. Official UC records date full Board adoption to 24 March; the article's reference to yesterday is not used to date that adoption. This record verifies historical author commentary only, not that every form of anti-Zionism is free of antisemitism, that particular conduct was lawful, or that the article's other allegations about censorship, motive or discrimination are established. The current website restructuring notice does not change the historical attribution.

Kurwa and Ben Daniel discuss criticism of Israel and antisemitism in UC debate
Conflating anti‑Zionism with antisemitism is factually inaccurate and harmful to the university; criticism of the state of Israel is not inherently antisemitic.
