"acknowledges that many Jewish students experience anti-Zionism as an attack on their Jewish identity, ethnicity, religion, and/or ancestry, which means these students experience anti-Zionism as antisemitism, and the College commits to protect them from such conduct that rises to the level of harassment and discrimination."
"'Zionist' is often used as a codeword for 'Jew,' and depending on the factual circumstances, may be evidence of antisemitic intent."
"invoking Holocaust imagery or symbols to harass or discriminate"
"might include the targeting of the state of Israel."
Both Pomona College and the University of California resolved antisemitism complaints last week. Pomona’s 27-page settlement recognizes that many Jewish students experience anti‑Zionism as an attack on Jewish identity and commits to protect students from conduct that rises to harassment or discrimination. The college will add training and FAQ warnings that 'Zionist' is often used as a codeword for 'Jew,' caution against invoking Holocaust imagery, provide programming on the Zionist component of Jewish identity, consider the IHRA definition in investigations, ban masked protests, and appoint a Civil Rights and/or Title VI Coordinator to address shared-ancestry discrimination.
