Hillel International has given its stamp of approval to a Harvard event that included a speaker who supports the movement to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel — arguing that, in this case, the Jewish campus group’s own ban on such events doesn’t apply.

Harvard University’s Hillel center for Jewish students co-sponsored last night’s panel discussion on the Mississippi Freedom Summer, the movement in which many Jewish volunteers joined with others to support blacks in their fight for civil rights.

The event, entitled “From Selma to Ferguson,” featured Dorothy Zellner, a Jewish civil rights veteran who is also a well-known pro-Palestinian BDS activist.

“An important conversation on faith and civil rights was coming together at Harvard, and we decided that Harvard Hillel could not be absent from the conversation,” explained Rabbi Jonah Steinberg, director of the Harvard Hillel.

Zellner wasted little time underlining her support for the Palestinian cause, which she portrayed as a direct result of her Jewish commitment to social justice.

“I am a supporter of BDS. I’m doing the work that I learned from black people and I will keep on doing that work,” she told the crowd of about 50 people, most of them students.
.....
Both Steinberg and David Eden, chief administrative officer for Hillel International, emphatically denied that their endorsement of the event contradicts Hillel International’s policy, which has been the subject of nationwide dispute and has spurred several Hillel chapters to publicly break from the parent organization.

Eden suggested that there was no conflict because the panel was not primarily focused on Israel, even though the guidelines make no such distinction.

"I’m doing the work that I learned from black people"

Haha. Actually, its the other way around: you taught this shit to black people and contributed to their social decay (e.g. black family)
