make a boycott of Israel by government-funded institutions, including universities, a federal crime.

Created by T.D. on January 30, 2014

The American Studies Association recently voted to boycott Israel over allegations of "human rights violations" to the Palestinians.

The ASA's policy singles out Israel for criticism, ignoring the real, viable human rights violations in Syria, Sudan, Tunisia, Yemen, and elsewhere.

Moreover, the boycott supports restrictions on academic freedom - from one of the U.S.'s strongest allies.

The New York State senate enacted legislation this week to strip state funding for schools supporting the boycott.

Help us enact similar legislation nationwide. Preserve academic freedom.
