Its mission statement says they're only possible if Israel's occupation ends, its Separation Wall is dismantled, Israeli Arabs have equal rights as Jews, and Palestinian refugees are assured their legal right of return.
PSC "encourage(s) people of all backgrounds to join the Palestinian struggle and show their solidarity with the Palestinian people."
It headlined " The Crimson's Anti-Palestinian Bias ." Four Harvard students contributed: Lena Awwad, Giacomo Bagarella, Asmaa Rimawi and Hannah Schafer.
Shafer's a rabbi's daughter. She's "deeply offended that the Crimson keeps publishing pieces that label our PSC activism on campus as anti-Semitic."
She calls doing so "defamatory." Crimson editors "should be ashamed of themselves," she says.
PCS challenges Crimson editorial policy. It silences Palestinian voices. Palestinian students and supporters "feel alienated."
Examples below highlight the issue.
In March 2012, PSC organized a Harvard Kennedy School One State Conference. Harvard's Office of the Provost, the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, and Carr Center for Human Rights co-sponsored it.
Half the conference's organizers and speakers were Jewish. Crimson editors called its agenda "deeply wrong." They pre-judged it. They did so before the conference began.
