The Union of Jewish Students and the Board of Deputies have launched a joint project intended “to help Jewish students to combat the BDS movement on campus”.
“Bridges not Boycotts” will provide students with links to resources helping them to oppose BDS. Over 2,000 resource cards will be sent out in UJS starter packs for new students, with a social media campaign due to launch alongside it.
The campaign will emphasise peace and mutual respect, swapping talk of boycotts with that of reconciliation.
Marie Van der Zyl, Board of Deputies vice president, said: “The campaign resource will provide information from our community’s leading experts on understanding the BDS movement, tactics to combat it, and how to build bridges across communities.
