Antizionist Strategies: New Directions
Anti-Israel demonstrations on elite campuses have captured most of the public attention since October 7. But arguably the more important strategic antizionist work happens in spaces that rarely draw media attention. What are the key forward-looking items on antizionist groups' agendas?
