The Effects of Israel - Hamas War on Academia in Europe and North America
Monday, March 18, 19:00 Central European Time
October 7, 2023, attacks of Hamas on Israel created chaos in academic institutions around the world. The management of leading universities face daily challenges wellbeing of students, disturbances on campuses, and intervention of politics in academic research. Many leading universities are taking measures to allow all students to feel secure and supported while pursuing their academic journeys. However, this is not the case in all universities.
We invite you to our online event to discuss the situation on campuses in Europe and North America ways we can support the students and academic professionals and how together we can combat antisemitism.
The Zoom link for the event will be sent before the event after registration.

Nina will talk about the situation in Jewish Universities and what is the best way for us to expose and explain the situation in Israel to different kinds of students (from different religions).
Also, Nina will share about her childhood friend Noa Argamani and her partner Avinatan Or who are held hostage by Hamas, how we use the social media platform to tell her story, and why we feel that Noa is one of Hamas’ bargaining chips.
