An interview with Bob Rosen of the Indepenent Jewish Voices on the attacks on the Social Justice Centre at UBC
A discussion on the mindset behind the attacks on the SJC.
Bob Rosen, a member of the Independent Jewish Voices, speaks on the attacks that the Social Justice Centre (SJC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) came under after their attempt to transfer funds to a campus club called Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR), which in turn was planning on donating the money to the Canadian Boat to Gaza.
He has recently written about the issue of the conflation of anti-semitism and criticism of the state of Israel in an article called "Is it anti-Semitic to criticize Israel?" that was published in the Nov. 2010 issue of the Newsmagazine of the BC Teachers’ Federation, and spoke on the same issue in the context of the recent events at UBC, not necessarily at all times representing the views held by all members of the organization Independent Jewish Voices.
