Winners of Campus Media Contest to Counter Rising Antisemitism at Colleges and Universities Announced

The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and CAMERA on Campus are proud to announce the winners of a campus media contest geared toward promoting the publication of op-eds countering the growing pervasiveness of antisemitic and anti-Israel narratives at colleges and universities worldwide.

The contest was launched this past fall with the “Exposing the Threat” online webinar, which featured a student panel discussion and a “Shark Tank”-style workshop led by Times of Israel Founding Editor David Horovitz.

Contest entries were reviewed by a selection committee, with participants receiving feedback before the articles were sent for publication.

The winning students and entries are:

– Sabrina Soffer (George Washington University): South Africa’s Chief Rabbi Eradicates the Myth, ‘Israel’s an Apartheid State’; GW Must Take Steps to Combat Antisemitism on Campus; Semites Are Here to Stay

– Alexandra Orbuch (Princeton University): Antisemitism: Back in Vogue?

– Saul Levene (King’s College London): PLO Ambassador Husam Zomlot Spreads Misinformation at Student Society Event
