A delegation of American and Canadian college students visiting Israel with Hasbara Fellowships participated in an educational seminar in Tel Aviv on Thursday hosted by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
The students, representing 32 North American institutions, were briefed by CAM Chief Operating Officer Yigal Nisell on current global antisemitism trends and data, as well as CAM’s latest projects and programs to counter rising Jew-hatred in the October 7th aftermath, with a particular focus on the campus front.
“This is the fourth Hasbara Fellowships group we’ve welcomed,” Nisell said. “Many students have told us that, even with all the organizations that are active, they still don’t have the tools to fight antisemitism on their campuses. So this is what we are providing them, including our new F.A.C.E. Action Plan, which we encourage them to bring home as CAM Fellows and initiate at their schools.”
“Beyond tools, we are further offering them a platform to interact with leading decisionmakers at CAM events and summits across North America,” Nisell added.
Thursday’s seminar also included presentations by Luai Ahmed, a Yemen-born social media influencer now a refugee based in Sweden, who shared his personal story and offered insights on the fight against online antisemitism, and CAM adviser Revital Yakin Krakovsky, a communications expert who outlined strategies to counter narratives propagated by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
