Jewish Students From Leading US Universities Visit Israel, Receive Hasbarah "Toolkit"

The organization IsraelAmbassadors.com, founded after October 7 by pro-Israel activists to counter the wave of anti-Israeli and antisemitic rhetoric throughout the west, organized a delegation of Jewish students from leading US universities to visit Israel and receive a "toolkit" for refuting allegations made against Israel, according to reporting by Globes.

The delegation, which arrived in Israel last week, visited the Gaza Perimeter, met with massacre survivors, and heard testimony on the events of October 7 and the subsequent war. They also visited the Knesset and met with President Herzog.

The question of antisemitism on college campuses, especially in the United States, has become particularly acute since October 7, with a wave of alleged harassment and attacks against Jewish students.

A Congressional hearing on the subject lead to controversy as the Presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn Universities gave what many considered to be evasive or insincere answers, leading to the resignation of the President of Penn and continued pressure on Harvard President Claudine Gay to resign.
