ADL, other pro-Israel groups condemn AAUP Palestine webinar
Briefly

The Anti-Defamation League, alongside four pro-Israel organizations, criticized the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) for allegedly demonizing Israel in a webinar entitled Scholasticide in Palestine. They expressed concern over the terminology used, arguing it promotes a biased narrative disconnected from the AAUP's mission. While a group of UN experts raised questions about the potential destruction of the Palestinian education system amidst the ongoing Gaza conflict, the ADL and others pointed out the lack of evidence for intentional destruction by Israel, emphasizing the tragic impact of war rather than an intentional strategy.
