Op-Ed: BDS Is Not The Answer

Just this month, the student government at a campus in my home state of Indiana, Indianapolis University, voted to divest from Israel.

Op-Ed: The Truth from the U.S.

This article was originally published in Forward. American Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro recently charged that Israel employs a doublelegal standard in the West Bank: one for Israelis and another for Palestinians.
