ZOA CAMPUS Watch (PMW), which monitors Palestinian Authority (PA)- and Hamas-run news outlets, and social and other media, such as TV, radio, and film. Students watched in disbelief as Mr. Marcus showed them clip after clip of PA- and Fatahsponsored children’s TV shows that openly spew hateful incitement against Jews and indoctrinate youth against the people and state of Israel. The Jewish struggle for independence and survival was another common theme throughout the trip. Students visited the Palmach Museum and understood what it was like for young men and women—many of whom were Holocaust survivors, no older than the students themselves— to step out of concentration camps and onto the battlefield in Palestine. In Gush Etzion, ZOA campus coordinators and student participants stood together to honor the brave men and women who held down Jerusalem’s last line of defense, only to be massacred by the Jordanian legion hours before the declaration of the independence of the State of Israel. In Dalyat El-Carmel, participants dined at the home of a local Israeli Druze family and learned about the Druze religion, customs, 28 ZOA’s Jonathan Ginsburg (right) and students with MK Sharren Haskel after her talk on Zionism and feminism at Harvard Hillel culture, and social status of this non-Jewish, but Zionist, minority in Israel. We thank the MZ Foundation and the Falic family for their generous support of our Student Leadership Mission to Israel, which helps build informed, strong and effective advocates for Israel. ZOA CAMPUS SUMMER INTERNSHIP ZOA’s Campus Summer Internship is an eightweek program that we host at both our national office in New York and our office in Southern California. Heather Alper—a former intern, ZOA Fellow, and Israel trip alumna—managed four interns in New York City, with the assistance of Elliot Frumkin, another former intern and Israel trip alumus. Leore Ben-David managed two interns in Los Angeles. Interns researched, monitored, and reported on anti-Semitism and anti-Zionist activities on campus and on social media. Additionally, students were exposed to the ZOA’s day-to-day operations, so that they could get a sense of the Israel advocacy field, both on campus and within our organization.
