James Boyle talks to Ahan Sikri of Students for Justice in Palestine about the controversial reading of P is for Palestine at the Highland Park Library, which was met by 100s of protestors, some pro-Israel, others pro-Palestine. The conversation also revolved around a resolution that the Highland Park council is expected to pass next week that explicitly condemns the BDS movement and any critiques of Israel. Similar action is occurring at the state level in New Jersey, leaving many wondering how the BDS movement will move forward--and how far Israel will go to silence dissent to its increasingly violent apartheid policies. Sikri also discussed the legal backlash SJP has faced on-campus at Rutgers, including a re-opened investigation by the Department of Education into accusations that the university has fostered a climate of antisemitism.
