Throughout the past few years, the movement to Boycott, Divest from, and Sanction Israel (BDS) has become increasingly active on American college campuses, and Oberlin has become the site of highly visible BDS activism.

This has created a frighteningly hostile environment for Jewish students and alumni on all sides of the issue.
