An advocacy group is hiring students as on-campus promoters of
Israel. StandWithUs is offering up to $1,000 a year this semester to
38 Emerson fellows, Jewish student leaders at key colleges and
universities targeted by the organization. Their duties will include
bringing in speakers and films that show Israel in a positive light.
Officials from StandWithUs told reporters that they gave particular
consideration to applicants from "problem campuses" such as Columbia,
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of
Michigan, which the organization identifies as hotbeds of anti-Israel
sentiment. More than 100 students applied for the fellowships, funded
by California-based philanthropists Rita and Steven Emerson.
StandWithUs is an international pro-Israel education organization
founded in 2001.
