The measure denounces &#8220;injustice, genocide, and ethnic cleansing occurring in Palestine&#8221; and claims Israel is an &#8220;apartheid&#8221; state.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;We stand against the discriminatory application of the law that strips Palestinians of basic rights,&#8221; the statement reads. &#8220;We stand against the apartheid and the persecution of Palestinians, and stand for peace and the freedom of the Palestinian people from violent military occupation.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The measure comes a month and a half after Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip launched more than 4,000 rockets into Israel over an 11-day span. The resolution criticized the Israeli military&#8217;s counterstrikes, which neutralized several Hamas weapons stores and leaders. The statement did not mention Hamas&#8217;s assault.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yale&#8217;s student leaders urged peers to &#8220;recognize the connections between the [United States&#8217;] domestic racial oppression&#8221; and the &#8220;oppression&#8221; it commits by backing the Israeli military.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Just as Israel&#8217;s military enforces the apartheid system against Palestinians, the U.S. police enforces the system of white supremacy against black Americans,&#8221; according to the resolution.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale, the university\u2019s Hillel chapter, released a statement hours after the student government adopted the resoution. The Slifka Center said the council&#8217;s measure contributed to creating an unsafe environment for Jewish students.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;In May, the attention on Israel and on Jews as its perceived representatives led to open hostility on social media, vandalism of synagogues and of campus Hillels, such as Harvard&#8217;s, even physical anti-Semitic attacks, such as those in New York, L.A., and London,&#8221; the Slifka Center said. &#8220;Although much of this occurs far from Yale, the anxiety and fear is present nevertheless. [Yale College Council] has done nothing to address that anxiety, but your signing on is likely to exacerbate it.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Slifka Center declined to comment further on the Yale College Council&#8217;s move.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The resolution is the latest statement from students at U.S. universities to condemn Israel over the Hamas attacks.
