A Jewish student at Tufts University is alleging anti-Semitic harassment over his involvement with pro-Israel groups.
Jewish Insider and Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported that the student, Max Price, currently serves on the Tufts Community Union Judiciary (TCUJ), which reviews referendums from the student government. During the fall of 2020, Price had concluded that a Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)-sponsored referendum condemning the university for participating in whatâs been dubbed as the âDeadly Exchange Campaignâ security program with Israel was riddled with factual inaccuracies. Price alleges that SJP then proceeded to question his bias on the matter given his involvement with pro-Israel groups.
