Over the past week, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel has suffered setbacks on three major American campuses: Vassar College, Northeastern University and the University of Indianapolis.

Last week, Jasbir Puar, an assistant professor at Rutgers University, spoke at Vassar College during which she accuses Israel of assassinating teenagers, harvesting organs, and deliberately preventing resources from reaching Gaza in order to "maim" and "stunt" the growth of Palestinians.
