Chloe Valdary, a prominent African-American Zionist activist, says that Jewish students must be educated about their own history and comfortable with the concept of Jewish power.

Jewish power is at the heart of Zionism, she stresses, urging Jews on campus to become comfortable with the idea of Jewish empowerment vs. powerlessness.
Despite anti-Israel sentiment on campus, Valdary sees a ray of hope for the future, pointing to cultural trends outside of academia that embrace empowerment.
