Israel Advocacy

Additional Resources

The David Project
The David Project positively shapes campus opinion on Israel by educating, training, and empowering student leaders to be thoughtful, strategic, and persuasive advocates. Their approach, which they call relational advocacy, emphasizes building relationships with diverse communities on campus and helping students use their Israel experience to relate to their peers.

Stand With Us
Stand With Us is dedicated to informing the public about Israel and to combating the extremism and antisemitism that often distorts the issues. They believe that knowledge of the facts will correct common prejudices about the Arab-Israeli conflict, and will promote discussions and policies that can help promote peace in the region. Through print materials, speakers, programs, conferences, missions to Israel, campaigns, social media, and internet resources, they ensure that the story of Israel’s achievements and ongoing challenges is told on campuses and in communities around the world.

Israel on Campus Coalition
ICC supports and empowers campus leaders, facilitates strategic collaboration among national pro-Israel groups, incubates innovative initiatives, and conducts cutting-edge research to inform campus partners and the national pro-Israel community.

ISRAEL21c 
With materials that go beyond the conflict, ISRAEL21c offers topical and timely reports on how Israelis from all walks of life and religion innovate, improve, and add value to the world. The site redefines the conversation about Israel, offering a fair and balanced portrayal of the country, and focusing media and public attention on Israel’s vibrant diversity, humanity, creativity, innovative spirit, and responsiveness.

AIPAC
AIPAC works to empower students to be confident advocates for Israel—both on campus and beyond. AIPAC's training programs teach students how to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship through political involvement. On campuses across the United States—from Ivy League universities, to small liberal arts colleges, to historically black and Christian schools—AIPAC gives students the tools to find their voices in support of a strong US-Israel relationship.

Israeli Consulates
Israeli consulates throughout the country offer resources from the Israeli government. Additionally the consulates may offer speakers and other programs for your community. Some of the consulates offer leadership training programs.

iEngage
The iEngage Project is committed to addressing core questions about the necessity and significance of the Jewish national enterprise: how a Jewish state should exercise power, why a Jew who lives outside of Israel should care about Israel, and what the State of Israel can offer the world. The site offers the perspectives of thought leaders on Jewish thought, political theory, international law, and rethinkings of the meanings and significance of Zionism and Israel.

Campus Hillel
Hillel welcomes students of all backgrounds and fosters an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel. As the largest Jewish student organization in the world, Hillel builds connections with emerging adults at more than 550 colleges and universities, and inspires them to direct their own path. During their formative college years, students are challenged to explore, experience, and create vibrant Jewish lives.

Institute for Curriculum Services
ICS is dedicated to promoting accurate instructional materials and instruction on Jews, Judaism, and Israel for American K-12 students. Its work impacts the millions of public and private school students who learn about Jews, Judaism, and Israel in social studies classes each year.

STOP BDS
Stop BDS was put together by a group of academics and students concerned about the misrepresentations made by the BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions) movement. It aims to provide students with the tools to understand and respond to the coordinated attack on truth, democracy, and fairness that is being waged by the global BDS movement.
