"Media coverage of Israel is, with growing frequency, more comparable to activism than actual journalism. Journalists are failing to ask basic questions while simultaneously giving platforms and awards to activists masquerading as reporters."

"As a student journalist at Princeton, I witnessed firsthand just how deeply anti-Israel bias can infiltrate a campus—my reporting was misrepresented, Israel was maligned in a host of on-campus events, and falsities about the Jewish State were spread to the entire student body."

When he is not in Montréal, he is often working on political campaigns at home in New York or analyzing archives as an intern at his local historical society.

"Biased, anti-Zionist media coverage is overly simplified as well as inaccurate. This is dangerous because it discourages students from thinking about the Arab-Israeli conflict in a nuanced way. I am combatting this trend by writing balanced op-eds about the conflict in the Middle East and the antisemitic incidents that have occurred based on false information published about Israel at McGill University."

Abigail Darwish

Abigail Darwish
University College London

Abigail Darwish studies History at the University College London. Abigail is very dedicated to the Zionist movement and hopes to create a more positive outlook on Zionism on campus and continue to educate and combat antisemitism online. She is the president of UCL's Friends of Israel Society ( a group member of the CAMERA on Campus Coalition) and a CAMERA on Campus UK Fellow alumna.

"To ensure the journalistic integrity of my university’s newspaper, I have been observant of both the editing and publication process they undertook with my article, and how such treatment compares to the works of other students at UCL. I have then met with the newspaper committee to address these issues, and hopefully curtail future bias against pro-Israel students on our campus."
