Promoting BDS

The resolution targeted companies it accused of profiting from and enabling “human rights abuses and violence,” for example by contributing to the construction of Israel’s security barrier, which the resolution referred to as “the Separation wall.”
Israel’s security barrier, 97% of which is a low chain link barrier, was built as a deterrent to Palestinian terror attacks. The concrete portions of the fence were built in response to Palestinian sniper attacks.
The resolution said that investment in the companies targeted: “shows implicit support for the decisions and actions of these companies, as well as their consequences, which include the killings of civilians.”

Demonizing Pro-Israel Organizations
On May 6, 2014, Singh signed a statement urging USAC candidates and members not to participate in trips by pro-Israel organizations the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Anti Defamation League (ADL) and Hasbara Fellowships, which the letter said: “is housed under Aish International.”
The stated mission of AIPAC is to “strengthen, protect and promote the U.S.-Israel relationship in ways that enhance the security of the United States and Israel.”

The stated mission of the ADL is “To stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”
The letter signed by Singh claimed: “AIPAC and the ADL have political agendas that marginalize multiple communities on campus” and “have histories of Islamophobia.”

The letter also claimed that Aish International “helped disseminate Islamophobic materials” that “incited violence against Muslims.”
Discriminating Against a Jewish Student
On February 10, 2015, Singh was one of four members of the UCLA Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC) who voted [00:16:20] against a student’s appointment to USAC because she was Jewish.
The student, Rachel Beyda, had been nominated to the council’s Judicial Board. At the February 10 USAC meeting, one of the four council members, Fabienne Roth was recorded on video, asking [00:01:18] Beyda: “Given that you are a Jewish student and very active in the Jewish community...how do you see yourself being able to maintain an unbiased view...?”
Singh later asked [00:03:31] Beyda what she thinks “constitutes a conflict of interest.”
Once Beyda left the room, the council debated “about whether her faith and affiliation with Jewish organizations…meant she would be biased in dealing with sensitive governance questions that come before the board.”
The New York Times reported that after a faculty member “pointed out that belonging to Jewish organizations was not a conflict of interest,” the students held a re-vote and unanimously voted to appoint Beyda to the board.
A faculty member said [00:29:44] “if it’s gotten to a point where nobody can be appointed for anything…if they are identified with an ethnicity that has anything to do with any of the many worldwide conflicts…you’re going to have nobody to appoint to any position anywhere on this campus…this is a really disturbing track that we’re going down right now.”
The New York Times reported: “The discussion, recorded in written minutes and captured on video, seemed to echo the kind of questions, prejudices and tropes — particularly about divided loyalties — that have plagued Jews across the globe for centuries, students and Jewish leaders said.”
Singh and the other three council members who had voted against Beyda published a letter in the Daily Bruin on February 20, 2015, apologizing to the Jewish community “for remarks made during the Feb. 10 Undergraduate Students Association Council meeting concerning the potential Judicial Board appointee.”

SJP
SJP is a student organization engaged in anti-Israel activity on North American college and university campuses.
The first chapter of SJP was founded in 2001 at the University of California at Berkeley by Professor Hatem Bazian. Bazian has spread classic anti-Semitism, reportedly promoted religious anti-Semitism and defended the Hamas terror group. In 2004, Bazian called for “intifada” in America.
SJP organizes anti-Israel campaigns, including running annual Israel Apartheid Weeks, often in collaboration with Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Muslim Students Association (MSA) campus chapters.
SJP has been a major force in pushing the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement on campuses. Chapters have initiated dozens of BDS resolutions in student governments, which have been proposed on or around Jewish holidays, a time when many Jewish students are off-campus.
SJP activists have reportedly physically assaulted, intimidated and harassed Jewish students, disrupted pro-Israel campus events and demonized pro-Israel campus organizations.
Chapters have often endorsed and campaigned for numerous terrorists and whitewashed terrorism.
