"“The community spends so much money on so-called pro-Israel advocacy, and it’s not moving the needle. Dollars are being spent educating Jewish students how to defend themselves, handing out pamphlets and leaflets for them to memorize, as though it’s the job of a Jewish student to defend Israel. The change you can make with one lawsuit or even one legal letter is enormous,” she said. “Not only can you ensure that the rights of your clients are respected and protected, and that similar unlawful behavior is deterred, but you go from defense to offense. And when one minority community enforces the law, all minority communities benefit.”"
