Interview with Kingsborough Community College
Professor Jeffrey Lax, an Orthodox Jew, who recently resigned from CUNY's Union over a blatant antisemitic resolution accusing Israel of 'apartheid,' and calling for discussions about potential support for BDS. During the interview, Professor Lax cited countless examples of antisemitism within the union, faculty, and hiring practices at the community college.

Opening monologue from the interview: On June 18, Professor Jeffrey Lax, resigned from the CUNY’s professor’s union over the passage by an overwhelmingly number of colleagues on an anti-Israel resolution.

In a recent column from The Jewish Press, the opening paragraph reads as follows:

'The 47-year-old Jewish professor of business at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, N.Y., was appalled by a recent 83-34 vote by the Professional Staff Congress of CUNY on a June 10 resolution that condemns “the continued subjugation of Palestinians to the state-supported displacement, occupation and use of lethal force by Israel” and also “racism in all its forms including anti-Semitism, and recognizes that criticisms of Israel, a diverse nation-state, are not inherently anti-Semitic.”
