As members of the faculty, administration, student body and alumni of Rutgers University, we support Israel in its quest for peace in the Middle East.

We believe that Israel has a right to defend herself against those who wish to destroy the Jewish state.  We oppose the campaign by some members of our University community urging the divestment of Rutgers funds from companies that do business with Israel.

Further, we call upon Rutgers University to increase its contacts with Israel as Israel is the sole Democracy in the middle-east and shares the same values as the Rutgers Community.
