Summit of Pro-Israel College Students Aims to ‘Take Back’ Campuses From Radical Protesters
“We are grateful to all our speakers for inspiring and energizing our students to stand up for what’s right.”
In an ideal world, a meeting like this wouldn’t even need to happen. Students should be able to focus on their studies.

Pro-Israel college students gather for summit, vow to ‘take back’ campuses from radical agitators
Hundreds of Jewish and pro-Israel college students gathered in Washington, D.C., this week for a leadership summit to prepare for the coming school year after universities nationwide faced rampant protests against Israel and repeated instance of antisemitism, Fox News Digital learned.
“At the ICC National Leadership Summit, the largest annual gathering of pro-Israel undergraduates, we witnessed the dedication and resilience of 500 students from 153 campuses. This summit empowered a diverse network of young leaders ready to ‘Take Back The Campus’ after the surge in brazen antisemitism on campus last semester,” Israel on Campus Coalition CEO Jacob Baime exclusively told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
“We are grateful to all our speakers for inspiring and energizing our students to stand up for what’s right. ICC stands firmly with these students as they confront this difficult climate and take back their campuses.”
The Israel on Campus Coalition describes itself as an organization that works to inspire American college students and pro-Israel college groups to “see Israel as a source of pride and empower them to stand up for Israel on campus.” More than 500 students from 153 campuses gathered in Washington, D.C., this week to take part in the group’s National Leadership Summit, which focused on its theme of “Take Back The Campus.”
The summit included a large range of students who support Israel, including undergrads from historically Black colleges, who heard from a bevy of speakers, including former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett; Shye Klein, a photographer and survivor of the Supernova Music Festival; former Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, and others. The summit also included a performance from singer and rapper Matisyahu and Israeli singer Noa Kirel.
