Israel is under assault on university campuses like never before. The film shows how anti-Israel activity on some North American university campuses is “Crossing the Line” into anti-Semitism. In the past year, anti-Israel activity on campus has skyrocketed. The Anti-Defamation League reports a 114% increase of anti-Israel events on campus. Students report being emotionally and intellectually harassed, intimidated, threatened, and bullied by their fellow students. They’re also being harassed by their professors—to the point that they are afraid to express a view that is not anti-Israel in the classroom. Free speech itself is under attack.
Crossing the Line 2 explores the proliferation of anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses and examines when reasonable criticism of Israel “Crosses the Line” into anti-Semitism. This new documentary film by Jerusalem U, creators of the acclaimed films Israel Inside and Beneath the Helmet, exposes the rise of anti-Israel activity on campus. It is the sequel to the 2010 film Crossing the Line: The Intifada Comes to Campus.
