Setting The Record Straight

Campus Watch corrects false allegations made against it.

This article alleges that Campus Watch coordinates with other organizations campaigns "that validate the Likudnik-Zionist doctrinal framing of the Middle East."

This is false: Campus Watch does not seek to validate anything beyond rigorous scholarship, and we act completely alone without any coordination with any other group. I invite the authors of this study to present evidence that CW has, at any time, launched or taken part in a coordinated campaign.

Similarly, the charge that Campus Watch was behind "the so-called Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week (IFAW) from October 22-26" is false. Campus Watch had no connection to this effort, which was in fact the work of David Horowitz. Campus Watch has no connection to his organization.
