Brandeis Students for Justice in Palestine describes itself as a student club whose primary purpose “is to give a voice to those who are interested in promoting the Palestinian perspective/narrative/point of view on campus, and to create an outlet and framework of support for students that wish to explore the conflict [and to] provide resources (speakers, movies, exhibits, etc.) that express the Palestinian narrative to campus.”
