Wahoos For Israel

Club Description

Wahoos For Israel at UVA is established for the expressed purpose of: advocating and supporting the State of Israel. We find it necessary to recognize the richness of diverse viewpoints our club fosters, opening an inclusive space for dialogue and understanding. We encourage Jewish students to share their experiences, but more importantly, alongside members of other communities, creating a vibrant tapestry of voices in support of Israel. Students of all backgrounds are actively encouraged to join our community which in turn strengthens Wahoos for Israel and enriches all our learning.We stand against hate and violent rhetoric towards Israel, although that is not to say we do not support the freedom to peacefully exchange ideas and speak your truth. Support for Israel can consist of constructive criticisms within dialogues—to challenge ideas is to seek better understanding, and this our aspiration.
