The Daily Trojan has published many articles and letters to the editor about
Israel and the recent conflict in Gaza. Hillel is posting a sampling of articles here
from this semester.
Most of them present the pro-Israel side as they are written by Jewish
students and faculty. Overall, USC is a very safe and comfortable place for
Jewish students, staff and faculty. As would be expected, most of the Daily
Trojan pieces reflects the opinions an stories in the general press. Hillel is
proud to work with SC Students for Israel and Trojans for Israel in presenting
a side of the story that reflects the largest majority of American Jews and American opinion.
