Daniel Segal is a Professor of Psychology at Pitzer College in Pomona, CA, where he has a record of engaging in antisemitic and anti-Israel activity.

In November 2018, Segal spearheaded an effort to have Pitzer suspend its study abroad program with the University of Haifa in Israel. He was supported by former “Antisemite of the Week” Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (pictured below with Segal), but thankfully, his efforts failed.

Segal is known to partner with and support several problematic groups such as Open Hillel, an organization that’s criticized for its antisemitic bias and bigotry. He also frequently tweets his support of the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement and is an advisory member of Anthropologists for the Boycott of Israeli Academic Institutions. For example, in May of 2021, Segal tweeted: “Self-respecting Jews are anti-Zionists, bc Zionism is settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing and apartheid–and racist. Self-respecting Jews aren’t racist. They support Palestinian freedom. & #BDS.” Segal atrociously considers fellow Jews who consider themselves Zionists as colonizers and perpetrators of genocide and apartheid.

Minimizing the atrocities of the Holocaust, Segal has grossly appropriated the slogan, “never again,” nearly 50 times between January 2019 and June 2022, in a malicious attempt to draw a comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany. For example, on:

Segal is also an open supporter of convicted Palestinian terrorists such as Leila Khaled, a leading member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) who participated in the hijacking of an aircraft. Khaled has said that the second intifada failed because it was not violent enough, advocated for the use of children in committing terrorist acts, and compared Zionists to Nazis.

Equating Israel with Nazi Germany and comparing Israel to apartheid are blatant examples of Jew-hatred according to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism. Segal fiercely rejects the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism for these reasons.

Pitzer College’s Jewish students deserve to feel safe on campus, free from antisemitic bigots like Daniel Segal. StopAntisemitism needs YOUR help! Email Interim President Jill Klein and demand Pitzer College look into Professor Daniel Segal’s antisemitic history.
