575 Jewish students challenge Birthright on Israel's travel ban: will we be vetted on our political views? – Judy Maltz – Haaretz 19.04.17
In a letter, students ask if the biggest sponsor of trips to Israel will screen applicants based on their views on settlement boycott, BDS and other political issues.

And see:

Either stop visiting Israel or stop opposing the occupation?
