In a video published by the Israel on Campus Coalition (ICC), Julia Ganson, who now serves as a senior officer for major donors at the Government Accountability Project (GAP), says, “We have made it into this very simple thing: Hamas is a terrorist group, so we should not have anything to do with them, but they have done a lot of good for the Palestinians."
 
ICC is a national network of students, faculty and professionals dedicated to strengthening the pro-Israel movement on campus.
Ganson formerly managed international training and fellowship programs for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in the executive education office of Syracuse University from 2008 until 2016.
