Canadian Union Wants To Ban Jewish Professors From Campuses
Ban them if they don’t condemn Israel’s defense of itself against the attacks from Hamas.
The union representing university workers in Ontario (that would be Canada) has decided that it would be a good idea to ban Israeli professors. Yep. The Canadian Union of Public Employees has decided that it wants to take a stand against the evil Israelis who are attacking innocent Hamas victims. So their solution is to use the power of the union to ban Israeli professors from Ontario universities. The president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees of Ontario says, “In response to an appeal from the Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees, we are ready to say Israeli academics should not be on our campuses unless they explicitly condemn the university bombing and the assault on Gaza in general.” The bombing he is referring to is that of Islamic University in Gaza.
Another victory for that famous, much-touted liberal tolerance.
Seriously though, aren’t universities supposed to be institutions of free and diverse thought? What if some Jewish professors don’t happen to think Israel did anything wrong? What if some Jewish professors think (rightfully, in my opinion) that Israel was attacked by Hamas and is merely defending itself against a bigoted hate group that has vowed to wipe the Jewish state off the map?
Are they not at least entitled to their opinions?
Furthermore, where’s the demand for a ban on Muslim professors who don’t condemn Hamas for its attacks on Israel? At the very least they should be consistent, shouldn’t they?
