Israeli Students Association - York University

11/29/2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Israeli Students Association would like to thank B'nai Brith Canada for submitting a report to campus security and the University administration about violent threats made by a pro-Palestinian activist and Schulich School of Business community member.

Among other anti-Semitic statements, the activist said that the University "should burn to the ground" and that everyone at the University "should burn with it". The threatening comment was made in response to an inciteful post by the Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA) student group.

This is more evidencing of the toxic influence of SAIA - they have invited Holocaust deniers to campus, organized a protest where Jewish women were told to "go back to the ovens", and incited hateful threats on social media. The University administration must take immediate action against the student group and their leadership.

What does systemic anti-Semitism look like?

In 2010, York University threatened to sue a Rabbi who was organizing a protest against the visit of the anti-Semitic George Galloway.

In 2019, York University opens its doors to a Student Against Israeli Apartheid protest that includes Holocaust deniers.

On November 20th, one of the Palestinian protestors present at York University was Holocaust-denying newspaper editor Nazih Khatatba. It is unacceptable and a clear threat to the safety of Jewish students to have Holocaust deniers on campus.

Khatatba, glorified a 2014 massacre at a Jerusalem synagogue and has described Judaism as a “terrorist religion.” He has also said "Canadian society should not believe the fairy tales that the Jews have suffered oppression. That is not true at all."

In 2017, Students Against Israeli Apartheid YorkU figure Hammam Farah called Khatatba a "Palestinian community leader". Please email the Centre for Training in Psychotherapy, where Hammam Farah is a student: [email protected].
