O’ Canada: Jews Not Welcome at York University
Written by: Aaron Katsman | February 16, 2009
The year is 2009. York University in Toronto. Jews chased through the campus and then basically held hostage. Couldn’t be true, could it? Sure is. According to the Jpost: “Jewish students at
York University in Toronto were forced to take refuge in the Hillel office last Wednesday night as anti-Israel protesters banged on the glass doors, chanting, “Die, bitch, go back to Israel,” and “Die, Jew, get the hell off
campus.” and, “Daniel Ferman, the Hillel president, who was called a “f*****g Jew” and a “dirty Jew” by the protesters, said, “We were basically being held hostage in our own space.”
So the college campus, which is supposed to be the bastion of tolerance and open mindedness, has turned into a cesspool of anti-semitism. Where were the police, and the rest of the authorities? How could they allow this to happen. Do they share similar feelings, or have they been intimidated, like so many others throughout the world? Jewish students at York need to stand up for their ethnic background, and wear it proudly. The rest of the student body needs to stand by the side of the Jewish students in order to show solidarity. Anything short of this signals their approval for this incident.
