Calling for genocide is illegal in Canada so why is it necessary to cover it in school policies? I wouldn’t expect murder to be included in school policies either.

TL;DR: context matters.

I don’t like them Jews; fuck them, their space lasers, and the state of Israel: not good.

I’m a Palestinian and I would very much like my people to stop being genocided; I think removal of the state of Israel is the only feasible way: fine.

“TL;DR” implies a summary of the article, but you just seem to be stating a position which I guess is your own view.

Get help.

How about we don’t call for the genocide of any group you fucking cunts. We can’t call for the genocide of Jews (rightfully so) but calling for the genocide of Palestinians is fine I guess. Why is the question framed the way that it is (spoiler: we all know the answer)? Shouldn’t Palestinians feel safe on campus as well?

Also CTV can get fucked with their reporting on Palestine and Israel: https://breachmedia.ca/ctv-bell-media-forbids-palestine-suppresses-criticism-israel/

How about if also agree that saying “bombing hospitals is bad” is not antisemitism?
