Lots of stuff going on this week....

Most campus papers are back in swing, here is a taste of Israel in Canadian campus media this week.

I wrote an Excal editorial, though I often feel like I'm trying to stop a tidal wave with a teacup. Expect responses to rip me apart.

Uri Davis spoke last week at York, UofT and Queen's :

"'Israel remains the only apartheid state that is a member of the UN,' he said."

It got no coverage at York and I can't find any from UofT.

The McGill Daily has a lot of interesting content this week, a feature article about birthright israel that I didn't read fully, and a news story about Palestinian refugees in Canada that contains a few choice statements about Israel, including:

“There are atrocities being committed in the name of Judaism. These refugees are living proof of the atrocities.”

The other thing going on at McGill, of course, is an anti-Semite who has been standing around with posters, and the students who are saying Enough is enough. From The McGill Tribune.

Guelph accidentally scheduled clubs day for Rosh Hashana. But then they moved it. (OK, that really has nothing to do with Israel. whatever.)

Out in BC, a solitary letter to the editor in the Navigator learns this from 9/11:

What the U.S. people, the west, and Canada, for that matter, need to do is to put pressure on Israel to cease oppression of the Palestine and negotiate a peace there. The west needs to been seen pressuring Israel and not as seen supporting them alone.

I urge anyone who feels so moved to write a letter, opinion piece, or forward me articles of concern.
