One for the good guys

This week's Excal has Jewish students on campus finally showing some initiative with student Daniel Held writing in this opinion piece about Barak and how it relates to freedom of speech at York: "Pipes and Davis come from different worlds. Each has a right to speak, a right to teach and every student has a right to learn from them. The threats of violence by pro-Palestinian protesters cannot be rewarded by surrendering to their demands. Violence does not grant a veto. Violence cannot be the censor of freedom of speech. Violence has no place on a university campus. "

Yay Daniel.

Other interested students should write to letters@excal.on.ca. I can guarantee that next week will be "Israel is evil" week again.
