Israel in Canadian Campus Media

This blog exists for the purpose of keeping people informed as to how Israel is being discussed in Canadian campus media. It is maintained by a York University student.

SFU student gives the security fence "A Canadian-Jewish Perspective"

A student's Canadian-Jewish Perspective on the security fence is definitely worth a read in the current issue of the Peak, as is the article about Al-Jazeera.

That's all folks.

More bunnies

Martlet did their July issues. Like the previous issue, it is mostly about bunnies.

Also, a couple new links and I added a "French" section. Now, let me be clear: My French isn't good enough to monitor these. Sorry. Je suis desolee.

Secret #1 for students at UofT, Brock, AU

Marc's been asking me for my secrets, most of which I won't be
divulging at present, but here is one tip for media-savvy students at
UofT, Brock and AU. The Varsity, Brock Press and AUSU
Voice
all have email subscription services. I recommend signing
up for these services; very often, you can tell what is in the paper
from the headlines.

Non-Israel related scandal

The Fulcrum at UofO is fighting with their admin over underage drinking. Hmmmmm.

Late-breaking grapevine news - the University of Ottawa decided NOT to pull the paper yesterday.

Just kinda interesting. Anyhow, their summer issue deals mainly with school stuff.

UofT's the Varsity is equally uneventful, with the only traces of foreign policy an op-ed entitled Saint Michael Moore.

I leave you to be the judges.

Debate has yet to Peak. LOL.

So the Israel-Palestine battle rages on at The Peak, and this time the "bad guy" is the editor, who is printing less letters than have been written.

Also, incidentally, organized religion takes a hit this week.

Also, the Muse out in Newfoundland published, but did not update their website. This happens a lot in the summer.

Enjoy!

Found: One Charlatan

In case anybody was curious, we now are linked to the Valentine's day
issue of the Charlatan, the most recent one available.
Thanks to Marc for the update.

Again, a reminder: Feel free to send me useful links.

Thanks!

Searching for the Charlatan

Avi commented that the site does not currently have a link to Concordia's The Charlatan.

This is true for a number of campus papers. Usually, the reason for this is that the website is down or has not been updated since 2002.

If anyone has a current URL for a site I am missing, please leave it in a comment or email it to aliza1019-at-excite-dot-com. (I write my email out in a weird way so any person can figure it out, but it won't be picked up by random computer-generated spam search programs.)

Even more on the Peak! (I need more creative titles.)

Welcome to readers of Honest Reporting Campus joining us this week.

HR Campus puts out weekly alerts during the year and monthly alerts in the summer addressing shoddy campus reporting.

This week's campus alert sources us on the last Peak post, and discusses it in greater detail than I ever could.

Thanks HR Campus for the backgrounder!

More from the Peak

This week's issue of the Peak sports an angry (and occasionally profane) letter of the week which, aside from containing the dreaded moral equivalence, speaks to a certain desire by some student to not have the Israeli-Arab conflict discussed in any depth in student newspapers.

I am assuming that Mickey Finn is a pseudonym.

Another interesting article about free speech mentions Mein Kampf.

And also the inevitable Fahrenheit 9/11 back-and-forth and one article about Iraq.

That's it from Simon Fraser this week.
