I have to disagree with this. It wasn't a complicated question. It's like the Toronto cops running coffee to Palestinian Protesters who got separated on their way to Jewish neighborhoods to intimidate. It's double standard.The entire situation is coming from the stupid moment a senator proposed a question that the answer was not the simple 'yes or no' she wanted. It was a 'got'cha' moment that she wanted.
And people didn't like that Gay - and the others with her - said as much.
Depending on who you are, 'healing' won't happen at all at that or any other school. Because the Western view on the issue is based on anything and everything but the reality of and to the complexities of the situation.

Protesting is is not threatening people or shooting Jewish schools or going into neighborhoods where Jews live and threatening them there. We are trying people for less over the "Freedom Convoy," in which we froze bank accounts, and held some without bail, and are wasting millions of dollars in the courts on what are essentially, nuisance charges.Unless you are for picking what is free speech and what isn't yes, this was complicated and a gotcha question. There's a lot of ways this can be explained as a got'cha question, but you won't even bother with that. (like the fact that this didn't happen, that if students were protesting and calling for the 'genocide' of Palestinians, that question wouldn't even be asked...)
Personally, while I DO feel it would violate the policy, I also get that being Canadian, our speech is monitored and stuff like that would be bordering hate speech.
But we're not talking Canada, we're talking the US.
Where I've had Americans repeatedly tell me that they would rather people say what ever they want so they know what people think/feel, than to have speech, even hate speech, sat on and not said at all.
Used fire trucks can be bought fairly cheap at city surplus auctions.There are more of us ( normal people ) and eventually something will give . The video of the man in New York trying to pick up his daughter is a prime example , as he forced his car through the protesters you could hear cries of run them over coming from the other blocked motorists . Soon more and more are going to follow this example and it won’t be pretty .

We have a big problem here, and we better start taking it seriously, because that fucked up ideology over there is already here, and is manifested in intimidation and violence.
If we don't take it serious people here are going to die.
What happened in Harvard was intimidation and violence threatened against Jews
in many major learning institutions, Harvard wasn't the only one. Penn State. MIT. U of T, pick a college. The leadership looked the other way, while Jews were threatened not only by Muslims but brainless students who get their news from Facebook Reels and TikTok.
I'm all about free speech as long as it does not couple itself to or insight violence.
The Palestinian protesters are already using violence and intimidation.
They shot up Jewish elementary schools in Montreal.Those who went to Jewish schools and threatened them, or shot them up, or went into Jewish neighbourhoods, and those who did the same to Arab/Palestinian schools and neighbourhoods CROSSED the line of free speech and protesting. But that's a different situation all together, as those did not take place on college campuses, which was the focus at the time.
Has everything to do with the question.Had nothing to do with this question/situation, so...
Yes, it has happened here. Been happening here for years. Are you just realizing that the culture of insanity in the US is in Canada?
Again, you're just realizing this?
Who in Canada was intimidating Palestinians? Who is shooting up their mosques or marching in their neighborhoods like brown shirts?And what about intimidation and violence threatened against Palestinians?
Okay, I'll give it a shot. Jews blow themselves up in market? Jews cut off heads and rape women as a form of warfare? Sorry, I tried, it doesn't work, they don''t do that. They also don't throw gays off rooftops or hang them from cranes. Please cc to: QueersforPalestineAgain, swap out Jews for Palestinians.
I will agree that shit is happening by brainless students who don't get the situation what so ever and don't understand the context of what's going on in Israel and Gaza. And a lot of the fault lies with the schools who should have recognized this would be an issue, and opened up classes and forums to properly discuss things from both sides.
River to the sea. The Palestinians want it all. No Israel in that equation. They are clear. That is why they attacked Israel. It should be a mathematical equation or formula. (Stage terror attack+use own people as human shields+cry victim) Definitely a formula. They sort of lost me when they drove nails into a woman face, burned children to death in their hiding places and raped woman and even some kids. I don't want to be on the side of using a dead German girls body like a serial killers trophy dragging her naked body through the streets to be spat upon.Same; calling for the end of the war in Gaza, holding Israel's Government in account for Genocide and holding Hamas in account for terrorist acts does not violence make.
It's being used effectively in Canada by Palestinians and their supporters.What makes the violence are those that use these moments to push their anti-whatever agenda, whether it's anti-Jewish or anti-Arab/Palestinian.
Terrorism begins inSome are, because stupid happens in all groups.
Disagree.Just as some Jewish protesters are already using the same.
Zero tolerance for hate and bullying is zero tolerance, except when it came to bullying Jews.If the Senator had been actually truthful in trying to present there were issues with the policies to the schools, she SHOULD have asked if calling for the genocide of ANY group violates the policies.
Moot point after what I just said.Not just Jews.
Not just Palestinians.
But it's funny that these same people who are oh so supportive of Israel right now, will also support the free speech of groups like the ones who shouted a few years ago "Jews Will Not Replace Us!" and who are all for Nazi's being out and supporting THEIR campaigns.
It wasn't hypothetical. It happened. Have you not seen any of the student shot video?
I think I've said all I'm going to say on this.
