Responding to outreach by B’nai Brith Canada, and the many concerned citizens spurred on by it to action, the president of McGill University in Montreal has come out strongly against a recent student referendum that has dangerous implications for Jewish students.
On Monday of this week, the Students’ Society at McGill University (SSMU) announced the endorsement via referendum of a document that accuses Israel of engaging in “settler-colonial apartheid against Palestinians,” and committing SSMU to boycotting all entities allegedly “complicit” in this activity, among other measures.
