A Conundrum | Commentary"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Last Wednesday, two young people, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were mowed down and murdered by an assassin who repeatedly shouted, \u201cFree Palestine.\u201d It was an act of terrorism, an execution in cold blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The two were both working at the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. still in their twenties and on their way up in Israel\u2019s diplomatic corps. They were also planning a wedding. They had their whole lives ahead of them and an exciting road to travel. Now, none of that will happen thanks to a horrible act of antisemitism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, in Toronto, over just the last 24 hours, three synagogues have been vandalized, and pro-Palestine activists are blocking access to the Ontario Food Terminal, which is Canada\u2019s largest fruit and produce distribution centre. These same activists were also trying to disrupt a \u2018March for Israel\u2019 that took place in Toronto today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa MacLeod, a former member of the Ontario Legislature and who also served as a Cabinet Minister in the Ford Government, recently posted this. \u201cWhy are Jews still being murdered for being Jews? Why did October 7th<\/sup> not shock the world into moral clarity?  Why are our leaders silent while mobs intimidate Jewish people on the street? Why is this happening in Canada?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All good questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antisemitism in Canada, the United States, and many other parts of the world has risen sharply since the attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists, raping, murdering, pillaging, and taking innocent hostages. It is Hamas, who at the time controlled much of the Gaza Strip, that started the war with Israel. We should never forget that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nor should we ever forget that peaceful demonstrations are an important part of the democratic process. The problem is that most of the so-called pro-Palestinian protests, spreading all over North America, are in many cases, anything but peaceful. They have been disruptive, angry, fiercely antisemitic, and, at times, destructive and dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should also be noted that many of these Pro-Palestinian protesters quite likely couldn\u2019t find Palestine on a map if it was put in front of them. They are activists who will choose any platform of dissent to further their own causes and create chaos. I cannot help but view this type of behaviour as reminiscent of similar activities and disruption immediately before World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are those who criticize and condemn the length to which Israel has gone to defend itself against Hamas and other Middle East jurisdictions that are openly hostile to them. While others may not agree, they have a right to believe that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well, one would have to be very hard indeed not to have empathy for the thousands of Palestinians in Gaza who are either starving or dead because of the Hamas war with Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is critically important, however, to distinguish between criticism of a nation and hatred of a people. There is simply no excuse for antisemitism or the discrimination, hate, violence, and terrorism that it spawns. Those in positions of leadership who downplay it, completely ignore it, or exploit it for political purposes risk repeating one of the darkest periods in recent history. For that, they should be ashamed and held accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning now to the United States, here is where the conundrum comes in. Recently, President Donald Trump defunded Harvard University, one of the more historic and respected post-secondary institutions globally. He also barred them from enrolling international students, including those from Canada, who represent a third of their student body.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons Trump stated for punishing Harvard was that Harvard allowed a Pro-Palestinian rally on their campus. Readers of my Listen Up commentaries will know that I am no fan of those.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, assuming they were demonstrations within the law, I question whether this significant attack against Harvard is a repression of free speech and an attempt by government to tell universities what they can and cannot advocate or teach, again, within the law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a move by the Trump Administration, which looks and smells like an attempt to control freedom of thought and expression, must send spine chills to every university in the United States and Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universities have traditionally been a forum for free thought and free speech. Most people who attend those universities are in their late teens or early twenties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of a longer quote, Winston Churchill once said that anyone at 21 who was not a socialist had no heart. I don\u2019t particularly agree with that, but I do believe that many young people who pursue post-secondary education are, in one way or another, idealists at that point in their lives. They look to universities and colleges as a platform to express that idealism, and many change their views as they grow older. To me, it is a very important part of growing up. To suppress it is just wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the United States at the moment, we are seeing very visible indications of threats to civil liberties, the judiciary, and free speech, all signs of a serious democratic decline. We cannot allow that to spill over into Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, we must defend freedom of speech within the law, both on academic campuses and in wider society. At the same time, we need to vigorously oppose antisemitism, hate of any kind and violence against those with whom we may not agree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cannot allow political, or self-interest agendas to turn legitimate protest into a pretext for repression. Rising antisemitism must be condemned in the strongest and most effective manner. But so too, must we condemn the political punishment of academic institutions, or\u00a0any other venue for that matter, for allowing free expression within the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t fix broken dialogue by shutting people up. But neither do we protect free speech by turning a blind eye to hate and suppression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therein lies my conundrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
