Open Letter to university community on Palestinian Rights and Canadian Universities

    Photo: Fathima Cader. Palestinian solidarity protest in Toronto.

The last two years have seen increasing efforts to limit advocacy of Palestinian rights on Canadian universities, amounting to a pattern of the suppression of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

these include:

* Statements from 19 university presidents in the summer of 2007 to foreclose debate on the academic boycott of Israel, citing “academic freedom”

* Visits to Israel by eight university presidents in the summer of 2008, with no equivalent outreach to Palestinian institutions

* Efforts to ban the use of the term “Israeli Apartheid” at McMaster University in February-March 2008, overturned only through a campaign of protest

* Discipline against students involved in peaceful protests for Palestinian rights at York University in March in 2008

* Attempted discipline against a faculty member who addressed a rally against Israeli Apartheid at York University in 2008

* A pattern of cancellation of room bookings for meetings concerning Palestinian rights at the University of Toronto and York University in 2008

* The use of security clearance requirements and fees to cover security costs to impede campus meetings about Palestinian rights

we the undersigned:

* Defend the right to freedom of speech about Palestine for all members of the university community, including freedom to use the term ‘apartheid’ to identify and debate certain policies associated with the state of Israel and the freedom to support, facilitate and participate freely in activities under the rubric of “Israeli apartheid week”

* Call for an end to the silencing of speech around Palestine, removing extraordinary requirements for security clearance and fees for security services

* Support increased ties to Palestinian institutions and scholars, and activities to support the right to education and academic freedom of Palestinians

Why don’t we try to defend freedom of speech in Palestine while we are at it.

You have a supporter from the U.S. Keep speaking for the voiceless and fighting for the weak.

I just listened to an interview of the Mayor of Jerusalem on AL JAZEERA. I can only say that what the Mayor said was pure fantasy. How do they make these facts up? Do they think that people are stupid? Two organizations come to mind. They alone give Zionists their supreme ARROGANCE. The two are the IDF and AIPAC. They together make up the new GESTAPO. Soon Canada will regret its support of the unsupportable and its complicity in ISRAEL’S violent oppression of the PALESTINIAN people. I was 20 years old in 1961 and I was proud of Canada’s international reputation. I was a rebel without a cause. The youth of today have a cause. Let’s hope they seize it and put Canada back on track!

I, as a brazilian student, support this cause. For the freedom of speech, for the freedom of a people. Orientalism legitimates the neocolonization that we see everyday on the news, masked by inomplete point of views and financial and political interests. We need – they need – to be heard.

Here’s an idea: Why don’t you all call for the defense of freedom of speech without employing hate speech while initmidating and harrassing Jewish students on campus? Maybe then your cause would be taken a little more seriously…

As they say, “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”
