    Hartman said that she believes McGill should suspend these exchange programs and distance itself from Israeli Universities until Israel fully complies with international law.

    That would require Israel to cease to exist. So long as they have civilian population living on occupied land, they’re violating international law.

    The existance of Israel is illegal.

        Its funny how colonizers assumed “land back” means “treat us the way we treated you” and not “return care, stewardship, and independence back to the indigenous members”.

        How? Jews lived peacefully in Palestine for, what, centuries?

        Former Israelis can live in peace too, when they give back the land they stole.

        Edit: Fwiw, I’m Jewish. My family fled from antisemitism in Russia. While there was pogroms in eastern Europe and the Spanish Inquisition in Western Europe and Northern Africa, the ottomons gave our people refuge. The war profiteers after WW1 and the Zionists created problems in that region, the worst of which was the genocidal and imperialist project called “Israel”.

        Give the land back, apologize, and we might have a chance to live peacefully again with our old Palestinian neighbors
