FrontPage magazine.com: Faculty Union Embraces Jew-Haters by Ed Morgan In a week that saw homes in the suburb north of Toronto's York University covered in swastikas, and synagogues and Jewish cemeteries vandalized in the neighbourhood on the south, the campus itself was no island for idyllic reflection. With clowns to the left of them and jokers to the right, Jewish students were stuck in the middle with York. The campus events [were] sponsored by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 3903, representing all graduate students, teaching assistants and contract faculty at York University. Separate from its collective bargaining activities, the union engages in a variety of international solidarity projects… One student on a solidarity mission has reported to York's CUPE local that he is proud to be working alongside the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine--an illegal organization under Canada's anti-terrorism legislation. According to reports, the presentation last week included yet another rehash of the 2002 fighting in Jenin. The union's speakers did not witness it themselves, but were able to relate second- and third-hand accounts…which have been shown to be false by Human Rights Watch and other objective sources.
