My comments to the @TorontoStar on today’s vindication: “I am relieved that these brave students will face no formal sanctions & that their support for Palestinian resistance & opposition to Israeli apartheid was properly characterized as not antisemitic.”

Thanks for your leadership @AlexNeve24

“If we do not demonstrate our willingness to apply the law equally, if it is seen as being applied selectively, we will be creating the conditions for its collapse. In doing so, we will be loosening the remaining bonds that hold us together.”
