When Anti-Zionists Glorify Terrorism, CUNY Must Take a Stand
On March 8th, the noted anti-Zionist organization, Within Our Lifetime, saw fit to celebrate International Women’s Day by posting a graphic featuring eleven women honoring them for their roles “in the struggle for Palestinian national liberation.” The chair of Within Our Lifetime, Nerdeen Kiswani, is a current student at the...
An anti-Israel professor teaches at McGill
Most historians of the Arab-Israeli conflict agree that Palestinian terrorism undermined the peace process. Israel tried—in 1993, 2000, and 2008—but extremists rejected negotiations with Israel as apostasy. Samah Idriss, the late Lebanese writer and anti,-Zionist activist, was one such extremist.

Anti-Israel Ideologue Exploits McGill Student Paper Struggling With Its Honesty Pledge
On January 11, 2022, the McGill Tribune published a staunchly anti-Zionist exposé written by senior managing editor Maya Abuali. Her premise rests on the two-pronged belief that Jewish people are not indigenous to the Levant and that Zionism is inherently racist.
