Today, Jewish students in the Hillel Concordia club room were targeted. Masked cowards banged on the walls, trying to intimidate them through the window by using the fire escape stairs, and chanted “All Zionists are racists, all Zionists are terrorists” outside.
This came shortly after protestors blocked access to a talk at Concordia by a Tel Aviv University professor, something to which the students had no connection. These acts of cowardly intimidation are only the latest examples of what Jewish students on campus have to face regularly. While Jewish students are resilient and strong, it is incumbent on the Concordia administration to hold those responsible to account and ensure that these acts of bullying and harassment are not tolerated on campus. If Concordia truly values the Jewish students at the University, then the administration must act swiftly and unequivocally to ensure these bullies have consequences. The Concordia student code of conduct demands the administration to do so, and the Jewish students expect as much.
