BDS vote stirs up hostilities on McGill campus

[Mosby]

Since the contentious vote on Monday in support of boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel, many students are saying they have been targeted for their opposition and that social media is now chock-full of anti-Semitic remarks that make them very uncomfortable.

“Little Zionist jewboys not happy that McGill students don’t support their genocide,” reads one post on messaging site Yik Yak, to which users centred around a geographic area can post anonymously.

“No” side campaigner Miled Hill said he knows of at least 10 students who sought counselling to help with intolerable situations. One student was going to police on Wednesday after there was an attempt to hack his Facebook page. One student speaking about the vote after the results were announced was later followed home and verbally harassed.

“There has been name-calling and intimidation,” said Harvey Levine, executive director of the Quebec region of B’nai Brith Canada. “These votes inevitably lead to anti-Semitic events … It’s disgraceful that 500 students can hold an entire university hostage.”

Support the vileness...just the cause. As if that makes a difference.
