Canadian Union Sides With Hamas
I read with shock that Ontario's largest university workers' union is proposing a ban on Israeli academics teaching in the province's universities. This is consistent with Mr. Ryan"s ( leader of CUPE ) position towards Israel and quite consistent with NDP ( New Democratic Party led by Jack Layton) policy, which has embraced the PLO during the days of Svend Robinson and more recently has embraced the Canadian Islamic Congress-the NDP ran an Islamist in the recent federal election. Mr. Ryan also called for a boycott of Israeli goods, which creates a bit of a blow back: perhaps those who do not support Hamas should boycott as many union made products as possible beginning with the CAW.
Hey, boycotts on Israeli goods are becoming increasingly common in Europe and elsewhere in the world, while England has once already came close to boycotting Israeli academics (and will probably do so now). Israel is going to be very unpopular for a long long time... killing innocent people with overwhelming force tends to do that to a country's image.
Well said.
