University of Ottawa Agency Snubs Hillel for "Relationship to Apartheid Israel"
[National Post-Canada] Barbara Kay - The University of Ottawa Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG) has cited the Jewish student group Hillel's "relationship to apartheid Israel" as a reason for turning down a request for funds to sponsor a speech given by Israel Sariri, the head of a Ugandan group working with schools that feed and educate 500 Jewish, Muslim and Christian children studying together. Since the event was not politically controversial, there is no other conclusion to draw from OPIRG's decision than the fact that all Jewish organizations - and therefore all Jews - are guilty by association with Israel and therefore fair game for discrimination.
