CUPE Ontario to recommend support for ban on Israeli academics in response to Gaza bombings
January 5, 2009
TORONTO, Ont. - CUPE Ontario's university workers committee will bring a resolution to its annual conference supporting a ban on Israeli academics doing speaking, teaching or research work at Ontario universities as a protest against the December 29 bombing of the Islamic University in Gaza.
“In response to an appeal from the Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees, we are ready to say Israeli academics should not be on our campuses unless they explicitly condemn the university bombing and the assault on Gaza in general,” said Sid Ryan, president of CUPE Ontario. “It's a logical next step, building on policy adopted by our provincial convention in 2006.”
Resolution 50, adopted in May 2006, supported boycotts, divestment and sanctions aimed at bringing about the Israeli withdrawal from occupied territories and a just peace in the region.
“Clearly, international pressure on Israel must increase to stop the massacre that is going on daily,” said Janice Folk-Dawson, chair of the CUPE Ontario University Workers Coordinating Committee, whose conference is scheduled for February. “We are proud to add CUPE voices to others from around the world saying enough is enough.”
Ryan and other CUPE representatives will join in the demonstration against the Israeli assault on Gaza at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, January 3 at Dundas Square in Toronto.

А может флэшмоб замутить? Послать им пару-тройку тысяч мэйлов с вопросом: "А почему собственно?" Ничего правда не измениться, но пусть и они помучаются
Лучше послать им пару-тройку тысяч студентов из Исламского Университета - на стажировку, еще лучше на ПМЖ. ;) Это был бы идеальный флэшмоб. И, главное, все были бы довольны.
It is good idea. I will mail and fax this: Can you send them e-mail and fax? like this: I am writing this to explain that your support for Radical Muslim Terrorist organization HAM.ASS (http://www.cupe.on.ca/doc.php?document_id=658&lang=en} will severally undermine relationship between our countries and also will impede scientific exchange between Ontario University and University of "your state" Thank you
