There is no ‘new’ anti-Semitism
Free speech stifled under guise of inquiry

The Link, December 1st 2009

by Aaron Lakoff

Aaron Lakoff is a communications student at Concordia University and a member of Not In Our Name Concordia, a campus-based anti-Zionist Jewish group.

The Israel/Palestine debate has been a controversial topic at Concordia in recent years. However, there is a point when discussion on a controversial issue can be used as a pretext for censorship and repression. With recent political manoeuvring within and beyond Concordia around this issue, I fear that we may be moving in that direction.

"The Bearer of Burdens" painting by Suleiman Mansour

Suleiman Mansour is one of Palestine's most renowned painters. Active in the Palestinian artist community since the 1970s, he has contributed greatly to art education and promotion in the West Bank. He is a co-founder of the Wasiti Art Center in Jerusalem, and is also a member of the “New Vision” artist group, which focuses on the use of local material in artwork.

On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba in 2008, Suleiman Mansour was interviewed at the Palestinian International Academy of Art in Ramallah about the struggles of Palestinian cultural producers over the decades, and what the significance of art is in the face of this historic milestone.

Wow! 3 years, 9 months, and 22 long days after Algerian refugee, and a good friend of mine, Abdelkader Belaouni, took sanctuary in St-Gabriel's church in Montreal to avoid a deportation order, he has finally won his permanent residency status and will be allowed to live out the rest of his life in Montreal!
