Carlton University is offering a new crosslisted Religion/History course called “Antisemitism, Then and Now”. Professor Deidre Butler (Religion) and Professor Pamela Walker (History) will draw on religious texts, legislation, political propaganda, oral histories and film. It is not known if the rampant Jew-haters on their own campus will be exposed, or will be exempt from discussion. (Photo: Carleton.ca)

Ottawa resident Max Zelikovitz lived to the ripe old age of 100. Three years before he passed away peacefully in his sleep, he and his wife Tessie founded and funded and The Max and Tessie Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa. The Centre promotes scholarly inquiry into all aspects of the Jewish experience.
Thank God the Zelikovitz’s did not live to see what the Jewish Experience on the Carleton campus has become. The SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine) and the Association of Palestinian Arab Canadians declare blaringly on campus, “There is only one solution, Intifada revolution,” they also celebrate an annual, Israeli Apartheid Week, and Graduate students at Carleton University overwhelmingly passed a resolution to endorse BDS.

Most recently, instead of honoring the passing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, the Jew-haters on campus are exploiting her death and rekindling the ancient Antisemitic blood libel.
The literature promoting and accompanying the Shireen Abu Akleh Journalism Award accuses Israel of murdering Shireen in cold blood. Shireen’s untimely passing brings the death toll to 12 Al Jazeera journalists who made the ultimate sacrifice while accepting the risk and doing what they loved. But when Israel is involved, antisemites ignore and dishonor the memories of all these brave journalists.
Jews and non-Jews living in the Great White North need to learn a hard, cold lesson from what is happening south of the border in the “Land of the free, and the home of the brave.”
The recent City University of New York (CUNY) Law School commencement address, approved and applauded by the administration, exposed CUNY’s blatant unapologetic encouragement of Antisemitism, endorsement of BDS, and condoning of Jew-hatred on campus. CUNY’s response was one of disregard and doubling down.
Despite the widespread outrage and condemnation, CUNY has hired known antisemite Marc Lamont Hill who was fired by CNN for his Jew-Hatred and was simultaneously under investigation by Temple University’s board.
Temple University President Richard M. Englert stated, “Let me be clear: Professor Hill does not represent Temple University.” Patrick O’Connor, the chairman of Temple’s board had directed legal counsel to explore options and “remedies,” and stated that members of the administration and board of trustees wanted to “fire him right away.” O’Connor stated that Hill’s comments were “lamentable” and “disgusting. Free speech is one thing. Hate speech is entirely different.”
Despite Hill’s racist history and prior dismissal, CUNY has welcomed him with open arms and an enviable salary. Marc Lamont Hill is now Presidential Professor of Urban Education at the CUNY Graduate School.
Hill has unequivocally proclaimed that a key mission of the Black Lives Matter movement is the annihilation of the State of Israel. “Black Lives Matter very explicitly is talking about the dismantling of a Zionist project, dismantling of a settler-colonial project and very explicitly embracing BDS.” stated Hill.
He has labelled Israel as, “…a land that has been stolen by greed and destroyed by hate,” and stated that Israel was “poisoning” Palestinian water. “We have an opportunity… to commit to… what justice requires and that is a free Palestine from the river to the sea.” says the unapologetic Antisemite. https://canarymission.org/professor/Marc_Lamont_Hill

All humans opposed to racism and bigotry know that his claims of Anti-Zionism are merely intended to mask his Antisemitism. It is plain and simple. Denying my people our right to self-determination as the Indigenous natives in the ancestral lands of our matriarchs and patriarchs is Antisemitism.
While honoring the wrath of Pharoah, the destruction of our Temples, the exile from our homeland, our eviction from Spain, unsparing pogroms, the horrors of Holocaust, and the expulsion of 259,000 Jews from Morocco, 140,000 from Algeria, 100,000 from Tunisia, 75,000 from Egypt, 38,000 from Libya 135,000 from Iraq, 55,000 from Yemen, 34,000 from Turkey, 20,000 from Lebanon, 18,000 from Syria and 25,000 from Iran, Marc Lamont Hill proudly dictates a decree for our demise.
This is no surprise at CUNY, where Palestinian activists applaud our massacres and BDS supporters salute the appointment of Hill.
CUNY is home to SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine) with branches at Brooklyn College, College of Staten Island, Hunter College, and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. SJP support terrorism, commit violent acts against those they label “Zionists,” harass and physically assault Jewish and pro-Israel students, and aggressively disrupt pro-Israel events.

For me personally, the saddest component of the overt Antisemitism at CUNY is the respect it denies and dishonor it affords to the memories of countless Jews who generously contributed to the founding, funding, racial harmony, and remarkable reputation that CUNY once represented.
These individuals include Bernard Baruch of Baruch College, Larry and Carole Zicklin of the Zicklin School of Business, Mildred and George Weissman of the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, Herbert H. Lehman of Lehman College, Paul Klapper of Queens College, Samuel & Ethel LeFrak of Lefrak Concert Hall, Benjamin Rosenthal of the Rosenthal Library, Max & Selma Kupferberg of the Kupferberg Center for the Arts, and many others.
CUNY prides itself in its 14 Alumni and faculty Nobel Laureates. They include CUNY graduate John O’Keefe, Nobel laureate in Medicine, AND THIRTEEN JEWS, which includes 17% of all female Nobel laureates in Medicine.
- Robert J. Aumann 1950 – Nobel laureate in Economics, 2005
- Julius Axelrod 1933 – Nobel laureate in Medicine, 1970
- Kenneth Arrow 1940 – Nobel laureate in Economics, 1972
- Stanley Cohen 1943 – Nobel laureate in Medicine, 1986
- Gertrude Elion 1937 – Nobel laureate in Medicine, 1988
- Herbert Hauptman 1937 – Nobel laureate in Chemistry, 1985
- Robert Hofstadter 1935 – Nobel laureate in Physics, 1961
- Jerome Karle 1937 – Nobel laureate in Chemistry, 1985
- Arthur Kornberg 1937 – Nobel laureate in Medicine, 1959
- Paul Krugman 2014 Distinguished faculty – Nobel laureate in Economics, 2008
- Leon M. Lederman 1943 – Nobel laureate in Physics, 1988
- Arno Penzias 1954 – Nobel laureate in Physics, 1978
- Rosalyn Sussman Yalow – 1941 Nobel laureate in Medicine, 1977

In 1964, CUNY Jewish students Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were abducted and shot dead while fighting for the Civil Rights of Black Americans. The ultimate sacrifice they made is muddied by the pitiful presence and pathetic propaganda of Marc Lamont Hill. So is the memory of William Hallett
Greene who graduated from City College in 1884. Greene went on to become the nation’s first Black meteorologist.
Other CUNY Jewish Alumni include Zero Mostel, Jackie Mason, Alfred Stieglitz, screenwriter Ernest Paul Lehman (The Sound of Music, West Side Story and The King and I), Ben Shahn, Red Holzman, Eli Wallach, Edward G. Robinson (Emanuel Goldenberg), Adrien Brody, Carole King, Simon and Garfunkel and Jerry Seinfeld.
When I attended CUNY’s Queens College back in the 1970’s, a common off-campus sighting was the “Mitzvah Mobile”. Approved by Rabbi Schneerson and manned by his menschkeits, one could take a break to don tefillin, or recite a last-minute b’rucha before an exam. Now, such a sighting would be a target for attack, not a refuge for our race.
Jewish students in Northern America must not fear their choice to wear Yarmulkes, display Stars of David or select Kosher food options. They must not be castigated for praising the Israeli Defense Force, chastised for respecting Shabbot, or penalized for observing our High Holy Days.
The CUNY Graduate Center claims to be, “…committed to advancing anti-racism in its policies”, and “…committed to addressing discrimination and retaliation reports promptly.”
Similarly, Carleton University claims that, “an inclusive and transformational university culture requires an environment free from discrimination and harassment…” as well as, ”Individual as well as systemic formal complaints of harassment and discrimination… are resolved in accordance with the university Human Rights and Procedures policy”.
These statements are blatant lies, and these institutions must be held accountable for their unapologetic encouragement of antisemitic racism and incitement of violence against Jews.
We must fight back. We owe it to the memory of the countless Jews who sacrificed so much and contributed so generously on their mission to make these universities havens of learning, not hellholes of hate!
