Student Senator Calls for Violence Against Jews
Recently, McGill University’s Student Society gave its full support to a student representative who said he wanted to ‘punch Zionists’. According to National Post, “after McGill University student politician Igor Sadikov last week used Twitter to encourage people to “punch a Zionist,” supporters have defended him while targeting Jewish students who support Israel. On Monday, the board of directors of the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU), on which Sadikov represents Arts students, rejected by a vote of 5-4 a motion calling for his removal from the board. Students attending an SSMU legislative council meeting last Thursday reported that elected representatives declined to denounce Sadikov but stood by as a Jewish member of the council was singled out for her support of Zionism. ”
However, Sadikov recently resigned from student government due to the pressure from his anti-Semitic statements.
