The National Post reports in its Thursday, Nov. 30, edition that York University is now witnessing a miniature staff revolt demanding that faculty be allowed to commit pro-Palestinian vandalism without consequence. The Post's Tristin Hopper writes that the inciting incident was the arrest of three York University staff members in connection with the targeted vandalism of a Toronto-area Indigo Books & Music bookstore. York responded by putting all three on leave, and releasing a statement saying that its commitment to "free speech and open dialogue" did not include violations of the law. On Tuesday, 200 faculty and students walked out, calling the suspensions "an effort to repress Palestine solidarity peace activism." The walkout was organized by a "coalition of York faculty." Protesters carrying a banner reading "Canada Stop Arming Israel" also massed outside the Toronto Police's 52 Division location downtown, demanding the charges be dropped. The Post claims York staff are saying that using posters and red paint to accuse a bookstore chief executive officer of genocide is not only "legitimate and necessary," but should be defended by university administrators.
