University of Toronto faces revolt over meddling by pro-Israel donor​

In a rare move, a major Canadian academic organization is halting cooperation with the University of Toronto because it revoked a job offer to a scholar who has researched Israel’s international law violations.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) council voted Thursday that it would take action over the treatment of Valentina Azarova.

She had been offered the position of director of the University of Toronto faculty of law’s International Human Rights Program last year. The hire was then revoked after a donor to the college – with strong connections to the pro-Israel lobby – objected to her work.

CAUT’s decision – which it calls a “censure” – means that academic staff “are asked to not accept appointments or speaking engagements at the institution until satisfactory changes are made,” the association states.

The association will also refuse to accept advertisements for job vacancies at the university on its website and newsletter, and will widely publicize its anger over the hiring scandal – including bringing its actions to the attention of academic groups in other countries.

CAUT joins a growing list of organizations calling for Azarova’s hiring to be restored.

Israel lobby loses legal effort to harass Palestinian rights activists

US court acknowledges McCarthyite environment for human rights defenders.

In a major victory for privacy and free speech on college campuses, a California judge has ruled against demands by an anti-Palestinian litigant to be able to harass human rights activists.

It marks the first time that a US court “has acknowledged the McCarthyite environment faced by those speaking out for Palestinian rights,” according to civil rights group Palestine Legal, which represented eight defendants, along with the Asian Law Caucus and attorney Matthew Strugar.

For nearly three years, David Abrams had targeted and threatened the University of California at Los Angeles over a 2018 National Students for Justice in Palestine conference that was held on campus.

Abrams’ lawsuit demanded that UCLA release the names of the speakers at the private event, after the university denied in 2019 his request to disclose the names.

On 11 March, the court rejected those demands and ruled that disclosure of the speakers’ names was not in the public interest and “would violate their rights to freedom of association, anonymous speech, and privacy.”

McCarthyite environment? Is that when commies are called commies?
When muslim terror supporters are called terror supporters?

In a significant victory for free speech, a California court has ruled in favor of a Palestinian American activist who was sued for defamation by a former Israeli soldier over a Facebook post.

The suit was explicitly meant to bully, silence and smear activists for Palestinian rights.

The soldier was represented by Shurat HaDin, an Israeli lawfare group with ties to Mossad, Israel’s spying and assassination agency – and whose co-founder led an extremist cell that carried out attacks on Palestinian civilians in the 1980s.

As part of the lawsuit, the group requested that the California court apply Israeli defamation laws in order to attach criminal penalties to their claim.

On 1 March, the court not only rebuked the request to apply Israeli law, but entirely dismissed the lawsuit and upheld the activist’s speech as a matter of public interest.

Palestinian CUNY Law Student Viciously Harassed — Palestine Legal

City University of New York School of Law (CUNY Law) student Nerdeen Kiswani is a well-known activist for Palestinian freedom. She chairs Within Our Lifetime–United for Palestine, a Palestinian-led community organization that builds support for Palestine in New York City.

As a vocal and visibly Muslim advocate for Palestinian liberation, Nerdeen is regularly targeted by Zionist groups who have smear campaigns and false accusations of antisemitism to vilify her.

Since Nerdeen started CUNY Law in Fall 2019, anti-Palestinian students and groups, like StopAntisemitism and BDSReport, have targeted Nerdeen, often by using cyberbullying tactics.

CUNY Law initially released statements condemning Nerdeen (which were later deleted) exposing her to further racist and violent vitriol.
StopAntisemitism and the Zionist Organization of America have filed a Title VI complaint against CUNY in September 2020 based on false allegations against Nerdeen.

In June 2021, after months of student pressure, CUNY Law issued a statement in support of Nerdeen, stating: “the Law School supports the free speech rights of Nerdeen Kiswani, other Palestinian students, and their Jewish and non-Jewish allies, who have been vilified for their activism.”
