The Ryerson Student Union was set to vote on a Jewish student group’s motion to hold Holocaust Education Week but according to an account from “a member of Hillel Ryerson, students from the university’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP Ryerson) and the Muslim Students Association (RMSA) first called for an amendment to the motion to include all forms of genocide.”
Then they walked out, which was apparently a deliberate strategy to prevent the vote to allow Holocaust Education Week to take place:
Ryerson student Aedan O’Connor, who attended the meeting, told B’nai Brith Canada that Jewish students promoting the Holocaust education motion were mocked by their non-Jewish peers, and that the walk-out was a premeditated tactic organized by local members of Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Students Association. She and other students have since gone to social media to condemn the walk-out.
The President of Ryerson, Mohamed Lachemi, and Administration executives — which included “diversity” officials — met afterward with student representatives to “discuss the incident,” according to StandWithUs Canada.
Tamar Jaclyn Lyons, a StandWithUs Canada Emerson Fellow, wrote about the incident, saying that she was polite and welcomed the MSA and SJP reps as she “lined up to speak at the microphone in favour of this motion,” but was “aggressively told by the president of the MSA and Vice President of SJP to ‘sit down’ because there are too many people with my opinions.”
As tensions increased, the meeting was adjourned. Now, Ryerson’s Aedan O’Connor is “urging the government to intervene,” stating:
“It’s a systemic issue … (on) many university campuses across Canada … Universities are funded by taxpayer dollars and there needs to be some accountability at the government level.”
Back in April, “several hundred Ryerson University students voted ‘overwhelmingly in favour’ of supporting BDS (Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions),” a movement driven by Hamas, a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). Muslim Student associations and Palestinian solidarity networks are generally MB entities, and so should be barred from campuses as promoters of hate, violence and intimidation.

“Toronto university Muslim group accused of anti-Semitism”, by Terry Davidson, Postmedia Network, November 30, 2016:
Voices from Toronto’s Jewish community are accusing a group of Muslim and pro-Palestinian university students of scuttling a vote by their union to commemorate Holocaust Education Week.
The controversy unfolded during Tuesday’s general meeting of the Ryerson Student Union (RSU), which was set to vote on a Jewish student group’s motion to hold Holocaust Education Week events.
According to a member of Hillel Ryerson, students from the university’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP Ryerson) and the Muslim Students Association (RMSA) first called for an amendment to the motion to include all forms of genocide.
But then they walked out, causing the meeting to lose quorum and the vote to die, Hillel Ryerson’s Aedan O’Connor says. “Instead of going through with trying to amend it, they … decided to walk out,” he said Wednesday.
It wasn’t long before Amanda Hohmann, of B’nai Brith Canada’s League for Human Rights, heard from students about the meeting.
She called the walk-out a “premeditated move” on the part of some members of SJP Ryerson and the RMSA.
“When they realized the original motion would likely pass as it was presented, (they) … got up and walked out as a way of removing quorum so that the motion couldn’t pass,” Hohmann said, calling it an act of anti-Semitism.
“There is no other way to characterize this, but (as) anti-Jewish sentiment,” she said, urging the government to intervene. “It’s a systemic issue … (on) many university campuses across Canada … Universities are funded by taxpayer dollars and there needs to be some accountability at the government level.”….

Western liberal elites, who hate Christians are facilitating islamic Sharee’a rules all across the Western world.
Angemon says
What sharia rules are now in place all across the Western world?
mortimer says
Angemon, what they are doing is putting ‘innuendo’ rules in place…such as ‘Islamophobia’ rules. This makes it possible to harass people legally, knowing they will not be convicted, since ‘Islamophobia’ has no legal definition. They are setting up an atmosphere that limits free speech. They want ‘Islamophobia’ rules and resolutions to limit the public getting factual information about Islam.

You are right because islamic sharee’a and islam itself teach to hate the Jews but also let us acknowledge the fact that many of these Western elites who are enabling the islamists and their Sharee’a supramcism are themselves secular Jews. Right?
Angemon says
“You are right because islamic sharee’a and islam itself teach to hate the Jews”
Is that why you hate Jews?

Dear brother Ernie, I am not an anti-semite, far from it my friend. I sure you have rushed to judge me here, my friend! Ernie, as I said the other day, I deeply love Israel, I love the Jewish people, I am a Zionist and I think we can all criticize even those that we love. Can’t we? May God bless you too brother Ernie and may He provide you a perfect healing!
Ernie says
Dear Christianblood , thank you for your well-wishes and for your reaction . I ‘m not rushing to judge you Christianblood , but I’m judging what you’re saying here , o.k. ? It took me some time to react ; I,ve been thinking it over and over again ; I couldn’t get it out of my head , and I still can’t ( get it out of my head ) .

Right, you only say that Israel is allied with ISIS, who is, by your own words, attempting mass genocide of ALL Christians in the ME.
What could possibly be anti-semitic in those baseless accusations?!?!?!
Kathy says
Guys, I think you misunderstood what Christianblood was trying to say! Please read his comment again, what I believe he is basically trying to say is that many of those in the West who are enabling the rise of Islam by their blind acceptance of the lies they are being told, are in fact secular (read “liberal”) Jews themselves – and this also goes for secular (read “liberal”) Christians as well as liberals (read “misguided fools”) from other denominations!
You would think that they would know better than to support a movement diametrically opposed to everything they stand for and one which openly calls for their violent demise – but apparently not!
mgoldberg says
‘Diversity’ is a misdirection for a tribalism recycled- globalism; where there are only oppressors and the oppressed. And guess what the globalists represent. They decide who are oppressed, and those who ‘have’ are, the oppressors. The globablists, the elitists who process this meme, always take from the have’s as contributing to the ‘have nots’
So… homicidists of Islam, are never scolded and seen as the oppressors, for their homicidal attakcs upon ‘others’ but the oppressed of nations that made more of their societies, peoples, economy’s.
And at the university level, where ‘Diversity’ is god, where there is no longer any sifting and winnowing but only correctness, then there is no ability to allow for the evaluation of facts, of history, and the determination of cause and effect, of right and wrong, but only that all views are equally valid, and the oppressed, are so, due to the oppressors.
Nasty, untrue, and in need of exposure.

Selective democracy. These Muslim student associations are the very definition of bigotry and intolerance. Shame on universities that house such scum. I graduated from both Ryerson and U. of T. PC has ruined our educational system.
Angemon says
I’m guessing the only kind of “Holocaust Education” the “Palestinians” are interested on is “how to make another”…
Loison Helmer says
Ryerson named after the great educator Edgar Ryerson who is the father of the Ontario educational system must be rolling in his grave. I think these Muslim students feel emboldened as the president is obviously of the same persuasion. York university is no better. Toronto ,Ontario,Canada has a big problem on its hands
Charles says
This is still incomprehensible to me?
Why oh why, is everyone so damn eager to just bend over and grab their ankles because a few savage, barbaric mutants raise a fuss?
Believe you me, you NEVER SUBMIT TO A BULLIE !PERIOD.
In my experience ALL BULLIES ARE COWARDS. Once they know your will to fight back, they run like rats!
iprazhm says
God will hold these jihadis accountable but until then, Canada needs to do what’s right or fall under condemnation also.
Jedothek says
Note the tactic: Those who walked out lacked the courage and intelligence to argue for their position, so they just denied the body a quorum.

Perhaps it occurred to them that the genocides against Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians and other Christians carried out by Mohammedans might receive a mention.
Hm?
davej says
They are trying to disallow the discussion because they are against free speech.
This what happens when the Marxist Liberals who want to declare everything equal run into a group that is clearly unequal, in the sense that they are intolerant and supremacist. The MLs can’t deal with that, it contradicts their worldview so they just cave in to it.
Once the tolerant tolerate the intolerant we are on the road to Fascism.

It speeds up and is much larger like some tumor as it infects schools and minds . Right in a BCIT Burnaby parking area there were segregated muz butt bend group one Saturday morning. In the summer be construction opened a muz prayer room near an entry way and further down a reflection room.
