Public awareness
Dear Editors,
As a member of Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights at Queen’s, I would like to thank Member of Parliament Peter Shurman for introducing a motion on Feb. 25 that denounces Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW).
While the accusations that the event and its ers promote hate and anti-Semitism are baseless, the Progressive Conservative initiative has done a terrific job bringing to public attention what was once an obscure campus-based lecture series.
The broader public is now aware of our annual event, which charts the ongoing human rights abuses inflicted upon the Palestinian peoples by the state of Israel and sheds light on Canada’s leading role in ing these travesties.
