What is wrong with that? People should be made aware of how dangerous
Jews are. They're conniving thieves.

(August 27, 2021 / JNS) B’nai Brith Canada said it wants reassurance
from the University of Victoria (UVic) that an upcoming course on
anti-Semitism will not become a “forum for anti-Semitic views” because
of its professor.
UVic originally offered a course for the fall semester about
anti-Semitism that would be taught by assistant professor Shamma
Boyarin, who has taught religious studies and medieval studies at the
university since 2008. Its description claimed that “even the most
fundamental aspects of anti-Semitism are controversial,” and said
students “will develop the ability to examine both current and
historical instances of anti-Semitism with a critical eye.”
Boyarin called the former president of the Anti-Defamation League Abe
Foxman a “Zionist pig” in a Twitter post in May. In a June tweet, he
alleged that “North American Jews” have “actively contributed” to
“ethnic cleansing and genocide” and “raised our kids to take part in
it.” In a separate tweet that month, Boyarin poked fun at the
experience of Eve Barlow, a Jewish woman who faced online
anti-Semitism during the 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas in
Gaza in May.
Equally, if not more concerning is a personal Twitter account of his
called Motley Jëw. As of Friday, his tweets became protected.
Also on Friday, B’nai Brith posted on Twitter a letter titled,
“Academic Freedom Is No Excuse for Anti-Semitism.”
After B’nai Brith told UVic officials that they felt it was
inappropriate for Boyarin, who seems to be Jewish, to teach a course
on anti-Semitism, the class was changed in early August.
The updated course description now states that students will learn an
introduction to anti-Semitism through “a historical survey of key
texts and moments from Augustine to Luther,” and “the particular role
Christianity has played in developing and sustaining anti-Semitism in
Europe.” However, the course is still being taught by Boyarin.
“Moving this course away from modern anti-Semitism is an important
first step,” said B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn. “However, we
are still concerned that instead of educating students on the scourge
of Jew-hatred, there is a risk—albeit a reduced one—that hostility
toward Jews will instead be promoted.
He said, “UVic must provide assurances to the Jewish community that
academic freedom will not be used as [a] cover to falsely accuse Jews,
as a whole, of contributing to genocide, among other anti-Semitic
canards.
