Dr. Kuper writes that \u0027there are those who do not only cross over the line to anti\u002DJewish hatred but who do so proudly\u0027

But here in Toronto, a new important academic paper published in the Canadian Medical Education Journal by an insider at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto , has yet to mobilize our leaders into some-kind of serious action. Dr. Ayelet Kuper, an associate professor in the department of medicine, spent a year as senior advisor on antisemitism in the faculty.

For those of us who have been battling campus antisemitism, Dr. Kuper’s paper is hardly surprising, despite its revolting revelations. For more than two decades, I have been arguing with the U of T’s leadership about its allowance of hateful events like the so-called “Israeli apartheid week” and the acceptance of various speakers on campus who spread lies and distortion about the Jewish State, and by extension, the Jewish people.

Dr. Kuper writes: “I personally experienced many instances of antisemitism, including being told that all Jews are liars; that Jews lie to control the university or the faculty or the world, to oppress or hurt others, and/or for other forms of gain; and that antisemitism can’t exist because everything Jews say are lies, including any claims to have experienced discrimination.

The university’s central administration has, so far, been silent. The Faculty of Medicine did issue a condemnation of antisemitism, expressing that “it takes courage to step forward and shine a light on hate. We hear you. We see you and we are with you.” But are these words enough? A better statement would have announced the launching of an internal investigation conducted by an external professional, like a respected retired judge.
