Re: Re: Words from Arij Al Khafagi’s appeal hearing

Dec 4, 2024 | themanitoban.com | Dallin Chicoine

Dear Editor,I am responding to R. Spivak’s letter of February 2024. I respect R. Spivak’s opinion regarding Jewish students feeling comfortable and accepted on campus. However, as one would be advised to be critical of Canada’s history and politics, one should also be highly critical of the Israeli government at this time — especially when the prime minister of Israel has an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity. As well as Yoav Gallant.

Re: UMSU continues anti-Palestinian racism definition talks

Apr 9, 2024 | themanitoban.com | Justin Lewis |Dallin Chicoine

To the editor,I was sad to see, in the article “UMSU continues anti-Palestinian racism definition talks” (April 3), reference to “both” and “each” communities.
