He should step down as President of the student association...
The incoming President of the York Federation of Students has been reprimanded for his part in harassing Jewish students...
York University has reprimanded two students who took part in a mob that barricaded Jewish students in a Hillel lounge while yelling anti-Jewish and anti-Israel slurs.
In findings not made public, the university named Krisna Saravanamuttu, the incoming president of the York Federation of Students, and Jesse Zimmerman as having violated the York Student code of conduct for their participation in last February's mob, which contributed to Jewish students "feeling intimidated, frightened, tense and nervous."
The report found that Saravanamuttu and Zimmerman promoted an atmosphere of "hostility, incivility and intimidation." York has imposed sanctions and a reprimand on both students.
In light of the "very damaging assessment" of Saravanamuttu's behavior and his contribution to the Feb. 11 incident, Hillel@York and Hasbara@York are demanding that he step down as president of the student body.

Of course he should step down. He won't because he is misguided by his professors at that school who wallow in anti-semitism. They will use weasely words to say they are not against Jews but it is still genocide that they promote whether they realise it or not.
One can nitpick all they wish but my bottom line is that the Israeli nation has all the right to defend themselves against constant historical aggression in the region going back a century or more in the modern era.
The Palestinians have been used as anti-semitic pawns by the surrounding Arab lands. The Arab homelands expelled the Jews that have lived there since biblical times and before.
Israel absorbed those displaced Jews but no-one would absorb the displaced Palestinians. I support a Palestinian homeland but not in 1948 Israel. Canada accepts immigrants. Why doesn't Palestine?
Now open the hornets nest.
York professors are narrow-minded extremists who cannot stand to have any critical light shed on their 'ideas'. The majority of students sit through all the bullshit indifferently, the Kool-Aid drinkers however are thrilled to have a place where they can vent their hatreds and get positive reinforcement for their hatreds. That's York. Hope they go bankrupt someday, they deserve it.
