Israel apartheid idiots take Carleton to Human Rights Tribunal...

Yet another reason to disband the human rights tribunal....

Carleton University was only trying to keep campus political discourse civil. Now, it looks as if it will face Ontario's human rights tribunal.

In March, a campus group advertised Israeli Apartheid Week with vivid signs of an Israeli fighter jet targeting a Palestinian toddler. Carleton told the group, Students Against Israeli Apartheid, to come up with something less pointed.

It complied, but complained to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario that the school trampled its freedom of expression. A mediation will likely be held in late September or early October, and, if the parties cannot agree, the complaint will proceed to a hearing, said Yavar Hameed, a lawyer representing the Carleton students.

Hameed said criticism of Israel was a sensitive issue on university campuses, and he didn't know if this case would be resolved during the mediation stage. "The nature of this complaint focuses on the advocacy of Palestinian human rights," he said. "We're hopeful the human rights tribunal will take that issue seriously so Palestinian students and their allies will not feel chilled or marginalized when they try to speak about their basic rights."

But, get this paragraph - these idiots actually want pro-Israeli students charged by the police when they talk back....

On its website, the group said: "In its fifth year, Toronto's Israeli Apartheid Week has seen an alarming increase in harassment, intimidation and physical violence against its organizers and guests. While people who seem to be affiliated with the Jewish Defense League are the primary organizers of the attacks, unfortunately, the student groups Hasbara and Hillel have also joined in, using cameras, physical proximity, and threatening language to intimidate activists, especially women students, calling them 'terrorists' and repeating the accusations of 'incitement' and 'hate speech.' When these incidents of harassment and intimidation are reported to campus police, the police have taken no action."

Look, I'd rather that all Universities would get rid of their speech codes and allow these horrible posters....and allow virtually everything. Unfortunately, the politically correct insist they be protected from the speech they hate.
