As members of a group fighting for justice and ultimately for the dismantlement of the Israeli apartheid regime within Palestine, Students Against Israeli Apartheid York is opposed to all forms of oppression including racism, colonialism,homophobia, islamophobia and anti-Semitism. As such, we strongly condemn the recent anti-Semitic comments that were made by a poster on York University social media. Anti-Semitism is a vulgar and hateful form of racist, oppression that has resulted in the systematic marginalization of Jews and has led to far-right regimes carrying out some of the most heinous crimes in human history.
