Norman Finkelstein's blog (you can link to it from our blogroll below) has a post reproducing a brief story from the National Post covering the recent conflict surrounding pro and anti Israel sentiment at York U. What has gone on there seems not unlike previous incidents at Concordia) - just more of the sort of silliness that makes me grateful to be at the U of A, where neither pro nor anti Israeli discourse have morphed into puerile slogans or shouting matches.
What caught my attention, though, was the ironic tagline at the top of Professor Finkelstein's post: "Jewish groups urge those displaying Palestine flags to be deported to [wait for it] ... Saskatchewan".
My advice (totally unsolicited, of course) to Saskatchewaners is that if that proposal is ever made, they agree in exchange for their deporting people who operate boom-cars to Bathurst & Lawrence.
What did Bathurst & Lawrence ever do to warrant inflicting boom-cars on them?

Where did Palestinian groups say that those waving Israel flags should go?
