We are grateful to have received a lot of support from the Hindu community following our press release calling on Concordia's administration to take accountability for a blatantly Hinduphobic event that took place on campus on August 15th.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) is leading a campaign demanding that Canada criminalize the glorification of terrorism.⁠

Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) strongly supports this initiative, especially as it pertains to campus. On university campuses across Canada, this problem has been particularly pronounced. ⁠

As the new academic year approaches, it is imperative to address the unresolved issues that continue to affect the safety and well-being of Jewish students across Canadian universities. ⁠

The rhetoric and actions that emerged on campuses last year were not isolated incidents—they remain deeply relevant and concerning as we move forward.⁠

Our #allyspotlight this week is NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.

The NBA great recorded a message for Israeli children whose relatives were killed or taken hostage in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, telling them “I love you” and speaking in Hebrew.⁠

Shaq recorded the video for children at Camp Timberlane, a summer camp in Haliburton, Ontario. In partnership with the Israeli organization OneFamily, the camp runs a program for “Israeli youth who have been directly affected by terror and war.”⁠
