(November 30, 2021 / JNS) Just days before a report concerning anti-Semitism on campus is set to be released, the student union at a branch of the University of Toronto voted in favor of a radical BDS measure against Israel.
The resolution by the Scarborough Center Students Union, which was passed on Nov. 24, says, in part, that it will “refrain from engaging with organizations, services or participating in events that further normalize Israeli apartheid.” That includes “inviting speakers who are representing the Israel Defense Force or support the military occupation of Palestine, the displacement, incarceration and/or killing of Palestinian people.”

On Chinese social media, influencers are sharing photos from cafes they are calling “Syrian style”, decorated to look as if they were ravaged by war. You can take a selfie in front of a dilapidated wall and set your bubble tea on a table that looks like an ammunition crate, all while depressing music plays in the background. The design style, accused of being offensive and capitalising on human suffering, has stirred debate on Chinese social networks.

Jussie Smollett is the ‘real victim’
Defense attorney names ‘real victim’ in Jussie Smollett case as trial begins
Jussie Smollett’s defense attorney insisted that his client was the victim of a real attack as his trial opened in Chicago. Smollett could be sent to prison if found guilty of staging a fake hate crime.
Smollett’s attorney, Nenye Uche, rejected accusations that Smollett had masterminded a fake racist attack against himself in January 2019, claiming the actor was innocent and “a real victim” as the trial kicked off in Chicago, Illinois on Monday.
Uche argued that Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo – two Nigerian brothers who told Chicago Police they had been paid by Smollett to attack him – actually hated Smollett “because of who he is as a person” and were “sophisticated, highly intelligent criminals.”
CBC says you use bad words!
Words and phrases you may want to think twice about using
Have you ever casually used the terms “spirit animal,” “first-world problem,” or “spooky”? It might be time to rethink your use of these phrases and remove them from your daily lingo.
CBC Ottawa compiled a small list of words, submitted by readers and some of our journalists who are Black, Indigenous and people of colour. We ran some of the words by anti-racism and language experts, who said some of these phrases can be hurtful to various groups of people for their historical and cultural context.
FUCK OFF CBC it’s my culture.
