As a lifelong student and educator, I’ve been in academia and the arts for the last quarter-century. I was a witness to the first Israeli Apartheid Weeks at York University in the early 2000s. I’ve followed, and fought, the anti-Israel obsession of CUPE 3903 (York University’s contract faculty union), including introducing a motion to stop them from manipulating their platform to promote non-labour issues on campus. It didn’t take.
