Several Canadian universities confirmed that a call for the genocide of Jews violates their code of conduct. Langara College reinstated Natalie Knight, who made comments glorifying the October 7th massacre, leading to concerns about the safety of Jewish students and staff. Knight's reinstatement has sparked outrage, with critics arguing that her views make Jewish students unwelcome at the institution.
Natalie Knight, who called Hamasโs Oct. 7th attack an โamazing, brilliant offensive,โ says sheโs been reinstated by Langara College. โIโve been reinstated as an instructor with no disciplinary actions, which means we won,โ she said. โIt means I did nothing wrong. It means noneโฆ https://t.co/t5jnld3MGj https://t.co/Mvqbmukniw
By reinstating Natalie Knight, @langaracollege is making a clear statement: Jewish students are not welcome. Knight described the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust as "brilliant and amazing." She posted that "she did nothing wrong," citing her reinstatement as proof. https://t.co/ZLdoSzeT4J
Thank you @CBCOnTheCoast @CBCGloria for talking to me about @langaracollege instructor reportedly reinstated after comments made glorifying #October7Massacre. The college has a choice to make. Will it remain a safe school for Jewish students & staff or not?https://t.co/mPJOfDLMV3
Shame on @langaracollege for reinstating outspoken anti-Semite Natalie Knight. Ms. Knight described the slaughter, rape, and kidnapping of over 1400 people on 10/7 as "brilliant and amazing." There is no place for educators with such views at Canadian academic institutions. https://t.co/8hZIqDrSYG https://t.co/H2yuGznM1w

Anyone who holds such views cannot be an educator at a Canadian academic institution. https://t.co/s5MwBQi6uz https://t.co/H2yuGznM1w
All 27 of Canadaโs largest universities responded to the letter on antisemitism on campus that my colleagues and I sent in December. All 27 confirmed that a call for the genocide of Jews violates their code of conduct, regardless of context. https://t.co/uq7E3x7AMl
