Rabbi Brichto argued that the meaning of the word had been so distorted by its opponents that it was counterproductive to continue using it; it had become a gift to Israel-haters who could mask their antisemitism by levelling their invective against the Zionist entity rather than the Jewish state.

Since October 7, there has been a proliferation of students vocalizing their views on the Hamas-Israel war. Most universities are no strangers to differing views; however, the already prominent friction between students has increased since the Palestinian Solidarity Working Group released its Toolkit on Teaching Palestine at York University.
