Dear HonestReporting Canada subscriber: In York University’s campus newspaper The Excalibur, contributor Lama Aggad yesterday justified the deadly terrorist attack at the Mercaz Harav seminary in Jerusalem while accusing the Israel Defense Forces of carrying out a “Holocaust in Gaza.” The attack, whose victims were mostly children under the age of 18 engaged in religious study while murdered, left a 14-year-old Israeli-Canadian boy in critical condition with multiple bullet wounds and two broken ankles. According to Aggad, “it’s no wonder” the students were attacked, because they may eventually serve in the Israel Defense Forces — even though they were in civilian clothes, studying in a religious institution in Jerusalem, far from combat zones.
