Apartheid on campus
July 1, 2021
On May 13, the United States-based online outlet Mondoweiss posted a video on Twitter that showed Palestinian students who were peacefully protesting at Ben Gurion University in Beersheba being attacked by Israeli police. The students were protesting against the forced expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem. As Palestinian students faced similar attacks at Israeli universities across the country, many of them fled campus and returned home.
Member of the Knesset Sami Abu Shehadeh and leader of Balad Party called on the Council of Higher Education and Minister of Education Yoav Galant to protect Palestinian students in Israeli universities. He said, “The protection of our students is a major and important demand for us due to the ongoing circumstances as they feel the loss of safety and security inside Israeli universities and school residencies.”

On Wednesday, Quebec public health authorities denied the Montreal Canadiens request for increased attendance at the Bell Centre for Games 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The Canadiens requested the Quebec government to allow them to increase the number of fans in the stands from 3,500 to 10,500, executive vice-president and chief commercial officer France Margaret Bélanger said on Tuesday. Negotiations had been ongoing since last Friday.
The Canadiens were allowed a maximum of 3,500 people at Bell Centre for their semifinal series against the Vegas Golden Knights the first time in 15 months a United States-based NHL team was allowed to play in Montreal due to COVID-19. Montreal beat the Golden Knights in six games, clinching their spot in the Stanley Cup Final with an OT goal in front of their fans.
