Enrol at York

Re: Jewish Group Attacks York University, Feb. 18; A Formerly Proud Alumnus, letter to the editor, Feb. 22.

I must disagree with the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal and letter writer Joel L. Hertz about the best way to deal with the current antiIsrael sentiment on campus. I would do the opposite, and encourage both Jewish and non- Jewish students who are willing to stand up for religious freedom, democracy and Israel to attend York University.

Agencies s uch as t he Friends of Simon Wiesenthal should ensure that these students have the support and resources they will need to bring a more balanced view to the campus.

Asking Jewish students to stay away from York plays right into the hands of the anti- Israel faction and will result in a university that is Judenrein.

Some day I hope to again be proud to say that both my daughters are graduates of York University.
