Dania Majid spread hatred of Israel at the pro-Hamas encampment at UofT in June 2024. She has expressed support for Hamas terrorism.
On June 6, 2024, Majid spread [00:37:53] hatred of Israel while speaking during a press conference at the UofT encampment.
During her speech, Majid said [00:37:53]: “The starting point of any discussion is, of what is happening here at the University of Toronto, is the 76 years of Nakba, a catastrophic genocide that continues in Gaza…”
The modern State of Israel was founded 76 years earlier, in 1948.
The term “Nakba” is generally translated as “catastrophe” in Arabic, referring to the outcome of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It is a term used to delegitimize the creation of the State of Israel by drawing a comparison to the Holocaust, known in Hebrew as the Shoah, meaning “catastrophe.”
In the same speech, Majid also defended [00:40:45] the use of slogans calling for violence against and destruction of Israel, including: “Intifada,” “From the river to the sea” and “Glory to martyrs.”
The term “intifada,” which translates from Arabic as “uprising” or “insurrection,” carries the connotation of violence. Palestinian intifadas waged against Israel have been marked since 1987 by hundreds of hijackings, shootings, stabbings, bombings and suicide missions.
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!” is a chant used [00:02:52] to call for the elimination of the State of Israel.
UofT is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
