A pro-Palestine statement that glorifies the recent Hamas attacks on Israel by groups of York University students has been condemned by the University.

“York University unequivocally condemns the inflammatory statement shared by three student unions last night. Freedom of expression has limits and comes with responsibilities. It must never reach into promoting or justifying violence against unarmed civilians,” says the university’s Oct. 13 social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
