OP
This is a poorly written article on a number of fronts. Technically speaking, the writing is unclear. Who is “Pressmann?” This person is never introduced. Why is SPHR mentioned but not Hillel, whom many students were representatives of? Factually, this article is misleading. Who was the AMS asking to not take pictures? It was distinctly Palestinian students being photographed without consent. No mention of the harassment Palestinian students and allies faced during the meeting. This is not unbiased journalism this is uninformed journalism. The integrity of the Journal comes from reporting the truth. It is unfortunate that this news article, and many others the Journal has published this year on Palestine, have failed to report the truth and failed to provide balanced coverage.
OP
Is the racist misconduct toward Palestinian students intentionally left out of this article? Palestinian students were deliberately targeted by other students present. As a Palestinian student described death and displacement within their family, attendees of the meeting laughed. Palestinian attendees were called “terrorists.” SPHR Queen’s posted a public statement detailing this discriminatory experience to their Instagram on November 23. This article worryingly misrepresents the events of the AMS Assembly meeting.
