“We condemn this resolution and call on the Student Union to repeal it immediately. The campaign to boycott Israel rejects constructive dialogue and solutions that promote peace and reconciliation.

“Israel, the most free and liberal country in the Middle East, is the only democracy in the world whose citizens are singled out and personally boycotted for the policy decisions of their government. It is outrageous that the University of Regina’s Student Union would endorse such a repugnant campaign. We call on students, academics, and alumni of the university to give voice to their conscience by contacting the Student Union and university President to demand the repeal of this resolution.”
