INCITING VIOLENCE AT MCGILL

Nearly two weeks after a student politician posted those four words to social media, the McGill University campus remains divided about the blurring lines between free speech and violence.
Igor Sadikov has issued two public apologies since posting the now infamous “Punch a Zionist today” tweet on Feb. 6. The 22-year-old political science student has also deleted the tweet, suspended his Twitter account and says he’s listened to the concerns of students who felt threatened by his words.
But in the face of mounting calls for him to resign from the Arts Undergraduate Society of McGill, Sadikov has been steadfast. He will not step down.
