| How a Small Canadian University Went to War on a Professor Because He Said He Stood With Israel |

| [FreedomToOffendSubstack] How One Pro-Israel Comment Led to Suspension, Defamation, and Termination at the University of Guelph-Humber The story being circulated was that Finlayson had been arrested on campus, handcuffed by police, and taken away to jail after assaulting a student. There was only one version - the student’s shirt had been torn, and the scene had ended with the professor dramatically led away in handcuffs. They also said that Finlayson has had many criminal encounters like this in the last five years. The tale was remarkable for its sheer absurdity. Finlayson was known among students as one of the mildest-mannered professors on campus. He had never even raised his voice in class. There wasn’t even a seed of truth; it wasn’t gossip, it was manufactured and sharply focused, deliberate character assassination. He had said he stood with Israel, and the weight of the small university collapsed on him; it was a sin they deemed unforgivable. It was the biggest news to hit Guelph-Humber in years. Except it was a deliberately invented lie. And a lie that could have only started in the executive suite. Within a few weeks, Finlayson was told that the story had already hardened into campus folklore—the sort of tale that, repeated often enough, quietly promotes itself from gossip to "fact." They are all Hamas. They are all Amalek. |
