CPCCA, Campuses and Criminalizing Criticism of Israel http://mostlywater.org/cpcca_campuses_and_criminalizing_criticism_israel

This month, a serious attack was made against free speech in Canada. A pseudo-parliamentary committee calling itself the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism (CPCCA) issued a report calling on the federal government to adopt a definition of anti-Semitism that would criminalize criticism of the state of Israel...[I]ts recommendations aim to silence pro-Palestinian voices, especially on campuses. The CPCCA's biased processes and dubious conclusions...make a mockery of the notion of disinterested parliamentary inquiry.
