RABBI WOLPE RESIGNED FROM HARVARD'S ANTISEMITISM ADVISORY GROUP

Liz West is now joined by Rabbi David Wolpe, a visiting scholar at Harvard’s Divinity School who resigned from the university’s Antisemitism Advisory Group followed by federal Conservative Deputy leader Melissa Lantsman.

Last Thursday, Rabbi Wolpe publicly announced his decision to resign from Harvard University's Antisemitism Advisory Group. The reason for his decision in his own words from a post he made on X (formerly Twitter): "the system at Harvard along with the ideology that grips far too many of the students and faculty, the ideology that works only along axes of oppression and places Jews as oppressors and therefore intrinsically evil, is itself evil. Ignoring Jewish suffering is evil. Belittling or denying the Jewish experience, including unspeakable atrocities, is a vast and continuing catastrophe. Denying Israel the self-determination as a Jewish nation accorded unthinkingly to others is endemic, and evil." So, first of all, what exactly is the antisemitism advisory group and what has been Rabbi Wolpe's reaction to the testimony of America's elite universities at Congress on the topic of antisemitism. Then on the program, Deputy leader of the Conservative Party of Canada reacts to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's decision to support a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. Some MPs in his own party disagreed with this decision including MP Marco Mendicino who said: "At present, that would only place in further jeopardy the safety and security of Israelis & Palestinians in Gaza.".

A new real estate policy on open bidding has taken effect in Ontario starting December 1st. The policy will allow for sellers to publicly disclose submitted bid prices. But just because it is now possible to do so, how many sellers will actually want to do this? And, what is even the benefit of this new policy?
