University leaders in Canada have acknowledged the presence of antisemitic chants on their campuses. During a session with the Justice Committee, several university presidents admitted that chants such as 'From the River to the Sea' are indeed antisemitic. Despite this recognition, there has been criticism over their inaction to address the issue, which has reportedly worsened over the past eight months. The issue has been described as a 'significant problem' by multiple university leaders, including the presidents of four major universities, as noted by MP AHousefather.
