Canadian university professor and head of the Canadian Islamic Congress Mohamed Elmasry openly expressed support for murdering Israelis on Canadian television.

The dean has accepted Elmasry’s “apology” and he will not be disciplined in any way. (Hat tip: zulubaby.)

Mohamed Elmasry was a panelist on Ontario current affairs television program Michael Coren Live last month when he said Israeli adults can be attacked because they all are members of the country’s military.

Elmasry has said he was trying to express the view of many Palestinians, not his personal opinion.

“Although the statements made are indeed abhorrent and unacceptable, I have taken into account the contents of the apology and retraction and your long years of distinguished service as a faculty member at this university as well as your assurance that there will be no repetition of any such statements in the future,” dean of science George Dixon said.

Officials with B’nai Brith Canada said in a statement that the university’s decision not to discipline Elmasry is “unacceptable.” “Surely, Israeli students cannot feel comforted in knowing that a professor considers them to be fair game — legitimate targets for murder,” said executive vice president Frank Dimant.

Dean George Dixon isn’t disturbed by Elmasry’s views. He’s only disturbed that Elmasry stated them out loud.
