On February 15, 2009 B'nai Brith took out an anti-democratic full page ad on the back of the National Post in an attempt to silence free speech and academic debate on Canadian university campuses. The full text appears below.

STOP THE HATE-FESTS ON CANADIAN UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES
 
 
 "Presidents of Canadian universities must demonstrate leadership. They
must come forward to prevent Israeli Apartheid Week, an event that has
become notorious for promoting hatred against the Jewish State and its
student supporters here at home. They must stand up to the daily ongoing
anti-Jewish agitation that has taken root on campuses across the country.
 
 Boards of governors, professors, alumni and benefactors must also act now.
 
A poisoned environment is being fostered where Jewish students are
increasingly intimidated and targeted for hate. In recent weeks, there have
been documented assaults on Jewish students, threats, on-going harassment,
and mob scenes. These incidents are being ignored  by university
administrations and campus security. Police forces, when called to the
scene, all too often turn a blind eye.
 
The pretense that Canada is well is over. When good people do not act,
radicals fill the void.
 
 TAKE A STAND AGAINST ANTISEMITISM ON CAMPUS
 
 **How You Can Make a Difference**
 

• If you are a graduate of a university that refuses to condemn antisemitic
  hate fests, it is time to register your protest directly with a copy to
  bnb@bnaibrith. ca
• If you are a donor to such a university, it is time to withhold any
  future contributions. Inform B'nai Brith of your actions.
• If you are a Canadian taxpayer and want to stop your dollars from
  promoting hate, voice your public opposition at every opportunity. Work with
  B'nai Brith to stop the intolerace.
• If you are a concerned Canadian who opposes the hijacking of campus
  agendas by those promoting hatred, then you are bliged to speak up.
   
  B'nai Brith Canada pledges its ogoing support to Jewish students. We urge
  students to call the organisation' s toll free 24-7 hotline -
   1-800-892-2624 - to report all antisemitic incidents.
