It is a moral duty to support the Palestinian cause and denounce the Zionist regime as the shame of Mankind.

The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board should be proud to have such a brave, principled teacher as Ms Shoufani in their employ. As a retired teacher I support her stand 100%.

Ms Shoufani is to be commended and her rights vindicated in this case. This sort of shabby behaviour on the part of a school's administration hearkens back to the McCarthy period in US and, sadly, Canadian history. She must be reinstated with compensation forthwith.

Israel is violating international law and more than one UN decision in its treatment of Palestine. Everyone has the right to speak about this without fear of retribution.

1974 November 29: UNSC Resolution 3246: Affirms the legitimacy of armed resistance by oppressed peoples in pursuit of the right to self-determination, and condemns governments which do not support that right. It is clearley a case of brutality to accuse resistenceorganisations of "terrorism". The states which are doing that do have two agendas

The World is disappointed that "progressive" Canada is being held hostage by the Zionist political extremist who will not allow any criticism against the world planet's most despicable state--Israel.

She was speaking the truth & standing up for an oppressed & brutalized people - surely she shouldn't be punished for this!

I stand by Ms. Shoufani and Palestine. I am against settler colonialism. As reported in the Electronic Intifada: "“Nadia Shoufani has the right under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to voice her political opinions, and she exercised that right during a protest in Toronto this summer,” Tyler Levitan, campaigns coordinator for Independent Jewish Voices, told The Electronic Intifada. “Resisting against an illegal and seemingly permanent military occupation is a right enshrined under international law.” -- Tyler Levitan

I'm outraged at the unreflective, unconsidered action of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board in suspending Nadia Shoufani. Cursory research about this issue and the position Ms. Shoufani took reveals not only her innocence but her strong and admirable moral instincts. How disgraceful that this school board, charged with the betterment of children's education, should have acted so thoughtlessly. On that ground alone I would remove any child of mine attending a school under the aegis of that cowardly and unthoughtful school board. Hardly representative of traditional Catholic values!

Please reinstate Ms Shoufani. Her courageous support of Palestine and its people should be applauded. Free Palestine!

Palestine is occupied by Israel. Resisting an illegal and brutal occupation is not terrorism.
