| Gil Hoffman Attracts Nearly 100 Students at York University |
Today, nearly 100 students at York University attended 'Peace, Politics and Plutonium' featuring senior Jerusalem Post correspondent, Gil Hoffman.
 Mr. Hoffman discussed the current state of affairs in Israel and the Middle East. While he said that a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities should be the last option, Mr. Hoffman spoke in favour of widening economic sanctions against the Iranian Government. All students who were interested in asking Mr. Hoffman questions were able to do so during question period.
The Canadian Network for Israel Affairs would like to thank all cosponsors of the event, including, B'nai Brith on Campus, Christians United for Israel at York, Hasbara at York, Jewish National Fund, Model N.A.T.O, York Campus Conservatives, and York Young Liberals.
We would also like to thank all of students who took time out of their days and made every effort to ensure this was a successful event, including, Adir Dishy, Dara Koplowitz, Chaim Lax, Avi Benchetrit, Raffi Sotto, Aaron Rosenberg, Jonathan Zameret, and Eliana Grosman.
