OpSICK - Child soldiers

An insightful look into the use of children as soldiers by the Palestinians. Well written and researched.

However, the subcontext is even more interesting. This organization was hoping to open up a chapter in Concordia. Many similar clubs exist, such as Amnesty International and other even more partisan clubs such as SPHR (Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights), Hillel, Liberal Party, etc.

Of course, OpSICK was banned from opening a chapter at Concordia, because they are a "racist organization". Apparantly, even though OpSICK obviously fights against the use of children in the military all around the world, they should have left Palestine alone because that is a unique situation. Unbelievable.
