Take Action: Mount Allison should not be conferring an honorary degree for Deborah Lyons

On Nakba75, May 15, 2023, Canada’s former Ambassador to Israel, Deborah Lyons will be receiving an honorary degree.

Lyons has praised Israeli war criminals responsible for Palestinians’ suffering, dispossession. But the University has not listened. So now it is time to write directly to Mount Allison University to express your outrage, reminding them that while Deborah Lyons was Canadian Ambassador in Tel Aviv she encouraged and supported Canadians joining the Israeli military.
