UOttawa antisemitism advisor resigns following social media post

University of Ottawa antisemitism advisor Artur Wilczynski has reportedly apologized and voluntarily resigned following a series of social media posts he created. CTV News reports that Wilczynski drew anger online for creating posts that celebrated the explosions in Lebanon last week. He later posted to state that he had resigned from the special advisor role. “I believe in accountability. My posts on the Hezbollah/Israel war caused harm & affected my ability to help combat antisemitism at U of Ottawa,” wrote Wilczynski. “My intent in sharing is irrelevant when it is clear many were hurt by them. I apologize.”
