Spanish university cancels course comparing Auschwitz to Gaza

A university in Spain has cancelled a course that would have looked at comparisons between Auschwitz concentration camp and Gaza.

The University of Santiago de Compostela’s philosophy faculty reportedly organised the course entitled “Auschwitz/Gaza. A testing ground for comparative literature”. However, after backlash from Action and Communication on the Middle East (ACOM), an independent organisation aimed at promoting relations between Israel and Spain, the University reportedly decided to cancel the course.

In the advertisement for the course, it compares images of children in a Nazi concentration camp standing behind barbed wire next to a photo of a woman and child.

According to the International Definition of Antisemitism, “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” is an example of antisemitism.
