MRU Giving Peace Prize To Anti-Israel Activist Who's Spread Antisemitic Content & Praised Terrorism

Calgary’s Mount Royal University (MRU) is scheduled to present the “Calgary Peace Prize” on May 18 to Mohammed El-Kurd, one of the world’s most prominent anti-Israel activists.

The prize claims to recognize El-Kurd’s “exemplary contribution toward peace and justice,” but El-Kurd is no human rights activist; he has frequently shared anti-Israel disinformation and even antisemitic propaganda with his large social media following and regularly glorifies Palestinian terrorists.

Why is a publicly-funded institution presenting this prize to such an individual, and where is the media coverage?
