A Lebanese terrorist with Canadian citizenship, Dr. Hassan Diab, who was convicted for his role in a bombing attack on a French synagogue which killed 4, accepted a lecture position at a prestigious Canadian university.
Diab was sentenced to life in prison by a French court over his role in the terrorist attack. In the attack, a bomb exploded outside the Rue Copernic synagogue in Paris. Four people were murdered in the attack, including Israeli TV presenter Aliza Shagrir. Twenty others were injured.
Diab fled to Canada following the attack, after being considered the main suspect. In 2008, Diab was arrested in Canada at France’s request. In 2014, following a lengthy legal battle, Diab was extradited to France, but was released to house arrest by the investigating judge. Diab used the opportunity to immediately flee back to Canada.
The trial was then held in absentia, and a court of six judges unanimously found Diab guilty, and sentenced him to life imprisonment.  While an international arrest warrant was issued against him, Diab has not been extradited back to France for a second time.
Despite all of this, Carleton University in Ottawa has invited the terrorist to teach this year, as a lecturer in sociology.
Chagai and Oron Shagrir, the sons of one of Diab’s victims, Aliza Shagrir, called the university’s decision “outrageous.” In a statement, Shagrir’s sons said: “It is outrageous that an academic institution that is supposed to promote values ​​of equality and justice decided to employ a cold-blooded murderer, who was unanimously convicted in a court in France. Apparently carrying out a murderous terrorist act against a Jewish target does not go against the values ​​of Carleton University.”
Israel’s consulate general in Toronto, Canada, Idit Shamir, called the hiring “unconscionable,” writing on X: “Hassan Diab, the terrorist who murdered my friend’s mother, Aliza Shagrir, before his eyes in the 1980 Paris synagogue bombing still lectures at Canada’s @Carleton_U. A French court gave him LIFE for murdering 4 souls & maiming 46. Yet Carlton University rewards him with a teaching position? Every class this convicted terrorist teaches dishonors the lives he destroyed. This isn’t just a failure of justice – it’s spitting on the graves of Jewish victims. Shame on those who enable this.”
