An instructor at Langara College who was fired after praising the pro-Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel two years ago has won her job back. An arbitrator has reinstated Natalie Knight and told the college she should be ‘made whole’ for the loss of compensation. Three weeks after the Oct. 7, 2023 assault, Knight told anti-Israeli demonstrators at the Vancouver Art Gallery the attacks were '“an amazing, brilliant offensive.” Her comments sparked outrage in the Vancouver Jewish community. Knight was put on paid leave and later fired after making more remarks in support of Hamas. The Langara Faculty Association backed Knight citing a tolerance for all views.
