B.C. Judge Dismisses 'I [Heart] Hamas' Sticker Defamation Suit

  • A B.C. judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit by Matthew Cheesman regarding 'I Hamas' stickers, stating he was not personally named on them, and thus was not harmed.
  • The stickers were falsely attributed to the University of British Columbia Social Justice Centre, created by student Adam Dobrer of Hillel B.C. Society.
  • Justice Elin Sigurdson noted that while the stickers damaged the Social Justice Centre's reputation, they did not refer to Cheesman himself.
  • Cheesman claimed the stickers caused him distress and confusion, but the court ruled he had no valid complaint without the Social Justice Centre as a plaintiff.
