Michael Saskin attended TanenbaumCHAT, a private Jewish school in Toronto, for high school, and graduated in 2012, according to a year book.
Saskin is listed in an August 2014 post on the Reshet Ramah Jewish summer camp website as a Canadian alumnus currently serving in the Israeli military. Saskin’s Facebook page contains several photos of him in an Israeli military uniform holding guns during this period of time.
Saskin is quoted in an October 2014 article from The Bull & Bear, a student publication at McGill University, about students voting on a motion titled “Motion to Stand in Solidarity with the Occupied Territories of Palestine.” Speaking on the motion after the vote, Saskin, who was an undergraduate management student at the time, said, “The motion would have made the Jewish Israeli population uncomfortable if it had passed. The resolution condemns Israeli actions without even mentioning other actions such as Hamas that commit human rights violations against Palestinians. The motion was incomplete and that why I’m really happy it has been postponed indefinitely.”
Saskin graduated from McGill University’s Faculty of Management in 2017, and now works as an analyst at an investment advisory company in New York City, according to his LinkedIn.
