Cuba Protests Are Convenient For Canada’s Political Elite

When we conceive of violence and corruption as an exclusively foreign phenomenon, we let our own politicians off the hook.

My termination from the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression contributed to the impunity Israel enjoys for its war on truth.

The government’s refusal to accept apartheid is ongoing in Israel isn’t grounded in the facts, but in its material interests.

Postmedia commentators wrote about antisemitism more following May Palestine protests than the 2018 Tree of Life synagogue massacre.

Years of commissions, reports and investigations haven’t been able to undo systemic sexual assault, and that’s not going to change.

These narratives attempt to have the public, media and politicians focus on bogus allegations of antisemitism instead of Israel’s actions.

In refusing to call Palestine by its name, media organizations have further entrenched their pro-Israel bias.

We must oppose Canada’s role in the state violence and exploitation that millions of Colombians are mobilizing to resist.

The goal of ‘both sides’ rhetoric is to rob Palestinians of every means of resistance until they have none left.
