  • Modest Proposal to Prevent Hurt Feelings over Demos against Genocide by Israel

    According to a Parliamentary Commission Jewish students are feeling “unsafe” on Canadian campuses. Last week a House of Commons justice committee hearing instigated by Liberal MP Anthony Housefather heard from a half dozen students about how difficult life has become as their peers criticize Israel’s holocaust in Gaza. As the Grind’s Dave Gray-Donald pointed out, […]

  • Has Zionism Caused the Destruction of the Jews?

    The proven danger of two million Gazans, blasted from their homes and struggling to find survival, is being overshadowed by unproven “safety concerns” for a relatively few Jewish college students who argue they are harmed by careless words and show no physical injuries. News reports reveal malicious intent and media complicity — divert the protests […]

  • Canadians Promoting Genocide

    In the name of protecting Canadian Jews many are promoting the cultural and physical erasure of a faraway people. Recently there’s been a push to suppress a traditional Palestinian garment. To the delight of many, the speaker of the Ontario legislature banned kaffiyehs from the provincial assembly. In a sign of support for this racist […]

  • Israel Faces Its Detractors

    The Israel that many admired through a myopic lens has been brought into improved focus, a ruthless state that has similar characteristics to the Nazi state — virulent nationalist, irredentist, militarist, racist, repressive in occupied territories, ethnic superiority, thought control, and genocidal. One major difference between the Nazi Germany and apartheid Israel is that Nazi […]

  • Genocide is Genocide

    Genocide is Genocide

    What more can one say about the genocide in Gaza that hasn’t already been said? Special thanks to Ali Abunimah, Max Blumenthal, even Pierce Morgan, and others who break through the legacy media bubble and report what’s happening on the ground and the real history, not a sanitized, Hollywood version of it, like the movie […]

  • Who Should We Blame for Israel’s Actions?

    It’s not often I agree with opinions expressed in the pro-business, pro-Conservative Party and self-proclaimed Canada’s national newspaper. But the editorial board written piece, which appeared Friday in the Globe and Mail makes an important point, captured in the following sentence concerning their suggested motion for the House of Commons. “We’ve taken the liberty of […]

  • The World Stands Still and its Inhabitants Spin

    From battlefields to legislative arenas, and to Academy Awards, it is difficult to reconcile reality with the manner in which events are presented to the public. The world stands still and its Inhabitants spin. Battlefield The Trump administration’s State Department declared, “The Chinese government is committing genocide and crimes against humanity through its wide-scale repression […]

  • Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part II

    Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part II

    Summary of Part I  After briefly reviewing the theories of the relationship between religion and nationalism, I find the theories of Anthony Smith, George Mosse and Adrian Hutchinson the most compelling. They all agree that religion provides the propagandistic foundation for nationalism. But I also claim that it is a particular kind of religion, monotheism, that is […]

  • The New Sicarii

    There is no escape — the world identifies Jews with genocide of the Palestinian people and will not allow the Zionists to continue to play victim. Israel calls itself a Jewish state and millions of Jews throughout the world voice praises for that state. Having foreign Jews acquiesce to the slaughter of innocents generates additional […]

  • The Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part I 

    The Monotheistic Roots of Nationalism Part I 

    Do religion and nationalism compete with each other? Do they replace each other? Do they amplify each other and drive each other forward? Do they exist in symbiosis? Theorists of nationalism have struggled with this question. At one extreme of the spectrum is the early work of Elie Kedourie (1960), who argued that nationalism is a modern, […]
