  • Ugly Texas

    Ugly Texas

    My wife’s dad is from Grenada, and we visited there last October. It was an incredible place and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, but, when I was speaking with one of my father-in-law’s relatives, I unknowingly committed a geo-political faux pas. It had been a while since I had traveled to a less commercialized destination and, […]

  • On Cartoon Noses, Antisemitism, and the Slaughter in Gaza

    Once again, the accusation of antisemitism was weaponized to trump both common sense and support for the victims of Israel’s murderous rampage. Last week prominent Quebec cartoonist Serge Chapleau caricatured Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire. The cartoon published in La Presse reads “Nosfenyahou, en route to Rafah.” The pro-Israel and genocide lobby immediately condemned the caricature […]

  • Still No Human Rights for the Poor

    The poor and marginalised have not seen any gains in almost 30 years of democracy. The poor remain poor and unemployment, poverty and inequality are worse today than at the end of apartheid. Many more people live in shacks than in 1994. Those who live in shack settlements continue to be denied access to basic […]

  • The Ugly Origins of Trump’s “America First” Policy

    People’s choice of words can be revealing.  That’s certainly the case with respect to one of Donald Trump’s favorite slogans, “America First.” In April 2016, Trump initially used the term in a campaign speech, proclaiming that “America First” would be “the major and overriding theme of my administration.”  The following year, in his inaugural address, […]

  • An Approach to Mitigate Poverty and Racism

    Papers advancing critical race theory (CRT) had brought to light the historical intersection of race, society, and law. They also documented the benefits of Whites at the expense, suffering and death of most minorities. However, most conservatives and all right-of-center politicians denied that systemic racism exists. On top of that, the mainstream opinion was that […]

  • Delete the Smear Jagmeet, Tell Truth and Help Palestinians

    Jagmeet Singh’s refusal to delete a smear against internationalist, social justice, minded protesters encourages Israel’s genocide. Over 6,000 individuals have requested the NDP leader remove his anti-Palestinian slander, but Singh seems too scared of the fascistic, supremacist, genocide lobby to do what is right. In a bid to deter Israel from slaughtering the 1.5 million Palestinians […]

  • No Good Outcomes for Israel’s True Believers

    No Good Outcomes for Israel’s True Believers

    Israel and the U.S. Empire are playing roulette. They are betting big on red, the color of blood, the worship of power and the logical outcome of ideological Zionism. Zionism has always been, as pointed out by its critics from the beginning, an intellectual current that leads to racism, war and authoritarianism just like other […]

  • What Sort of “Caring” Do Zionist Medical Faculty at U of T Teach?

    An exaggerated sense of self-importance and entitlement, hubris, chutzpah, racism while claiming victimhood and massively flawed thinking are the descriptors that come to mind when considering the 555 doctors at the U of T who signed an Open Statement to the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine (TFOM) from Jewish Physician Faculty. The statement is […]

  • The Jerusalem Post Is Now Enlisting Washed-up ANC Apparatchiks to Whitewash Israel’s Practice of Ethnic Apartheid

    The Jerusalem Post Is Now Enlisting Washed-up ANC Apparatchiks to Whitewash Israel’s Practice of Ethnic Apartheid

    Photo credit: Wall in Palestine/Flickr (CC, image edited) On September 24, the Jerusalem Post published an article titled, “Israel is not an apartheid state, former South African defense minister says.” The article notes that the former African National Congress (ANC) minister in question, Mosiuoa Lekota, served time in prison with Nelson Mandela during South Africa’s […]

  • Canada’s Envoy to Defend Apartheid gets Israel Medal

    Canada’s Envoy to Defend Apartheid gets Israel Medal

    Canada’s special envoy to combat antisemitism is actually a government emissary to promote Jewish supremacy. In a stark example of the Liberals’ anti-Palestinian policies, they have given public resources and prestige to an aggressive apartheid proponent. Last Friday foreign affairs minister Mélanie Joly tweeted, “I spoke with Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and […]
