  • Israel’s Systemic Targeting of Journalists

    Israel’s Systemic Targeting of Journalists

    Tomorrow marks one year since veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by the Israeli military while covering an Israeli invasion of Jenin refugee camp.

  • An Occupying Power Cannot Be a Beacon of Democracy

    As Israel celebrates its 75th anniversary, every Israeli should remember that the occupation stains the country’s independence day and that Israel is not and will not be a true democracy as long as it remains an occupying power I couldn’t applaud and admire enough the hundreds of thousands of Israelis who protested for 17 consecutive […]

    During a cross-cultural activity, a Park West School in Halifax forced Palestinian-Canadian students to remove the Kufiyahs they had worn as part of the activity. The principle justified banning the kufiyah (Palestinian scarf) saying it represented “war colors.” Students who did not comply were sent to the principal’s office. Such anti-Palestinian racism must be rejected: […]

  • A System of Silencing

    A System of Silencing

    As recognition of Israeli apartheid grows, the Israeli regime and its supporters continuously develop tactics to silence advocates for Palestinian liberation, as well as any criticism of Israel.

  • Enabling the Warmaking of Empire

    Enabling the Warmaking of Empire

    It is understood by all that at least two sides are required in a war scenario. One side must be waging war on another side. It is not required that the aggressed side fight back.
