NGO Monitor seeks to demonize groups opposed to apartheid and genocide and cut off government funding for any groups or individuals who dare challenge its pro-Israel narrative.

Recently a formal complaint was... Continue Reading →

“Justin Trudeau is and always has been an antisemite”, according to Canada’s former ambassador to Israel.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs’ recent attack against Elizabeth May is farcical. Canada’s leading mouthpiece for Israel criticized the Green Party leader for saying she takes her direction from the representative of the Palestinian Authority, which actually serves as the subcontractor for Israel’s occupation. At an event marking International Day of Solidarity with... Continue Reading →

In recent years Israel has assassinated Iranian scientists, sabotaged its cyber facilities and backed opposition groups. The nuclear armed state has also repeatedly bombed Iranian targets in Syria.
