Amidst endless Israeli violence some leftists remain committed to obscuring Jewish supremacist colonialism. In response to an article detailing how Stephen Lewis was “an aggressive Jewish supremacist for nearly his entire life” Alex Grant posted on Facebook, “Yves, why are you so beholden to the term ‘Jewish supremacy’ as opposed to using terms like Zionism...

Stephen Lewis was an aggressive Jewish supremacist for nearly his entire life. Yet in a sign of the Jewish exceptionalism and disregard for Palestinian rights pervading our political culture some are lauding the deceased politician as pro-Palestinian for attending a single protest. In word and deed Stephen Lewis was anti-Palestinian for almost his entire life.... Continue Reading →
Israeli power in Canada is stunning. Toronto cancelling its flag raising is the latest example. On Thursday Toronto city council voted to scrap a decades old tradition of flying foreign flags at government buildings. With half the city born outside of Canada, the practice was supposed to celebrate Toronto’s global heritage. But raising the Palestine... Continue Reading →
Most Palestine supporters in Canada are racist. They refuse to name Israel’s form of supremacism and some will even label you antisemitic for doing so. “A Regime of Jewish Supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This Is Apartheid”, was the title of a 2021 report published by liberal Jewish Israeli human rights...

Mark Carney is assisting Israeli/US belligerence in a slew of ways. From Lebanon to the Gulf, Ottawa is enabling dastardly crimes that could push the region into chaos. On Sunday Carney spoke with the prime minister of Lebanon, Nawaf Salam. The read out noted, “the Prime Minister expressed support for the clarity of the decision... Continue Reading →
Canada has defended every country harmed by the conflict except the victim of aggression. It’s part of Ottawa’s longstanding support for war on Iran. After the prime minister released a written statement and made a public declaration expressing “support” for US/Israeli aggression, foreign affairs minister Anita Anand released two more statements criticizing Iran on Saturday....

There’s a glaring double standard on the self-proclaimed left. On the one hand, no one who proudly proclaimed themselves “racist” would be described as progressive; but on the other hand, some who call themselves Zionists are designated exactly that. One can still be viewed as a progressive liberal while pledging allegiance to a lawless genocidal... Continue Reading →
Mark Carney has backed US aggression against Iran while Pierre Poilievre openly hopes the illegal attack will lead to government collapse. In other words, dominant Canadian politicians support a genocidal ethno-supremacist state of 9 million in its bid to dominate a region of half a billion. After nine days of Israeli attacks that have killed... Continue Reading →
Pierre Poilievre’s most immediate obstacle to becoming prime minister is the perception he’s a Timbit Trump. Yet the Conservative leader can’t seem to stop mimicking Donald Trump’s authoritarian Zionism. On Sunday Poilievre was asked about candidate Neil Oberman saying the Conservatives planned to withhold federal funds from universities failing to stamp out opposition to Israel’s...

It’s significant that Jagmeet Singh raised Israel’s genocide at both leaders’ debates. His Palestine intervention marks a historic reversal for Singh and NDP policy. At both the English and French language election debates, the leader of the NDP pressed Mark Carney on his refusal to label the situation in Gaza “genocide.” In French Singh... Continue Reading →
Benjamin Netanyahu is openly throwing his weight behind Pierre Poilievre. But few are pushing back against this flagrant interference in Canada’s election. On Friday the Israeli prime minister posted, “Canada has always sided with civilization. So should Mr. Carney. But instead of supporting Israel, a democracy that is fighting a just war with just means... Continue Reading →
The Canadian government needs to put the Israeli military on its terrorist list. And no Canadian should assist that organization in any way. Over the past year the IDF has committed a holocaust in Gaza. The IDF has destroyed most of the occupied coastal strip’s buildings, water sources and agricultural land. According to the UN...

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... Continue Reading →
Canada’s arms ban made international headlines. But in reality, Ottawa isn’t severing assistance to Israel’s military. In a first, Parliament spent a full day debating a motion on the Israel/Palestine conflict. The March 18 opposition day motion presented by the social democratic NDP called for Canada to recognize Palestine, fund UNRWA and “support the work... Continue Reading →
It now seems quaint to call Canada an “honest broker”. Ottawa’s support for Israel’s holocaust in Gaza has made the idea seem absurd. In a recent speech Avi Lewis repeatedly referenced Canada’s honest broker mythology. He noted, “can this country ever again claim the role of honest broker when Canada continues to sell arms to...

Canada’s recent vote for a ceasefire at the UN lessens this country’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. But this small victory for popular mobilization was quickly undermined by the government joining the US-led Red Sea shipping coalition and is far overshadowed by Canada’s innumerable forms of support for Israel. With its unspeakable horrors in Gaza Israel has stirred the most sustained antiwar and internationalist mobilization since the (Canadian backed) US war in... Continue Reading →
The mayor of an exclusive Montréal suburb is okay with Israel killing 100,000 Palestinian children since “good needs to prevail over evil”. At a recent event with the Israeli consul of Montréal, I asked Hampstead mayor Jeremy Levi if he supported a ceasefire to release the Israelis held by Hamas. Despite the inner suburb passing...

Over the past three weeks Israel has killed over 8,000 Palestinians and injured 20,000 more. The more than 8,000 missiles Israel has launched into the Gaza Strip have destroyed around 20,000 buildings. Reportedly, the quantity of explosives that have been dropped on an area the size of Montréal exceeds 12,000 tons, which is equivalent to the... Continue Reading →
Should a person who defends and promotes a state that actively endorses Jewish supremacy be called a Jewish supremacist? In the recent Globe and Mail commentary “Canada must rethink its friendship with Israel” establishment commentator Thomas Juneau noted that the current hard-right Israeli government “includes Jewish supremacists”. In response Norman Levine tweeted, “the term ‘Jewish... 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. Yet the mainstream media and our government never criticizes Israel’s effort to destabilize a regime that offers some resistance to its domination of the region. Instead, Canada... Continue Reading →
