Canadian Author and Activist
The racist double standards are outrageous. Many Canadian Jewish organizations provide huge sums of (taxpayer subsidized) assistance to a genocidal military, yet a Palestinian Canadian activist is charged with “terrorism” for purportedly verbalizing support for resistance to occupation and genocide. In a major escalation of the Toronto Police Service’s anti-Palestinian repression, the TPS has turned... Continue Reading →
The president of one of Canada’s largest corporations says my asking a leading capitalist about donating to the Israeli military reflects “runaway hate”. Harley Finkelstein’s twisting of the truth would be amusing if it didn’t enable Palestinian suffering and attacks on Canadian civil liberties. Wednesday’s National Post blared: “Canada Promised Jews Safety. Instead, we face... Continue Reading →
Heather Reisman funding armed forces committing a holocaust is the real crime. Recently the prosecution withdrew charges against three individuals accused of posting social justice messages on an Indigo bookstore in Toronto 17 months ago. Seven out of the “Indigo 11” have now seen their charges dropped despite the police raiding their homes early in... Continue Reading →
Over the past year the position has morphed from Canada’s special envoy to promote apartheid into Canada’s special envoy to promote genocide and then special envoy to promote a holocaust. Now Deborah Lyons should be labeled special envoy to promote a billionaire couple’s right to fund a genocidal military without criticism. Last Wednesday protests were... Continue Reading →
Have all Canadians underwritten $180 million of a billionaire power couples’ donations to a charity assisting a murderous military in violation of Canada Revenue Agency rules? How long until the CRA finally shutters a charity it never should have registered? On August 10 the CRA revoked the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund of... Continue Reading →
On Friday I asked Heather Reisman about giving nearly $200 million to support non-Israelis joining an occupation force brutalizing Palestinians. I was violently removed before I heard whether the CEO of Indigo believes all Canadians should subsidize her donations to a genocidal foreign military. At Startupfest, a muscular security agent threw me to the ground,... Continue Reading →
Aggressive pre-dawn police raids on homes and charging individuals with hate crimes for posting social justice messages is legal overreach at best and “thought crimes” reflecting creeping fascism at worst. Truth is Heather Reisman, not those putting up posters, is the one who should have been charged with breaking Canadian law. Between 4:30 and 6... Continue Reading →
Some of Canada’s English language media is claiming it’s anti-Jewish to condemn someone for setting up a charity assisting a military that’s recently slaughtered 5,000 Palestinian children. A leading media ‘critic’ agrees. On Friday morning someone pasted posters with a photo of Indigo CEO Heather Reisman on the window of one of its Toronto stores with the statement “Funding...

The Israel lobby regularly torments people and seeks to undermine their ability to make a living. While increasing numbers of Canadians are wise to their slander campaigns, some progressives still end up aligning with the bullies who have misused the term anti-Semitism to intimidate and silence. The list of good people who have been put... Continue Reading →
A large campaign that forced the University of Toronto to re-offer a job to Valentina Azarova is a blow to the Israel lobby. But her rejection of the position highlights the lobby’s power to torment individuals. A year ago a University of Toronto law school hiring committee unanimously selected Azarova to direct its International Human... Continue Reading →
