Why I Hate Zionism and Will Never Forgive its Disciples

On June 6, 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon and the capital city of Beirut under the guise of destroying the PLO Palestine Liberation Organization. This eventually led to the Sabra and Shatila massacre, which occurred even after PLO forces had left Beirut. Protection of Palestinian civilians had been part of the deal negotiated with the US envoy at the time, Philip Habib, but such US guarantees were not worth the paper they were written on. … Read more

Scotiabank Reinvests in Genocide!

Also published in Mondoweiss: After slow divestment, Canada’s Scotiabank quietly reinvests in Israel’s genocide – Mondoweiss

For almost two years, activists in Vancouver and across Canada have been out on the streets demanding that Scotiabank divest completely from Israeli company Elbit Systems. Many sectors became involved in the campaign, from solidarity groups to artists, all to demand an end to this unholy alliance of a big bank with an Israeli arms company actively fueling genocide. … Read more

Scotiabank Preys on Genocide

Scotiabank’s global asset fund, 1832 Asset Management, has a deadly history of complicity in Israeli genocide. A year and a half ago, it owned 5% of Israeli arms company Elbit Systems worth almost $500 million US. Then, it gradually divested some of its shares and at the end of September 2024, it was down to just $118 million. This incremental “divestment” followed activist protests that spanned the country and mobilized sectors from artists to workers to community groups.… Read more

The “two-state” solution is a vehicle for normalization! It’s past time to call out the PA!

After 18 months of live-streamed genocide, after 18 months of useless Western “ceasefire” promises, we must be clear on the principles of genuine liberation. We must re-assess our tactics and be sure that our solidarity work is actually advancing the interests of the Palestinian people and working towards a future free of Zionist settler colonialism and US imperial meddling. 

For some time, we have stated that calling for recognition of THE state of Palestine means nothing more than endorsing Oslo, the corrupt PA and the bankrupt two-state solution.… Read more

Those Complicit in Genocide will be held Accountable! 

#IVotePalestine 2025 

As the federal election goes into final week frenzy, here is the wrap-up report for our campaign demanding to know if politicians stand for justice or for genocide. The paucity of progressive and principled clarity in this election cycle was appalling. We sent our questionnaire to all the major parties for their official response and were not surprised that most refused to answer.… Read more

All Out for Palestinian Prisoners Day


April 17 is Palestinian Prisoners’ day, a day when the people of Palestine call upon the world to commemorate and uplift their people, apprehended by the Zionist entity and the cowardly, comprador Palestinian Authority; many of these prisoners are leaders in Palestinian society and in the righteous resistance.

#IVotePalestine #IVoteAgainstGenocide 

We are close to halfway through this federal election, and Canadian political leaders have hit a new low in their pro-genocide politicking. Liberal leader Mark Carney and former foreign minister Melanie Joly are refusing to answer about the latest Canadian arms deal for Israel, despite their sham claim of halting arms exports; Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is revisiting the old refrain of “I’ll move our embassy to Jerusalem”; Yves-Francois Blanchet of the Bloc Quebecois is praising arch-Zionist Irwin Cotler who is supporting one of the BQ’s candidates; and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has dropped a PR person from his team because she dared (in past social media comments) to compare aspects of the Israeli genocide to Nazi fascism.… Read more

Demand to know where politicians stand – for justice or for genocide!

UPDATE #2: Those Complicit in Genocide will be held Accountable!

UPDATE #1: #IVotePalestine #IVoteAgainstGenocide

Our #IVotePalestine questionnaire* started in 2019 and continues this year, as an independent campaign committed to presenting the difficult issues that reflect the struggles and challenges of the Palestinian people. We do not believe that any single election in Canada will substantially change policy on Palestine, but we do see the educational value in bringing these issues to the public and highlighting the overwhelming Canadian complicity in genocide.… Read more
