#Nakba70
Published in Palestine Chronicle
As we approach the 70th anniversary of the total dismemberment of the Palestinian people and nation, and as Israeli military snipers continue to pick off unarmed protestors in Gaza with the utmost arrogance and impunity, we call on our Jewish friends to say that now is the time to clearly disassociate from the Zionist narrative.… Read more

“Necessary Pragmatism” or Compromised Principles?
By Marion Kawas
The struggle against the Kinder Morgan pipeline is something of great importance to progressives in Canada. However, recently one group of anti-Kinder Morgan activists that are defendants in a lawsuit were criticized for inclusion in their ranks of a Jewish Defense League JDL sympathizer, a person who publicly calls for the total expulsion of all Palestinians from their homeland.… Read more

Christmas Card sent to the Mayor.
Mayor Gregor Robertson:
I would like to make you aware that by equating Israel and its flag with the Jewish people, you are actually promoting anti-semitism and racism, something you claim to be against.
Also, with your insistence on labelling the burning of a homemade cardboard Israeli flag as an act of “hate, racism and discrimination”, you have now ensured that acts of anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab harassment will continue.… Read more

All out for Palestine!!
Friday, Dec. 8, 5 pm
US Consulate, 1095 W. Pender, Vancouver, BC
In an atrocious move that has been 70 years in the making, Trump has declared moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. This is an escalation on a conflict that’s costing Palestinian lives on a genocidal level. It overturns decades of pseudo-attempts at the peace process and is yet another iteration of the colonial project of sewing sectarianism in the region to justify imperialist wars.… Read more
