CPA Chair Hanna Kawas delves into Canada’s “terrorist list” and how the Zionist lobby was instrumental in having Palestinian and Lebanese resistance groups banned as such. Both the U.S. and Canadian governments are quick to remind us that they have designated these groups are “terrorist entities”, as they justify Israel’s extrajudicial assassinations that also murder hundreds (perhaps thousands) of civilians.
This presentation was part of the Right to Resist Meeting held May 8 in Vancouver, highlighting the repression globally and in Canada of pro-Palestine advocacy.… Read more

Why I Hate Zionism and its Backers More than Ever!
by Marion Kawas
Two months into the Gaza genocide, I wrote an article about why I hated the cruel ideology of Zionism and everything it had done to the Palestinian people. At that point, most activists could not imagine that this genocide would now be close to reaching its one-year anniversary. And that almost one year on, we would still be seeing the images of headless children, bodies draped off the edges of buildings, as well as humiliated and tortured prisoners proudly displayed by their captors.… Read more
Support the students at Vancouver Island University!
We stand in solidarity with the steadfast students of Vancouver Island University VIU. As they mark over 100 days of their encampment, VIU has filed a shameful lawsuit against their students instead of engaging in discourse to address their complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Zionism and its lobby groups are bankrupt!
Future historians will study how a settler colonial regime, engaged in a vicious genocide, managed to promote the false narrative of themselves as the “victim”. Academics will marvel at how this narrative was adopted and parroted by Western politicians, institutions and the media, even those claiming to be progressive.
They will be dumbfounded how the U.S.-Israeli aggression on Gaza committed massacre after massacre, but would then escape criticism by rushing to recycle some debunked claims from nine months earlier.… Read more
Stand with Dania! Shame on our Political Leaders!
Are our politicians not ashamed of the way they all line up to “pile on” and attack whoever the major pro-Israel groups decide is the current persona non grata? And that they do this within just a few hours of each other? …Time and again we have seen this pattern of rushing to condemn some specific protestor or group. Our politicians, and many of the mainstream media, seem to have no shame when it comes to proving their loyalty to the Zionist project. … Read more
