Open letter to the Unitarian Church of Calgary
Dear Reverend Debra Faulk,
Dear Board of Trustees of the Unitarian Church of Calgary,
Your cancellation of the Town Hall meeting for Oct. 27, 2016, that had been booked by Calgary Friends of the Green Party of Canada BDS Policy, was both distressing and disappointing and ultimately, an act of complicity in my peoples’ dispossession.… Read more

BDS under attack in Canada
The consumer BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign in Canada is one of many fronts that activists are utilizing to help keep the Palestinian issue “front and centre”. Following the motion passed in February 2016 by the House of Commons to “condemn any and all attempts by Canadian organizations, groups or individuals to promote the BDS movement”, it is more urgent than ever that the Zionist lobby not be allowed to intimidate or put a chill on public debate and grassroots actions.… Read more

Ontario’s Bill 202, the most direct effort so far by Zionist forces in Canada to criminalize support for the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, thankfully failed by a wide margin last week.

What is Good Solidarity with Palestine and BDS?
“…But the goals (of BDS) will never fly… there is nothing in the international law for one state, they are not gonna win a public to that, once you step out of your little cult, a little ghetto….I loathe the disingenuous, they don’t want Israel, they think they are being very clever; they call it three tier.… Read more
