Canadian Voters Misled by Mainstream Media on Middle East Affairs

Inverness Oran: 7 May, 2025

A recent mainstream media editorial suggests that the electoral losses of certain MPs are linked to their support for Palestinian independence and opposition to Israeli military aggression in Gaza, the West Bank and elsewhere.

The Political Value of Worthy and Unworthy Victims

(One wounded Ukrainian versus 400 dead Palestinians)

Chronicle Herald: 20 March, 2025

It seems the wounding of a recent Ukrainian immigrant matters more to Canada’s mainstream press than the brutal deaths of over 400 Palestinian civilians in killed in Gaza by Israeli bullets, bombs and artillery since the so-called ceasefire was declared. The number of wounded and maimed is likely higher.

“Nothing over the centuries has more often been urged than the social rewards of hardship, urged by those who will not have to suffer it.’

Donald Trump’s failed 2020 Abraham Accords led directly to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. This agreement, initially signed by Israel, the US, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, was ostensibly designed to “recognize the importance of maintaining and strengthening peace in the Middle East and around the world based on mutual understanding and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom, including religious freedom.”

Why Do Mice Vote for Cats?

Hill Times: January 29, 2025

I wonder how the late Tommy Douglas would have responded to a character like Donald Trump? Canada once boasted a bold politician who understood the value of subtle humor and a clever analogy.

Israel and ICC Arrest Warrants

Netanyahu Finally Accountable for his Conduct

Hill Times: 27 November 2024 / Washington Report on Middle East Affairs: January/February 2025

After 61 years of existence, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has finally indicted a pair of Western-backed leaders. It is a pity it took 44,000 Palestinian deaths to inspire such action.
