  7. From fear to solidarity: Canada’s Jewish community and Palestine
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2021
    For Jewish people who are already on edge, social media has created an echo chamber where their worst fears are affirmed and amplified by like-minded people. Suddenly, they’re seeing anti-Semitism everywhere. But it isn’t fear of rockets from Hamas that has got some people spooked. It’s the fact that Israel’s supporters were on the defensive against an unprecedented show of public support for the Palestinians, as well as a changing media landscape where critical opinions about Israel are now leaking through the cracks. Indeed, the traditional pro-Israel consensus that has long dominated the corporate media is now overwhelmingly being circumvented by new social media, where solidarity with Palestine is growing.

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2011
    There are has been an endless road to dissillusionment and enlightment from my original days of Zionism. The Wall, the invasion of Gaza, the incarceration of thousand of Palestinians including children, the night raids against those practising non-violent resistance, the blind eye to the destruction of olive trees by Israeli settlers..... the spraying of high velocity water guns on Gazan fishermen... Israel has indeed shown itself to be absolutely brutal and arrogant and a rogue state not caring to comply with international law. But my identity as a Jew is strengthened because I know that this path of criticism is joining voice with many other Jews: The shministim, the refuseniks, who refuse to serve in the army.
