    News Release August 16, 2006

    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2006
    Israel has invaded Lebanon and continues to hold the Occupied Territories in siege. As Canada plays an active role in supporting Israel, it is incumbent on the public and on members of government to have access to accurate reporting. At the Nuremberg Tribunal after World War II, "I didn't know" was a frequent defense. This is unconscionable. At present, there are many sources of reliable information, of facts generally not reported in the media. We reiterate to the media and to members of government their obligation to fully report, investigate, and understand the circumstances in the Middle East when making decisions that involve such profound threats to life.

  46. Why Do Jihadis Seem So Evil?
    Resource Type: Article
    Published: 2015
    The day before the Paris carnage, two suicide bombers killed at least 40 people in a Shia district of Beirut. The week after, two suicide bombings of street markets in Nigeria killed 49 people.
