By Paul Salvatori I recently returned to the website of the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation (CAEF), which I first wrote about here. On its homepage, I immediately saw more anti-Palestinian racism and disinformation. It […]
By Paul Salvatori Last May I was at a counterdemonstration to the annual Walk With Israel event in Toronto. The demonstration, comprised of pro-Palestinian protestors, walked to a field where part of the event […]
