By Yves Engler On Sunday, Canadian activist Bill Sloan and I interrupted a Technion Canada fundraiser to challenge its support of the Israeli military and the role of government-subsidized charities in promoting Israeli apartheid. After […]
By Yves Engler On Monday, I registered for a public talk with anti-Palestinian activist Hillel Neuer in Montreal, Canada. After receiving my electronic confirmation, I headed to the venue with the intention of challenging his […]
By Yves Engler Violating the law by directly assisting a military enforcing apartheid seems of little interest to English Canada’s major media unless they can celebrate it. Recently a Justice of the Peace accepted there […]
By Yves Engler In a sign of the brazenness of Israel’s supporters, the lead organ of Canada’s Jewish community has long received funds from and supported an organization whose raison d’être likely breaches Canadian law. […]
By Yves Engler Montréal is a bastion of Israeli nationalist ideology. People of conscience must disrupt their activities, confronting the reality of Palestinian dispossession and apartheid. At the 125th anniversary of the First Zionist Congress, […]
By Yves Engler On Wednesday, August 31, I interrupted a major funding announcement at McGill to ask the head of the university about her suppression of Palestine solidarity. As she spoke from the Faculty Club’s […]
By Yves Engler Israel has attacked Gaza again and it is time Canadians understood their country’s contribution to the brutal treatment of those living in the 360 square kilometer strip of land. On August 5, […]

By Yves Engler Executive officer at the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (Toronto) Jason Kunin recently posted to Facebook: “It seems that as a result of Desmond Cole’s unscripted calls of ‘Free Palestine’ during a […]
