It’s not often that we Canadians get to see a show trial in progress. But we’re watching one now — namely, the public hearings on the Quebec government’s proposed Bill 60, popularly known as the Charter of Quebec Values, which would ban religious symbols in the public service to ensure visible neutrality with regard to […]

It is exceedingly rare that politicians speak clear and unadorned truth, especially today when elected officials rely on slick p.r. advisors and "professional" diplomats in their foreign ministries to crank out "balanced", and "even-handed", i.e., self-serving and often-cowardly policy-statements. Hence Stephen Harper's speech before the Israeli Knesset, and the world, today is truly remarkable: a […]

In memory of Malca – Z”L To this day, the extant “Legionaries” – Romania’s equivalent of the Nazi party – openly publish calls to “Kill the Jews” in the Romanian press. I was 20 years old at the time of the Bucharest Kristallnacht which began on January 21, 1941. I was there. […]

We are now witnessing one of the most dramatic developments in the historic configuration of relations among Jews, Christians and Muslims. Christians in Israel’s Galilee are courageously promoting their pre-Islamic non-Arab identity as an old-new collective Aramean/Aramaic-speaking Oriental narrative.

The American Studies Association’s embrace of “BDS” restrictions against democratic Jewish Israel has been condemned in many quarters. That it is based on ignorance, hypocrisy and implicit anti-Semitism goes almost without saying; that the motion was passed by a small voting minority of the 5,000- member association is less known. But what concerns me here […]

INTRODUCTION Trita Parsi, founder and President of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a long- suspected lobby for the Iranian regime, makes the media rounds pretty regularly.
