Writing about all pro-Palestine protesters in Canada, Brian Lilley states, "We have the equivalent of Nazis marching in our streets day after day, week after week and very little is being done about it." This is a form of anti-Palestinian racism, as defined by the Arab Canadians Lawyer Association, since Lilley is trying to defame Palestinians as well as their allies as fascists and antisemites for opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Even more troubling, Ms. Jabakhanji makes an unfounded and racist assertion that Palestinians watch and celebrate missile strikes on Israel, while Israelis seek shelter in bomb bunkers.

By sharing this link, the National Post is effectively engaging in doxxing, a violation of ethical journalism principles in Canada that risks serious harm and breaches the right to privacy.

"This article contains several biased and misleading statements surrounding the McGill student encampment made by Zionist grifter Ari David Blaff. Blaff defames the students’ protesters as anti-Semites and terrorist sympathizers. His one-sided article demands an immediate response to ensure fair representation of the McGill encampment."

"Benlolo’s recent opinion piece is just another example of the sustained campaign by pro-Israel advocacy groups to muddy the history of Palestine and attempt to delegitimize its history. The article is riddled with hateful falsehoods that must be challenged, below are just a few." Continue reading
