On August 10, 2025, CJPME media analyst Anthony Issa was published in The Globe and Mail in response to the editorial, “We shouldn’t turn a blind eye to assaults on Muslim women.”
Mr. Issa emphasized that cases of targeted assaults of muslim women at pro-Palestine demonstrations must also be understood in the context of anti-Palestinian racism. He noted that this form of racism, recognized by both the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association and the federal government, is a distinct and growing phenomenon in Canada.
