RE: Netanyahu’s game
"Many experts have indicated that it would make no strategic sense for Hezbollah to launch an attack on the Golan Heights. Since 1967, the Syrian Golan Heights have been occupied by Israel. Hezbollah is an ally of Assad."

Surprising that your article does not acknowledge the active participation of Pride committees in supporting Israel’s actions in Gaza through their sponsorships
"The article’s focus on the reactions of Ottawa’s Jewish community without mention of the broader context of the situation in Gaza, where the population is violently being assaulted and going through a genocide at the hands of the Israeli state, is not fair. This context is crucial to understanding the motivations behind pro-Palestinian support at Pride events.

RE: With Hezbollah and Israel on the brink of all-out war, Lebanon confronts its fragile political system (letter to the editor submission)
"Mackinnon's article seems to attribute all of Lebanon's ills to Hezbollah which is unfair. Hezbollah has only existed since 1982 and was created to liberate Lebanon from Israeli occupation, which began in 1982 and ended in 2000."

Re: “Gaza deaths are being used as a tragic pawn” by Gwynne Dyer, July 29, 2024
