Editorial misrepresents the provincial measures issued by the ICJ

By misrepresenting the case brought forward by South Africa, as well as the ICJ’s initial ruling, the credibility of claims that Israel is plausibly committing genocide is undermined, further upholding the status quo of Palestine’s oppression.

Correction needed to replace "the region where Israel was founded" with "Palestine"

"It would be helpful for readers to understand that her comments are 1.) factually incorrect and 2.) reminiscent of the ideological underpinnings of colonialism in N. America, in which the idea of “Terra Nullius” was used to justify the ethnic cleansing of Indigenous peoples."

RE: "South Africa’s sad demise"

Dodek’s argues that Canada should ignore South Africa’s case as a “mockery of the rule of law.” But Dodek himself makes a mockery of international law as he flippantly dismisses South Africa’s powerful case, and as he tries to distract Canadians and their government from a genocide unfolding before our eyes.
