While the columnist is entitled to their own opinion, when that opinion steps into the realm of dangerously conflating criticism of Israel and advocacy for Palestinian human rights with antisemitism, while relying on statistics grounded in flawed methodology, it becomes an inflammatory attempt to weaponize the very real fight against antisemitism in order to silence any advocacy for Palestine under the guise of fair commentary.

Instead of presenting the substantive concerns of Canadians and Canadian civil society organizations about CANSEC - that it welcomes international delegations, many of them governments, with well-documented records of human rights violations, and that among the 300+ companies invited to this event are those that contribute to war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, and beyond - this article unfairly frames opposition to CANSEC as a mere nuisance and traffic disturbance.
