The Carillon publishes CJPME Letter to the editor
On July 26, 2024, CJPME sent a letter to the editor (LTE) to The Carillon in response to James Loewen’s July 25 opinion piece: “The stain on the Paris Olympics.”
In his opinion piece, Loewen highlighted the double standard of allowing Israel to participate in the Olympics when it is committing crimes against humanity in Palestine while Russia is banned from doing so.
The LTE, which emphasized the double standard pointed out by Loewen, was published on August 1, 2024, in the Carillon.
It is always encouraging to see CJPME’s LTEs published, especially when it underscores the different treatment Israel is subjected to.
