Articles for June 2004 May 2004 April 2004 January, February, March, 2004 June 29, 2004 Anatomy of a Home Demolition In February of this year, in Israel, I arrived in the Upper Galilee Village of al-Bea'neh a few hours after it had been under siege during a house demolition. June 28, 2004 200,000 people out of bounds They're not building a separation fence here, but rather prisons for tens of thousands of Palestinians...If the plan is implemented, the lives of residents throughout the area are destined to change to such a degree that it will be nearly impossible to live there...Israelis who are in favor of the separation fence neither know nor understand what is currently happening in these neighborhoods. More... June 26, 2004 Position Paper on Canadian Elections 2004 - Canada Palestine Association Since the 2000 federal
elections, many negative developments took place regarding official
Canadian policy towards the Palestinian struggle for
self-determination, the situation in the Middle East, and the
systematic racism against Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims in Canada.
The responsibility for these policies falls squarely on the shoulders
of the ruling Liberal Party. At the level of the New
Democratic Party (NDP), first there were positive developments during
the leadership race and then negative developments the closer we came
to the elections. Israeli agents represented by the Canadian Zionists
succeeded in nominating some NDP candidates and in co-opting others, as
part of a plan orchestrated by Israel and its supporters. More... June 23, 2004 Toward a Single State Solution Zionism, Anti-Semitism and the People of Palestine Unlike many countries, including the United States, the Israeli state does not belong, even in principle, to those who reside within its borders, but is defined as the state of the Jewish people, wherever they may be. That peculiar definition is one reason why the state has to this day failed to produce a written constitution, define its borders, or even declare the existence of an Israeli nationality. Moreover, in this "outpost of democracy," no party that opposes the existence of the Jewish state is permitted to take part in elections. It is as if the United States were to declare itself a Christian state, define "Christian" not by religious belief but by descent, and then pass a "gag law" prohibiting public discussion of the issue. More... Canwest Watch Meet Leonard Asper. He stifles Canada’s democracy by dictating over his 13 daily newspapers, his websites and radio stations, and his TV network that covers 94 percent of English-speaking Canada. His company has gagged, censored and fired dissenting journalists. CanWest has gutted newsrooms and replaced investigative journalism with wire copy, advertorial and drivel. Leonard uses his CanWest empire as a personal soapbox. In his world – the one you likely read, watch or listen to – Palestinians are always murderous terrorists and Israelis only ever act in self-defence. More... June 20, 2004 Racist comments at "Walk for Israel" raised with Paul Martin On Friday, June 18th, members of the Niagara Palestinian Association and the Niagara Coalition for Peace (NC4P) attended the breakfast with Paul Martin at Club Roma in St. Catharines, Ontario. June 19, 2004 Voting is Not Enough Racist Comments at the Walk for Israel All elected officials and candidates from all parties should have walked off the stage when racist comments were made. In light of the NDP’s anti war and pro human rights stand it is particularly disappointing that the NDP candidate did not. June 18, 2004 Why Doesn't Anyone Do Anything? "Mullan describes how numerous Palestinians would question her about why Canadians, who have so many rights and opportunities that Palestinians do not, still refrain from speaking out politically and changing their politicians' views." A Journey to Palestine Why would a 77 year old former university professor, grandfather, happily retired, take off for Palestine? Simply put, I am outraged at the treatment of the Palestinians by the state of Israel.

Freeman-Maloy's expulsion was meant to send a message: challenge my administration's authority, and you will suffer the consequences. Instead, it is demonstrating that crude repression of student activism will always backlash.
