I don't know these particular people, but I know other CPT members, including one who has worked in Iraq; and I did indeed hear from them about Abu Ghraib, and other abuses, long before they hit the mainstream media.

As a member of the Jewish Women's Committee to End the Occupation, I will be in Thunder Bay to support this action.

As a Jew, and as a human being, I am appalled. But not shocked. This is in keeping with what Israel has been doing for decades.

I support this petition. And I plan to bring it to the attention of the president of Ryerson University, in Toronto, who has declared that he is concerned about academic freedom. (By the way, I'm Jewish.)

I support this petition. As you may know, Canada has refused to sign on to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (along with the US, New Zealand, and Australia, which has since signed). I'm not sure about Israel; the Palestinians might or might not be "indigenous people," but the Bedouin certainly are. This kind of event makes it quite clear why Canada refused to sign.
