@UJAfedNY So? What's the relevance of any of that? The 1947 UN resolution creating Israel,not to mention the Israeli Declaration of Independence,guaranteed citizenship and full rights to any Arabs ending up in the Jewish state.The decisions of other countries are irrelevant to those rights
@TheWholeNote I'm sure you don't have a huge budget, but maybe you could remind people who submit event listings to update? I've travelled to the alleged sites of two events recently (Tapestry Opera Nov. 24 and Edison Singers Nov. 15) that had been cancelled but were still listed
@RickPerkinsCPC@MarkJCarney Those 5.2 million Palestinians are ALREADY in Israel. Israel has made it quite clear it's keeping Judea, Samaria, East Jerusalem & Gaza. Israel's own maps show that. So you say "resettle," but you mean "must be expelled or exterminated."
@davidblairdt in South Africa.
But instead the Telegraph and Israel have chosen the option of continued ethnic cleansing and genocide, which will take a century to complete, unless Israel sets up some kind of industrialized rapid extermination facility. How can Blair pretend this is preferable
@davidblairdt & other elements of the far right thought democracy that included supposedly inferior blacks would lead to disaster there; today the far right thinks democracy in Greater Israel that involves supposedly inferior Palestinians would also lead to disaster. I say, no more than it did
@davidblairdt Why does Blair not even bother discussing the only remaining democratic option -- granting every human being in "the one-state reality" that already exists, to use a term employed by many political scientists, Israeli citizenship? This is the South African solution. The Telegraph
Canadian companies are sneaking weapons parts to Israel via the U.S.—fuelling genocide in Gaza. Demand your MP support MP Kwan's private member's bill to close the U.S. loophole now! https://t.co/97kAynB4Bo
@GraphicMatt Elliott claims the "real problem" is street design. No, the real problem is that this short street connects Bloor & Keele to the Gardiner & Lake Shore, and so will always have heavy traffic. The word "Gardiner" never appears in the column. If you change the street
@tomfriedman It's not about democracy -- the Iranians can remember when MI6 & CIA overthrew their democracy. It's about expanding the American empire, which you mention nowhere.
@michaelcoren Your Aug. 11 tweet below seems to indicate some sympathy for the Palns -- but your only mention of the genocide in Gaza in this column (with Gaza headline) is to criticize the handful with the courage to protest it! Courage you should be praising, as it was not seen in the 1940s!
@michaelcoren "Gaza has me thinking" -- what? The implication of this column seems to be that Israel has the right to carry out genocide against antisemites. If you reply that of course you're against genocide, then you should have endorsed the only alternative: equal rights.
@tomfriedman Anyone who talks about the two-state solution in 2025 is just covering for genocide. Because it's not going to happen, so that leaves only 2 options: genocide or Israeli citizenship for everyone. Israel has chosen genocide. Why don't you chose citizenship?
@JGedeon1 employed by many political scientists and which is confirmed by Israel's own maps showing a single state from the river to the sea. Then why are there people denied the vote for the Knesset within those one-state borders, exactly as in apartheid South Africa or the Jim

I realize you didn't interview Huckabee yourself, but you should have brought up the obvious point: If even the US, as well as Israel, admits there will never be a Palestinian state, then there is already a "one-state reality," to use a term
@LevittMichael@TorontoStar Equality means you should mention Islamophobia. In June 2024, a high-tech cube van drove around Toronto playing Islamophobic videos, including footage of Muslims praying and messages implying Muslims are a threat to Canada. Possibly someone at CIJA or FSWC knows who that was?
