Your Land Acknowledgment Is Not Enough
Land acknowledgment without action is an empty gesture, exculpatory and self-serving.

No no. No, we won't be doing that. We won't be brushing the last two years under the carpet just because there is a current ceasefire. This is appalling, Israel should not be allowed to participate until Palestine is free and Netanyahu is behind bars for war crimes, where he belongs.

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.
Oh yes, this is clearly now.

This is an excellent OpEd that Canadians need to read and to understand.
