The Gaza genocide was THE issue.
Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be destroyed.
Yves Engler and lawyers Barbara Bedont and John Philpott discuss Engler's recent conviction for promoting an Action Alert email campaign to the police in response to charges of "harassing" Israel advocate Dahlia Kurtz. They discussed the recent appeal and the implications of the case.
A legal rights organization has documented a “systematic effort” to suppress pro-Palestine solidarity movements in Britain, recording nearly 1,000 incidents over the past six years that reveal an entrenched pattern of “anti-Palestinian repression.”
The European Legal Support Center (ELSC) said it verified 964 cases between 2019 and August 2025 involving arrests, workplace sanctions, visa revocations, university investigations and event cancellations linked to expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.
Working with researchers from Forensic Architecture, the group published the cases in an “Index of Repression,” a public database intended to map patterns across institutions, including universities, employers, cultural venues and government bodies.
According to the ELSC, the incidents reflect coordinated pressure aimed at framing Palestine advocacy as a security concern rather than a legitimate political position. The organization argues that the impact stretches from campuses to workplaces, creating a chilling effect on public expression.
Among the cases highlighted is a student at the University of Warwick who was arrested after displaying a protest sign during a campus rally in late 2023. (more...)
Rights group finds six-year pattern of 'anti-Palestinian repression' across UK
A history of repression in Canada. Yves Engler is the latest victim. Mark Carney wants a Zionist Palestine state. And Canadians see the US as their main threat. And why wouldn't they?
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, author, & theologian Chris Hedges returns to Bad Faith to engage in a spirited debate about how to act now that liberal incrementalism has led to incremental fascism. Why does it feel like so much left discourse is explaining why we aren't ready to act?: Insufficient union density, insufficient political consciousness, insufficient organization? Also, Hedges discusses his viral commentary on Epstein's relationship with Noam Chomsky, why he's not a Marxist, and more.
Champions of the F-35 fighter jet deal were quoted 41 per cent more often than critics.
Canada’s major media outlets have overrepresented proponents of a massive fighter jet deal between the federal government and American arms company Lockheed Martin, an analysis by The Maple has found.
Under Justin Trudeau, the federal government announced the deal for 88 F-35 jets, which would carry an estimated lifetime cost of nearly $74 billion.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, however, threw the deal up in the air in March 2025, announcing that while Canada had already paid for 16 F-35s, the government would review whether the additional 72 jets were needed.
The decision to undertake the review came following U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to turn Canada into the “51st state” and his imposition of steep trade tariffs.
Now, it appears the Carney government is putting down funds to buy just 30 F-35s from Lockheed Martin.
The Maple analyzed 55 news articles and columns published by CBC News, the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and National Post about the F-35 purchase since Carney announced his government’s review of the deal.
Champions of the deal were quoted 41 per cent more often than critics.
Steven Staples, founder and vice-president of the board at the Rideau Institute, said he wasn’t surprised by The Maple’s findings.
“You just can’t underestimate the power of the defence lobby to mobilize experts, academic researchers that they fund, military leaders who hope to retire early and work for defence contractors at some point, or even just ideologically aligned people in government or in the national security establishment who really have a great allegiance to working closely with the United States,” he said.
