Double Standard: Canada’s terrorist list, the IDF, Palestinians and the case of Khaled Barakat

Join a discussion about the National Post and Israel lobby’s recent attacks against Palestinian Canadian activist Khaled Barakat and the Samidoun Palestinian prisoner solidarity network. The event will explore how Canada criminalizes Palestinian political life through its terrorist list while supporting the violent Israeli military. More than 10 per cent of the groups on Canada’s terrorist list are from a long-occupied land with one tenth of one per cent of the world’s population.

Organized by the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute and Just Peace Advocates.
Media sponsor: Canadian Dimension
