The Honest Report ·

2024/08/22

The now-dismantled anti-Israel occupations on some Canadian university campuses may have garnered public attention, but they were just the latest manifestation of anti-Israel propaganda on universities.For years, anti-Israel activists, whether in the classroom as professors, in student government, or playing roles elsewhere in faculty have used and abused their authority to promote a fanatical anti-Israel agenda, often veering into Jew-hate. On an institutional level, what steps can be taken to

Across the Middle East, Christian populations are falling everywhere, from Egypt to Syria, Lebanon to the Palestinian territories, except for one place: Israel.Israel's Aramean Christians link their origin to the founding of Christianity, and today, the bulk of their population is in northern Israel, in the direct shadow of Hezbollah. In this week's podcast, we sit down with Shadi Khalloul from his home in the village of Jish, just four kilometres from the Lebanese border. He is the

For many years, anti-Israel activists have attempted to turn Zionism into a dirty word, reframing it from the Jewish People's national movement of self-determination in their historic homeland into a mishmash of everything that is wrong with the world.But Zionism is not just for Jews. In fact, anyone who recognizes the reality that the Jewish People are owners, not occupiers, of the land of Israel can be reasonably called a Zionist. Recognizing this is not only an embrace of historical reality,

One of the most dishonest and yet widespread lies parroted by anti-Israel detractors is the claim that there is famine in Gaza, an allegation spread by news media outlets, non-profit organizations, and more.But the simple, uncontestable, data, tells the truth: there is more than enough food coming into Gaza daily, plus food cultivated within the territory, to feed the entire population with sufficient calories, not just to survive, but to thrive on a Western diet.

2024/07/24

One of the many lessons of the post October 7 world is how vicious anti-Israel propaganda is being pushed, not just in the same places as always, but in venues, platforms and areas which are often least expected.And in the Canadian context, that means small towns and provinces, where anti-Israel activists have attempted to harass, intimidate and bully in order to get their way. But in New Brunswick, they have faced stiff resistance from one vocal provincial politician. Dominic Cardy is a Member of

How Anti-Israel Activists Are Trying To Stifle...

The Honest Report ·

2024/07/10

For months, anti-Israel activists have been cynically usingthe term "anti-Palestinian racism" as an effort to stifle legitimate criticism of pro-Palestinian propaganda, effectively labeling anyone who refuses to adhere to their radical ideology as a racist. The latest front for this battle is inside school boards, where anti-Israel radicals are trying to force their ideology into the classrooms, or more accurately, to strengthen the anti-Israel propaganda that is often already quite

If you're reading the headlines, or the chatter on social media, it would be easy to conclude that for Jews in the Diaspora, it's little different than 1930s Germany: Brownshirts are on the move, and antisemites under every rock.But fortunately, that's not the truth at all, at least in Canada, according to a new study which examined recent data around antisemitism, and found - perhaps surprisingly - very positive results. While there has been a marked increase in antisemitic incidents,

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that over the last eight months, there has been a marked increase in the amount of anti-Israel activism in the news media, on university campuses, and in many other fronts, much of it organized by pro-Hamas gangs.What about the efforts to combat those insidious hate campaigns, particularly on a grassroots level? In this week's podcast, we sit down with someone who didn't just see a problem and complain about it, he took charge and created what is possibly

2024/06/17

While it rarely makes headlines in the Canadian news media, Israel is facing an onslaught from multiple terrorist groups at once. Not just Hamas, Yemen's Houthi movement, and Islamist groups in Iraq. But without question, the most capable of the terrorist groups is Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which, like the others, receives extensive training, weapons and funds from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hezbollah, like Hamas, is a genocidal Islamic terrorist group. But it is far more powerful, and is

The Islamic Republic may be a theocratic totalitarian regime which executes homosexuals, persecutes women, and attempts to destroy Israel, but those fanatical ideologies are not shared by a large majority of Iranians, either in Iran, or in Canada, home to one of the world's largest Iranian diaspora communities.Contrary to the fanaticism of the Islamic Republic's leaders, most Iranians oppose the regime's existence, as well as its dangerous murderous support for terrorist

How quickly the world has forgotten October 7. Not just the brutality and bloodthirsty massacres of the Hamas terrorist attacks, but the significance of them: unmasking the Palestinian terrorist group for all to see, not as a party that can be reasoned or negotiated with, but as a party with whom there can be no compromise because it seeks nothing less than the total destruction of Israel.In early May, I visited Israel alongside a group of Canadian journalists in a weeklong program organized by the

2024/05/22

The facts are as undeniable as they are unreported by the news media: that Israel has done more to protect civilians in war, particularly in an urban warfare setting, than any other military in the history of warfare.Despite a widespread and well-funded disinformation campaign, from actors ranging from South Africa to the Islamic Republic of Iran to professional protesters, Israel is not only definitively not guilty of the crimes it is accused of, but it has taken extraordinary steps to protect

This much is clear: in far too many corners of the news media, attention spans are short. The moral clarity that existed in the immediate aftermath of Hamas' October 7 massacres have dissipated in many places, replaced by a desire to draw a moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas. But the October 7 terrorist attacks aren't just a singular event; they make clear Hamas' motivations, tactics, inhumanity, and perhaps above all: the fruitlessness of negotiating with a group that will

Israeli society has often been called one big family, where in times of crisis, all segments of society come together to pull for the common good. Since Hamas' massacres of October 7 and the subsequent months, that common mission has been on full display, despite Israeli disagreements over politics, religion and more. As the war began seven months ago, launched by Hamas on a Jewish holiday, Israel was in turmoil. Shock and anger soon gave way to a realization that the country was unprepared to

Anti-Israel and antisemitic hate mongers have rarely sought to hide their true feelings, a reality that has been readily apparent for the last 6.5 months around the world.But the response to it by Jewish and pro-Israel organizations have left much to be desired; beyond social media condemnations, little more has been done. Fortunately, there are many options available. Howard Levitt is a senior partner at Levitt Sheikh LLP, and a prominent media commentator on issues of combating antisemitism and

It's a claim that is taken almost as an unassailable truth by a huge number of news media outlets around the world: that some 33,000 people died in Gaza, and that two-thirds of them are women and children. While the source of that claim is Hamas, and its "Gaza Ministry of Health," which doesn't distinguish between civilians and combatants, or those killed by Israel or by errant Palestinian rockets, there is an even more fundamental way to recognize the data is unreliable: by

For years, Israel has accused UNRWA, the disgraced United Nations agency, of ties to Palestinian terrorism and incitement and glorification of violence.But only after the massacres of October 7 did the UN agency, officially tasked with providing aid to Palestinians, get into the larger spotlight. Israel has accused - and provided evidence for - UNRWA staff of participating in Hamas' massacre, and has pointed to a huge Hamas data centre built directly underneath the agency's Gaza City

In the immediate aftermath of Hamas' invasion of southern Israel on October 7, it became evident that Israel lacked the ability to scale up its procurement of military and civilian gear, both for the IDF in its operations, and for Israeli civilians forced from their homes and displaced refugees in their own country.In the face of fast-changing events, one Israeli man, Michael Freedman, saw an opportunity to help.

They enjoy the same democratic rights as Israeli Jews, can vote and stand for election, and hold citizenship as Israelis.The Bedouin of Israel's south are part of this population, and they are unique in their own right, distinct from the Bedouin in Israel's north, the Druze community in Israel, and the Jewish majority.
