14 people telling a journalist they were raped is, imo, too many to dismiss. Especially in a society where shame/stigma around sexual assault is even greater than in the US. Incredible how many people just will. not. consider that their pre-existing view might be flawed.


The CRA must not be weaponized against any community. Attacks against Jewish schools and Jewish camps is an attack against all of us.



The Kremlin claims the Soviet Union “liberated Europe” in 1945. It omits one crucial fact: WWII was enabled by the Hitler–Stalin Pact of 1939, which carved up Europe between two totalitarian regimes. For millions in Central and Eastern Europe, Soviet “liberation” meant occupation, repression, deportations, and decades without freedom. The Soviet Union was an occupier. Russia is an occupier in Ukraine today.

How come Jews make up less than 1% of Canada’s population, yet suffer 70% of its religious hate crimes? In 2025 alone, Canada recorded 6,800 antisemitic incidents. That's 20 a day! And while the incidents keep adding up, the incitement continues. Canada’s government has failed to protect its Jewish community. The time to ban incitement is now.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…
