Decades ago when I was a grade school student in Ajax, we were forced every morning to sing God Save the Queen while standing at attention in front of the Union Jack. Then, in unison, we would pledge allegiance to the Queen of England.
How would you like to be handed a crisp $10 bill right after you voted in next month's Ontario election? How about getting a doughnut or even a lottery ticket?
This essay examines the role of Western and regional players (i.e. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar) in inflaming the conflict and the growth of terrorism in Syria. It examines the attempts to break up Syria's civilian and military institutions, the delegitimization of the Syrian government, the attempts to procure a UN mandate for a military intervention in Syria, the imposition of suffocating economic sanctions on Syria, and most importantly the support that Western and regional powers gave to a plethora of armed groups, including al-Qaeda and ISIS, to fight the Syrian government. The latter point is scrutinized in order to highlight how the United States, and its allies in the region, cynically employed extremist groups in Syria to achieve geopolitical gains, thus leading to wider regional upheaval, the effects of which will most certainly go beyond the West Asia region.

Montreal, February 23, 2016 - In light of the passage of Parliament's "anti-BDS" motion on Monday, the President of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME), Mr. Thomas Woodley, announced that he awaits his condemnation by the Trudeau Liberals. "I've realized that being condemned by Canada's government, merely for supporting the human rights of Palestinians, might be the most admirable thing I'll accomplish in my life," wrote Woodley in a letter to the government, as he awaited news of his condemnation. As leader of a non-profit actively promoting BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel) as an economic tool to encourage Israel to respect the human rights of Palestinians, Woodley assumes he is near the top of the list for condemnation.
