For reasons known only to government officials, the Harper government's Office of Religious Freedom (ORF) - which is supposed to be a central plank of Canadian foreign policy - is being instituted under a cloak of secrecy.
(Toronto) Amira Hass - the daughter of Holocaust survivors - a reporter and columnist for the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz says she is the only Israeli Jewish journalist living and working in the occupied Palestinian territories. Now based in the city of Ramallah, she has lived in the West Bank since 1997 and in Gaza for four years before that.
Irving Waller is a distinguished criminology professor at the University of Ottawa. He was asked what he thought of the Conservatives' omnibus crimes bill, the Safe Streets and Communities Act. "I was surprised," he said, "that Minister of Justice Victor Toews used some real statistics for his case." He was referring to Toews' citing 400,000 violent crimes and 200,000 break-and-enters at a cost of $14 billion in tangible losses and another $68 billion in other losses.
In the past decade, Washington has killed, maimed, dislocated, and made widows and orphans millions of Muslims in six countries, all in the name of the "war on terror." Washington's attacks on the countries constitute naked aggression and impact primarily civilian populations and infrastructure and, thereby, constitutes war crimes under law. Nazis were executed precisely for what Washington is doing today.
Robert Berstein is one of the founding figures of Human Rights Watch, and for the last several years he's been criticising the group he helped found for what he says is an anti-Israeli bias.

Russia and China's veto of the UN Security Council resolution which condemned Syria over its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters and contained a weak reference to the possibility of sanctions against Damascus proved (again) one thing - that despite torrents of soaring rhetoric to the contrary from our leaders, international politics is not about doing what is right and in the best interests of all nations and peoples, it's only about the short-term, short-sighted, political self-interest of leaders and their governments.
Doctors, psychologists, and other mental health professionals either turned a blind eye to evidence of torture at Guantánamo or actively assisted. That is what Doctors Vincent Iacopino and Stephen Xenakis found in a review of records for nine prisoners. Their findings are published in PLoS Medicine.
Watching the torturous peace process drag on for years and years with no end in sight, both a Jewish Zionist journalist and a Palestinian American journalist have concluded that a one-state solution is the only viable alternative to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
With many Ontarians tired of eight years of Dalton McGuinty at the helm, and Conservative leader Tim Hudak reminding voters of the dark days of the Mike Harris governments, which slashed taxes paid for it by closing hospitals and schools across the province, while declaring war on the poor, NDP leader Andrea Horwath is looking more and more like a viable alternative for those who want change.
