Why is Palestine Action allowed to operate in Canada? Why? It’s an important question. A British court this week heard about what Palestine Action did on August 6, 2024. On that date, red-suited members of Palestine Action broke into Israeli-owned Elbit Systems in Bristol, England. They’d broken in using a decommissioned prison van as a battering ram, in the middle of the night. The prosecutor, Deanna Heer KC, told Woolwich Town Court: “Inside the warehouse, they set about de

Today Kari Hollend and I are excited and honoured to share that our documentary, The Campaign, will have its world premier at the @docaviv Film Festival in Tel Aviv, taking place May 28-June 5. We will be there for it, too. The Campaign is a documentary that pulls back the curtain on modern information warfare: how narratives are manufactured, how division is monetized, and how digital propaganda is shaping the world we live in. What began as a film about strategy and influe

[It’s no accident that Hamas-inspired viewpoints have captured a generation. The terrorist group’s operatives rank among the most sophisticated users of social media in the world. The rise of antisemitism and anti-American sentiment across the West is something we’ve covered extensively at The Free Press in recent years. New incidents emerge almost daily; last night, anti-Israel protesters gathered near Park East Synagogue in Manhattan, waving Hezbollah flags and chanting “Se

From Adam Marks, podcaster and Boston guy. I really thought he got it. (Not the bestseller part, though!) "An altogether unsurprising but still brutal, devastating, and painfully numbing book to read, The Hidden Hand details the massive, clandestine, and decades-long virulently antisemitic propaganda campaign that is being waged against the State of Israel and the Jewish people, and that there is no doubt a “hidden hand” — Iran, Qatar, China, Russia, Hamas, etc. — that are pu

On November 4, 1993, my then-boss, Jean Chretien, was sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada. He posed for some pictures, met with his cabinet, and then he did two things. They were the first big decisions he made. He went into his new office and he cancelled a $6 billion helicopter contract. And then he cancelled a deal the Conservative Party had made to privatize Terminals 1 and 2 at Pearson Airport in Toronto. Took a pen, signed the papers. Boom. Gone. The cancellation of t

Charles Asher Small is a scholar of renown. His list of academic achievements are too many to list here. A short sampling: over his long career, Small has been associated with Oxford University, Yale University, Stanford University, Tel Aviv University, Ben Gurion University, the Université de Montreal, and McGill University. He’s written or edited no small number of books and academic papers. Along the way, he founded the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and

So grateful to all of you who have picked up the book and helped spread the word. Pretty cool to be on the Canadian and main non-fiction lists, I gotta say.

Twenty years. Twenty years ago today, Daisy Group opened for business. I was nervous as Hell on that day, and on the days leading up to it, too. I had four little kids and one big mortgage, and I couldn’t afford to fail. I’d been a journalist at the Calgary Herald and the Ottawa Citizen, a partner at a Bay Street law firm, and Special Assistant to that Jean Chrétien guy – but there’d always been someone else responsible for the payroll. Not me. So, on May 1, 2006, I becam
