I've dedicated fifteen+ years to human rights advocacy on Syria, Lebanon, Armenia and Palestine. The work I do is independent,professional and free of others agendas. I work without a fixed salary.

Phil still either doesn't get it or he knowingly wants to mislead others...
The Zionism he romanticises exists only in his mind and on paper... the reality of Zionism is an ideology of racism, discrimination and obsession with ethnic dominance.
Israel has NEVER been a state that grants equality to all its citizens...
He also clearly doesn't want to acknowledge the elephant in the room... the goal of Zionism is minimum Aravim Maximum Yehudim
I find this so utterly depressing. My Zionism is one celebrates Israel as a state that grants equality to all its citizens. Israelโs Arab-led parties should be viewed as partners towards national healing and regional peace, not disqualified on flimsy pretexts. Israelโs Supreme Court will likely overturn most if not all of these bans. But it should not come to this. A basic moral compass should be enough.

This morning: 180 Palestinians, including approximately 85 children, lost their homes as 24 houses were demolished by the Israeli occupation forces in the ancient village of Jinba, in Masafer Yatta.
In addition to residential homes, the forces also demolished 18 livestock

Sparing a thought for all the Labour, Liberal Dem and other politicians in the UK who fawned over Yair Golan on his visits to the UK in the last three years... where they heralded him as their shining liberal alternative to Netanyahu... showering him with praise...

Today, Israelโs Central Elections Committee disqualified all the parties representing the Arab minority in the Knesset, including our list.
This is democracy for Jews only.
We will fight for our right to political representation.
We will fight for our voices to be heard.
And we will not be silenced.

Israel's Central Elections Committee voted Wednesday to disqualify Mansour Abbas' United Arab List slate from running in the election, as well as the Joint List, which consists of the parties Hadash, Ta'al and Balad. In its decisions, the committee claimed some members of the parties "reject Israel as a Jewish and democratic state."
The decisions may be reversed by appeal to the High Court of Justice, which struck down similar rulings in previous election cycles | Michael Hauser Tov, Chen Maanit, Noa Shpigel and Jack Khoury

Yair Golan called for the starvation of Palestinian civilians in Gaza while opposing Palestinian statehood. At the same time he endorses that Israel is for โthe Jewish peopleโ rather than its citizens. Under Israeli standards, he is considered to be a progressive leader.

Mr. Ambassador, you truly are an imbecile with zero diplomatic acumen.
On July 22, 2026, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to call on Azerbaijan to immediately and unconditionally release all Armenian hostages and POW's.
Representative Joe Wilson voted against it.
Yet here you are shamelessly grinning next to this ghoul who couldn't care less about Armenia and Armenians.

The Israeli government owns an arms factory in Newcastle called Pearson Engineering.
When asked whether the company will be sanctioned, the UK government said it wants to "protect legitimate trade between the UK and Israel".

CJPME filed a formal complaint concerning public posts made on X by @CBC National Radio News Reader @NEWSneil Neil Herland.
Herland posted a thread where he falsely claimed that he was blocked from a synagogue service by Palestine solidarity protesters. However, Herland was on his way to the Meridian Arts Centre, not a synogogue, to see Mark Regev. Regev is a former Israeli ambassador who has served in multiple high-ranking positions in the Israeli government, including as the Prime Minister's Senior Advisor for Foreign Affairs and International Communications and the International Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office.
This narrative was fundamentally misleading to an extent that it appears to be deliberate, resulting in disinformation that defames pro-Palestinian activists.
These are clear breaches of the Journalistic Standards and Practices. CJPME demands that the CBC Ombud initiate a formal review into Mr. Herlandโs conduct, that he be directed to delete the thread, issue a formal retraction regarding his false characterization of the event, and abide strictly by the CBCโs social media guidelines in all future public communications.
