Cancelling Palestine


In this episode of Rise Like Lions, Kevin and Dave explore the high price many Canadians pay for speaking out in support of Palestinian human rights. After a brief history of the conflict, Kevin discusses the ways in which pro-Israel forces use accusations of anti-Semitism to stifle debate. Finally, we look at ways in which people are pushing back against this intimidation and censorship.
