Avi Lewis: “Why are we waiting for a smoking gun? We know it’s happening.”

This year I’m reflecting on the fact that we failed to do our part to stop an ongoing genocide committed in our name. There are many other fronts where I have to do the work of repair. But nothing on this scale.

I think it’s pretty ugly to see this occasion being used to score partisan points. I won’t be doing that. It was a personal reflection that I know is shared by many people.

It is an offence to Canadian science, public health, collective safety and common sense. And it is a gift to an oil industry already on track to make $100 billion in wartime profits this year alone.

I did not blame Jews for the actions of the Israeli government, that’s simply untrue.
