On August 20, 2019 the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) issued a statement on “glorifying terrorism” by a Canadian newspaper.
Here are excerpts from the statement:
Meshwar Media is an Arab language newspaper published in Canada… In the August 2019 edition, in a poem entitled Our Children are Men!, Dr Abdulqader Faris of Hamilton appears to be encouraging children to stab Israelis. The relevant stanza is below…
Or my knife
From my pocket I take out
With it I stab the occupier
The coward ran away
And hid behind the hill
I don’t care for your bullets
Or your gas bombs
My weapons are onions and vinegar
On March 22, 2019 CIJA reported that Meshwar newspaper published “article glorifying terrorism.” Accoriding to CIJA, “On Sunday, March 17, a Palestinian terrorist carried out a stabbing and shooting attack which killed two Israelis (including a father of 12). In response, Meshwar published an article on its website that twice characterized the murderous attack as a “heroic operation.”
