A presentation given in Montreal on Wednesday, October 17th, hosted by Tadamon! Montreal & the Quebec Public Interest Research Group (QPIRG) at McGill University within the context of the campaign to challenging Hezbollah’s listing as a ’Terrorist’ Group in Canada.
Brian Aboud, a social activist, professor and academic speaks about the importance of challenging Canada's categorization of Hezbollah as a 'terrorist' organization in Canada.
Tadamon! Montreal:
Challenging Hezbollah’s listing as a ’Terrorist’ Group in Canada [2]
* Create greater space to freely discuss and engage in struggles for justice in the Middle East without fear of persecution or labeling;
* Reduce the vulnerability of migrants subjected to racial profiling and unjust immigration ’security’ measures;
* Confront the demonization of all who resist US-driven policies for a ’new Middle East’; and
* Challenge the Canadian government’s unconditional support for Israeli aggression.
