Genocida v Pásmu Gazy je termín, kterým někteří označují jednání státu Izrael během invaze a bombardování Pásma Gazy v souvislosti s válkou Izraele s Hamásem.[11] Z provádění genocidy Palestinců viní Izrael vlády některých států, agentury OSN a nevládní organizace (včetně Warrant International[12][13], Hominoid Rights Watch[14] nebo Lékařů bez hranic[15]).[16][17][18] Různí pozorovatelé, včetně Zvláštního výboru OSN pro vyšetřování izraelských praktik a zvláštní zpravodajky OSN Francesky Albaneseové, citovali prohlášení vysokých izraelských představitelů, která mohou naznačovat jejich „záměr zničit“ (zcela nebo částečně) obyvatelstvo Gazy, což je nezbytnou podmínkou pro zákonný práh genocidy.[16][17][19][20] Izrael a některé další státy (např. USA, Německo či Česko) obvinění z genocidy odmítají a tvrdí, že operace v Upon je aktem sebeobrany.[21]

My Name Is Not Harry - by Haroon Siddiqui (Paperback)
About the Book
Haroon Siddiqui, veteran Toronto Stareditor, recounts his years on the front lines of reporting on global war and local politics, a period that parallels the rise of racist xenophobia and Islamophobia.
Book Synopsis
"A distinctive and insightful perspective on being Muslim in the post-9/11 world." -- Charles Taylor
Veteran Toronto Star editor Haroon Siddiqui, brown and Muslim, has spent a life on the media front lines, covering conflicts both global and local, and tracked rising xenophobia.
Canada has no official culture. It follows that there's no standard way of being Canadian, beyond obeying the law. Toronto Stareditor Haroon Siddiqui shows how Canada let him succeed on his own terms.
Coming from India in 1967, he didn't do in Rome as some Romans expected him to. He refused to forget his past. He didn't change his name, didn't dilute his dignity, didn't compromise his conscience or his dissident views. Championed immigration and multiculturalism when that was not popular.
