This account of Palestine solidarity activism in Canada delves into these questions through a comprehensive exploration of the movement's diverse actors, approaches, and fields of engagement, as well as its connections to various national and transnational struggles against racism, imperialism, and colonialism. Led by a coalition of students, labor unions, church groups, left-wing activists, progressive presses, human rights organizations, academic associations, and Palestinian and Jewish community groups, Palestine solidarity activism is on the rise in Canada, and Canadians are more aware of the issues than ever before. Palestine solidarity activists are also under siege as never before. The movement advocating for Palestinian rights is forced to contend with relentless political condemnation, media blackouts, administrative roadblocks, coordinated smear campaigns, individual threats, legal intimidation, and institutional silencing. Through this book and the experiences of the contributing authors, many seasoned veterans of the movement, Advocating for Palestine in Canada offers an indispensable and often first-hand view into the complex social and historical forces at work in one of our era's most urgent debates, and one that could determine the course of what it means to be Canadian going forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is it so difficult to advocate for Palestine in Canada, and what can we learn from the movement's successes?
