What I saw In Israel & Why The Canadian Media Won't Show It: An Insightful Conversation With Cory Morgan, Journalist & Columnist With The Western Standard

Despite the barrage of pro-Palestinian propaganda being presented on social media - and in the traditional news media as well - there has never been a substitute for the unvarnished truth, and that means seeing the reality first-hand. Cory Morgan recently had a chance to do exactly that. The journalist and columnist for The Western Standard recently visited Israel with the Exigent Foundation, where he was able to get a picture that Canadians rarely see, read or hear from their news media. Cory joined us as a guest this week to discuss what he saw, the impact it had on him, and why so many news outlets fail - or refuse - to provide that same picture to Canadians.

After The Indigo Store Was Attacked By Anti-Israel Activists, Here's How I'm Fighting Back: An Insightful Conversation With Lawyer Bryant Greenbaum

When a Toronto bookstore owned by Jewish philanthropist Heather Reisman was vandalized by anti-Israel extremists in late 2023, one of the perpetrators, a licensed immigration consultant named Mac Scott, received only a warning from his professional regulator, even after an admission of guilt.

Why One Man Refuses To Cede The Streets To Extremists; A Fireside Chat With Avi Attali

After two years of extremist anti-Israel demonstrations, often found in downtown cores, many pro-Israel events have come to avoid those areas altogether, effectively ceding them. Avi Attali was not prepared to make that happen. The Toronto resident, along with a group of volunteers, has planned and executed a number of rallies for Israel and to raise awareness for the hostages, primarily based in downtown Toronto, with some of these events attracting thousands of attendees. Avi joins us this week to tell us why he thinks such events are so critical, what motivates him to put them together, and what the lesson is for all supporters of Israel.
