Il était aussi un médiateur sportif.

A conversation with Paul Fauteux, a lawyer and advocate specializing in International Law. Paul is also a former diplomat and has served as Director General in several federal departments, including Environment Canada and Indigenous and Northern Affairs. Paul shares a bizarre and rather troubling story about an incident that he experienced recently. His position as a sport mediator was not renewed citing “lack of impartiality” for sending two open letters to the CDPQ, urging them to divest from Israel. Thank you for listening to the ‘Palestine Debrief’ podcast.

Interlink Publishing is a fiercely independent, Palestinian-owned press—the only one of its kind in the U.S.—that’s been amplifying Palestinian and Arab voices since 1987. Known for bold, uncompromising titles—including bestsellers and frequently banned books—Interlink has remained steadfast in its mission, even as Genocide Bad draws coordinated smear campaigns and censorship attempts.Joining us today to talk about Palestinian storytelling in a publishing world that’s heavily gated and increasingly hostile to Palestinian perspectives is Hannah Mouchabeck—author, activist, and one of the siblings leading Interlink Publishing.Follow Hannah Mouchabek on Insta, X, and Facebook. Order GENOCIDE BAD here.

Joining me today is Yara Shoufani from PYM to talk about the Vote Palestine initiative and platform. The Canadian federal election has officially been announced last Sunday, marking a crucial moment for voters who care about justice and human rights. This election carries particular significance in light of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and Canada’s lack of a clear and principled stance since its outbreak. From delaying its call for a ceasefire to suspending funding to UNRWA based on unproven allegations, Canada’s actions have repeatedly failed Palestinians. Additionally, while the government claims to have halted arms exports to Israel, it continues to indirectly supply weapons through U.S. loopholes.With this in mind, Palestinian organizers in Canada have mobilized to ensure that Palestine is a key election issue.

As Israel resumes its bombardment of Gaza following the collapse of the ceasefire and initial attacks relying solely on air strikes, this makes it all the more urgent to understand how the F-35s is actively used to commit these crimes.My guest today is Kelsey Gallagher from Project Ploughshares, a think tank that specialises in conflict zones and human rights abuses as well as broader canadian export patrol policy and transparency on arms transfers. We talk about the latest global campaign with more than 230 organizations urging F-35 partners to stop arming Israel.Follow Kelsey Gallagher on X. Thank you for listening to the ‘Palestine Debrief’ podcast.
