On Sunday, Nov. 5, following a large and successful protest for Palestinian life and human rights in Calgary, protest organiser Wesam Khaled was arrested by Calgary police.  Charged with "disturbing the peace," the police told Khaled that the charge was related to his use of the chant "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which the police decided to treat as an “offensive anti-semitic comment.” We reject these attempts by Canadian politicians at all levels of government to demonize such protests and falsely accuse protest organizers as antisemitic, when protesters are simply calling for Palestinians to be able to live in their homeland as free and equal citizens.
