The import and sale of Israeli wines across Canada is a microcosm of how apartheid maintains “business as usual.”

Activists in British Columbia who have worked for years to have illegal Israeli settlement wines pulled off the shelves of publicly owned liquor stores were shocked when the government pulled Russian liquor products just two days after the invasion of Ukraine.

Israel’s Defense Minister Benny Gantz has declared he is adding the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network to Israel’s “terror list.” Canada may soon follow suit.
