CHOUAIB Mazen

1. The problem: Israeli occupation
   Mazen Chouaib NP 18.8.2003 On July 29, Israel Asper delivered a speech in Toronto in which he declared that the road map for peace between Palestinians and Israelis "has become a farce." Mr. Asper blamed "Palestinian terrorism." His staunch defence of Zionism denies any possibility of peace between the two cultures. And while his honesty can and should be appreciated, one has to ask: Do his views help to secure a much-beloved land for two cultures equally deserving of peace? Is he doing Canada any favours by demanding that our country take sides?
