Speaking Tour Across Canada

The goal of my speaking tour is two-fold. First, Canadian journalists do virtually no on-the-ground reporting in West Asia from the perspective of groups and state actors that oppose Western domination of the region. Canadian independent media outlets that are genuinely interested in those perspectives simply do not have the resources to do on-the-ground reporting. Mainstream media outlets do have the resources to do on-the-ground reporting, but they simply are not interested in those perspectives. Rather, they are almost entirely focused on the perspectives of pro-Western actors in the region. Second, at a time when the world's attention is largely (and understandably) focused on the genocide in Gaza, I believe that the causes and consequences of that ongoing genocide cannot be understood without examining the history of the entire region and the geopolitical trends within the region. In other words, the events in Palestine cannot be understood fully without due regard to the bigger picture.
