Next up on taxpayer-funded Palestine House's busy Israel-bashing agenda: the launch of a new book by Naji Farah.

Who's he? Never heard of the bloke. But according to this Al Jazeera piece, he appears to be your average, run-of-the-mill Nakba nutter:
Naji Farah, a Palestinian writer and former teacher who was 15 years old in 1948, believes the Nakba has continued to the present day.

"It has continued and is in progress in the West Bank where settlers rob day after day more Palestinian lands, and in the Gaza Strip where people live under siege, where children cannot find something to eat, where mothers cannot buy medication for their children … this is a continuation of the Nakba."
Looking for "something to eat"? I suggest hightailing it to the shmancy new Gaza mall. I hear its food court offers a plethora of tasty fare that's to die for: I'm pretty sure it has a drug store, too, for mothers seeking "medication for their children."

But that's not really the point, is it? The point, once again, is that Canadians continue to get their pockets picked in order to provide a platform for such Nakba mishegas.
