In a disturbing January 12 opinion column, four faculty members from the University of Montreal claimed that Palestinians are “silenced, trivialized and made invisible.”
The irony? They did so in a widely read publication, which itself proves the exact opposite.

Emmanuelle Khoury, Aline Bogossian, Caron Roxane and Rola Koubeissy, writing for TheConversation.com, pushed a tired and dishonest narrative that ignores facts, defames Israel, and erases real victims of global violence.
They casually mentioned a supposed “genocide” by Israel—without citing a single international ruling or factual basis.
No global court has found Israel guilty of genocide. No legitimate scholar of warfare supports that claim. Yet The Conversation allowed this lie to stand unchallenged.
They referenced “colonial violence,” ignoring the thousands of years of Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria and the repeated Palestinian rejection of peace offers.
The authors weren’t interested in balance, only in vilifying the Jewish state.
Their claim that Palestinians are “made invisible” is not just absurd—it’s offensive.
Palestinians receive constant, sympathetic coverage in global media. Other victims of war and terrorism -like those in Nigeria, Iran, or Yemen—are the ones truly ignored.
