On The Hub's Fault Lines podcast, ALCCA's Honorary Chair, Justice Harry LaForme, Canada's first Indigenous appellate court judge, explains why he sees Israel as a decolonization project rather than a colonial one, and why that perspective puts him at odds with narratives gaining traction in universities and activist circles.


He discusses the striking parallels between Indigenous experiences in Canada and Jews in Israel, the moral imperative he feels to combat antisemitism, and what a stronger Indigenous–Jewish alliance could mean for both communities.
