"We are here to speak out for the people of Palestine, everyone who suffers under imperialism, he said."
"Be it Resolved, it is in Israel's national interest to support a two-state solution."
"It's indefensible for them to have all of these voices and to have no one representing the people who are genuinely suffering, Miller said."
"As we do with every Munk Debate, we try to really assemble people who have hard-won insights, in-depth experience that they can bring to the topic, he said. I think these four panelists will do this."
About 200 people protested outside the Munk Debates in Toronto where an all‑Israeli panel debated whether it is in Israel's national interest to support a two‑state solution. Protesters held signs and Palestinian flags and chanted before police broke up the demonstration. Protesters criticized the absence of Palestinian voices and called the event unacceptable. The debate motion was stated as a question of Israel's national interest. Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni argued for the motion, while Michael Oren and Ayelet Shaked argued against it. Organizer Rudyard Griffiths defended the choice of panelists as bringing hard‑won insights and experience.
