A University of Western Ontario professor, David Heap, was derelict in his role in reviewing the anti-Israel book “Canada and Israel: Building Apartheid” in the London Free Press, by the merit of this book’s very selection, by not disclosing his inherent anti-Israel bias, and by embracing the role of an editorialist instead of a book reviewer. We “faulted” Heap “for his anti-Israel bias,” as his March 6 reviewpublished under the headline “Canada faulted for pro-Israel bias” read more like advocacy journalism and echo chamber, than an honest, straight forward book review.
