Alex Kane reports:[1]
- Another of Himel's films, titled "Jenin: Massacring Truth," was praised by Aish Hatorah, a Zionist organization linked to West Bank settlements. And at a B'nai Brith-sponsored Ze’ev Jabotinsky Memorial event, Himel criticized a separate film about the Concordia protest by saying that the film "interviewed a self-hating Jew who agreed with the Arabs!
Ali Abunimah, the co-founder of ElectronicIntifada, reports that on 5 February 2012 he was at one time asked for an interview by a group misrepresenting themselves as working for the CBC (the Canadian broadcaster), only to find that Himel falsely portrayed himself thus to gain access and interview conference participants.[1][2] Himel has never worked for CBC.
