Middle East Violent Acts
2,070 words
In December 1985, the Canadian press reported the
death by suicide of hundreds of field mice in the
Middle East. In an apparently instinctive reaction
to a problem of over-population, the mice wilfully
plunged to their doom off the cliffs of the Golan
Heights. This bizarre story was the subject not
only of straight news coverage in the Canadian
press, but also of an editorial in the Globe and
Mail on December 20. On November 1, 1985, the
Globe and Mail also ran a photograph of a visiting

... greater attention to Canadian relations with
the Middle East than in 1985. However, in our
view, the coverage remained episodic in nature and
did not reflect a new concern to inform readers
about a range of Canadian relations with the
countries of the region and Canadian policy with

three thousand men were trusted by General Richard
Olney to keep the rails open. The federal court

History. There was a recent movie about it, and

pleased with the attack, thats for sure. On
