NDP’s Avi Lewis helps author report accusing pro-Israel Jewish group of promoting anti-Palestinian racism

The report, authored by six members of the Jewish Faculty Network, is based on an examination of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs' (CIJA) public statements and social media posts in the first six months of the war in Gaza.

Today I learned #Canada has banned #Kneecap, an outspoken musical group from Northern Ireland, from visiting the country.
It was announced by the Parliamentary Secretary (Combatting Crime) on Twitter. MP Gasparro had posted, some 48 hours earlier, that he and PM Carney met with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs to "…help provide more security to Jewish Canadians."

CIJA Contravened A Lobbying Requirement With No Repercussions

The pro-Israel group was barred from lobbying an MP for two years after taking him on an Israel trip, but did so just six months later.

Here Are The 10 MPs Most Lobbied By CIJA

Nearly 60 per cent of current MPs have been lobbied by CIJA, but these 10, from all three major parties, stand out.

This week, members of the Montreal chapter of Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) travelled to Ottawa to protest a conference against anti-semitism.

IJV protesters say this conference is equating anti-semitism to anti-Zionism, which they believe normalizes the genocide of Palestinians.

This week, members of the Montreal chapter of Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) travelled to Ottawa to protest a conference against anti-semitism. IJV protesters say this conference is equating anti-semitism to anti-Zionism, which they believe normalizes the genocide of Palestinians. ‘Antisemitism: Face It, Fight It’ was the first large-scale conference hosted by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) inviting Canada’s Jewish community to address and fight antisemitism. It was hosted in the Shaw Centre in Ottawa on Oct. 16 and 17. When asked for a comment on IJV’s statement on this conference, CIJA associate director Henry Lovgren said told CUTV, “There’s no question that a strong connection to Israel is central to global Jewish identity. However, the singular motivation behind convening this gathering is to combat antisemitism.” #antizionism #cija #ijv #centreforjewishandisraelaffairs #antisemitism #zionism #israel #independentjewishvoices #palestine #israel #ottawa #montreal

Tonight, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is speaking to the delegates, denouncing Hamas terror, reaffirming Canada’s support for Israel, and saying clearly that Hamas does not speak for nor represent the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people. He denounces antisemitism and says all Canadians must fight against it. #CIJA #FaceItFightIt #Canada #Ottawa #cdnpoli #Jewish #antisemitism
