The Jewish community’s advocacy and community-service arm nationwide has issued a stinging criticism of the federal NDP.
In a news release today (May 31), B’nai Brith Canada accused the party of an “anti-Israel sentiment” within its caucus.
According to the release, the organization has already alerted federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair in regards to its concerns. The organization claimed that deputy NDP leader Megan Leslie has been “selectively promoting several anti-Israel events on her NDP website”, including Halifax Israel Apartheid Week.
Deputy NDP leader Libby Davies has also been “actively campaigning against Israel by bringing forward a petition in the House of Commons unfairly criticizing the Jewish State and calling on the Government of Canada to change its position towards Israel”, the release noted.
Frank Dimant, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada, issued the following statement at the foot of the release:
“While we greatly admire Thomas Mulcair’s strong personal conviction in support of the Jewish State, which he has articulated publicly on multiple occasions, we do have concerns as to the growth of anti-Israel propaganda within the NDP. We are calling on the NDP leader to formulate a definitive, principled party stance regarding the Jewish State, to fully condemn the growing demonization of Israel within his party and to ensure that the NDP does not allow itself to be misused to spread anti-Israel propaganda.”

The jews made it mandatory by law that you have to love them and kiss their buts or else suffer the consequences.
2. B'nai Brith swings wildly to the right, so this is hardly news.
3/ Why is there a byline on a story that is nothing but a press release?
Libby Davies and Megan Leslie should use this opportunity to point out that Israel still hasn't signed the Non nuclear proliferation treaty and possesses hundreds of nuclear weapons while Iran has signed the NNPT and possesses none.
Iran allows nuclear inspections while Israel does not.
Iran hasn't invaded any country since becoming an Islamic republic but in the same time frame Israel has attacked Iraq, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon again, Syria again, Lebanon again, Gaza again and a Turkish aid ship in international waters bringing medical supplies and food to Palestinian victims of Israel's racial apartheid policies.
Who is the threat to world peace?
“While we greatly admire Benjamin Netanyahu's strong personal conviction in support of the Peace in the Middle East, which he has articulated publicly on multiple occasions, we do have concerns as to the growth of anti-Palestinian propaganda within Likud. We are calling on Likud's leader to formulate a definitive, principled party stance regarding Palestine, to fully condemn the growing demonization of Palestine within his party and to ensure that Likud does not allow itself to be misused to spread anti-Palsentian propaganda.”
Oh by the way, if comments are monitored, how did Etvian's make it in?
To the best of my knowledge, the word Jew is not considered to be offensive slang.
Newsflash: B'nai Brith is an unapologetically Zionist organization, who believes that any criticism of the Israeli government is anti-Semitism.
Both are lacking in credibility for their extremist stances.
