Montreal Motion Sparks Jewish Community Outcry | Edmonton News
Description
B’nai Brith Canada is fiercely opposing a controversial motion by Projet Montréal to sever Montreal’s ties with Israel, calling it false, divisive, and dangerously antisemitic. The motion, delayed from June to August, demands an end to official relations until Israel meets conditions like returning to pre-1967 borders — a stance B’nai Brith says undermines Canadian foreign policy. While Projet Montréal frames the move as a stand against apartheid and genocide, B’nai Brith argues it misrepresents Israel and risks inflaming rising antisemitism in Canada, citing recent hate incidents including threats and thefts targeting Jewish communities. Other Jewish groups echo the warning, urging rejection of the motion to avoid further endangering Montreal’s Jewish population.
