Canada recently joined the chorus of anti-Israel voices at the United Nations, voting ‘yes’ for the first time in 14 years on a biased resolution condemning Israel for protecting its citizens from terror.
‘It is totally unacceptable that government funds have been used to promote an anti-Semitic movement in Canada,’ said Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada.
In addition to recognizing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s efforts, Rivlin also noted the Canadian parliament’s decision to freeze relations with Iran and declare its Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization.
Stephen Harper’s unwavering support for Israel was not the critical factor determining Jewish community votes, Kent said, noting that many high-profile Jews voted Liberal.
