Canada Today: Week and Holocaust

canada today: This perverse reality was on display at two recent events in Toronto, according to Rabble. At a semi-annual Ryerson Student Union meeting, a Hillel member pushed a resolution calling on the union to promote Holocaust Education Week in conjunction with United Jewish Appeal-Toronto, which marked Israel 2014 slaughter in Gaza by adding 2.25 million to its annual aid to that wealthy country. Drawing attention to the Nazi Holocaust and anti-Semitism in Canada today often reinforces, rather than undermines, oppression and discrimination. The motion stated, this week is not in dedication to anti-Zionist propaganda and called for the week to focus solely on the education of the Holocaust and not on other genocides. When quorum was lost before the vote, pro-Israel activists cried -- wait for it -- anti-Semitism. Objecting to this brazen attempt to use the decimation of European Jewry to protect an aggressive, apartheid state many students left the meeting. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
