TORONTO, – B’nai Brith Canada has condemned recommendations passed by the United Church of Canada today that lay the groundwork for the boycott of products from Jewish communities in Biblical Israel. The final vote to approve and actualize this boycott is expected on Friday.
Frank Dimant, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada, issued the following statement:
“At a time when thousands of Syrian citizens are being slaughtered, we find this obsession with the Jewish State highly suspect. The subtext of these recommendations is that Jews cannot legitimately establish working communities in Biblical Israel - this is a first step towards calling for ethnic cleansing of Jews from these areas. “These recommendations only serve to undermine the good will that Jewish and Christian communities in Canada have worked tirelessly to establish and maintain. Such biased recommendations coming from United Church members who can complacently enjoy safety and security here in Canada are not only entirely ineffective in addressing the realities on the ground, but are a barrier towards future negotiations between the parties themselves. “These recommendations have no place at a Christian forum. Christians should be welcoming the fulfillment of the prophecy, not negating the word of G-d.”
