Canadian Jews Against Support For Israel http://www.kawther.info/wpr/2011/06/02/canadian-jews-against-support-for-israel

The organization “Independent Jewish Voices in Canada” issued a press release in which the organization sharply criticizes Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Joseph Harper, leader of the conservative party, who supports the government of Israel regardless of the ongoing war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity perpetrated by them in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The IJV states in their press release: “Instead of taking steps to promote a resolution to the ongoing crisis in Israel and Palestine, the Harper government supports the government of Israel regardless of what it does” according to Sid Shniad, spokesperson for Independent Jewish Voices Canada.

“Israel’s hard right, intransigent government is delighted with Harper,” Shniad explained. “It was because of Canada that there was no mention of Israel’s pre-1967 borders made in the leaders’ final communiqué released by the gathering of G8 leaders in France. Even Barack Obama, who never ceases to declare his support for Israel, has come to the realization that no progress can be made in reaching a settlement without an Israeli agreement to withdraw from the territory it has occupied since 1967.”
