Israel Apologists: Fight Anti-Semitism

israel apologists: On Israel Independence Day earlier this month Justin Trudeau delivered a speech by video to a rally in Montr al and published a statement marking the occasion, according to Rabble. Today, while we celebrate Israel's independence, we also reaffirm our commitment to fight anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, declared the PM in a rare reference by a top politician to Israel's state ideology. But, even when anti-Semitism was a significant political force in Canada, Zionism largely represented a chauvinistic, colonialist way of thinking. Israel apologists often link anti-Zionism and anti-Jewishness, but it's disingenuous. When anti-Semitism was a social force of consequence in Canada it was not uncommon for anti-Jewish politicians to back Zionism. Canadian Zionism has long been comfortable with anti-Jewish sentiment and it has never been primarily an anti-prejudicial ideology. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
