People like Justice Harold Dubin. Alan Borovoy, JPSalsberg, David Lewis. And even in more modern times groups like the Candian Jewish Congress and B'nai Brith always walked with the little guy.

There's no connection between what a Jewish NGO says and CPC policy. Despite that, Jews have disporoprtionately rallied behind the Roma yet you focus on the lack of something official from some sort of an official organization. Have NGO's of other religions and ethnic groups done what you suggest Jewish groups ought to have done but haven't done?<br /><br />More broadly I'm saying since Canadia progressives have thrown Zoist Jews under the bus, they really shouldn't demand that the Jewish community act like a loyal member of the broad liberal coalition anymore.Marky Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465497859724027212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-63137487038906689432012-07-09T19:19:44.715-04:002012-07-09T19:19:44.715-04:00Re-read your last three sentences.

It isn't as if there were a condemnation that "presto" the policy would change. The only concrete thing that is real is that beacuse of the anti-Zionism of many Canadian progressives, ridings with sizable Jewish populations have left the LPC tent and formerly progrssive Jewish individuals have been incentivized to attend fundraisers you don't like. As far as I can tell that is the main consequence in Canada of IAW.

They mention that it is a free speech issue, doncha know!<br /><br />Right underneath, they are complaining about an anti-Israeli group being allowed in the gay pride parade. They need to win some sort of an irony award here.
