Opposition grows to antisemitism demand
Various groups – including Voix juives indépendantes – are making their opposition known to the Ensemble motion at city hall on Monday that Montreal affirm a definition of antisemitism that risks defining most criticism of Israel, as a political entity, as antisemitic.
As pointed out here earlier by Raymond Lutz, this ploy’s effectiveness in causing political strife was proven in the UK when Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party wasn’t willing to endorse the definition. It’s a tricky one. Projet will have to find a path through this one.

There is no path, just say no way. Everyone who acts and thinks in good faith see’s this for what it is. A Trojan horse to chill any criticism of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people. What bothers me the most is the cheapening of the term anti semitism. Anti Semitism has been a cancer, on primarily European society for two thousand years. Now because of this campaign a new generation will dismiss the term as a canard. That is dangerous.
