Proud Zionist

You would think with the spring semester over by now there wouldn’t be considerable drama still happening at York University. You would be dead wrong.

York University is set to be the host (along with Queens University) of an anti-Israel conference which is calling for a one state solution. The conference is set to take place on June 22-24.

Problems and Questions regarding the one-sided conference:

- There is no group/side/people representing a pro-Israel viewpoint or any representative from the Jewish community

- The only ‘Jewish’ speakers are ones that hate on Israel

- It is disguised as an ‘academic’ conference yet it doesn’t even want to acknowledge the idea that most people and academic accept – a two state solution

- It is being sponsored by Queens  University and York University – Why wasn’t the Jewish studies department invited?

- The conference is the receipient of a federal grant amount to $19,750 – Isn’t it the foreign policy of Canadian to support a two-state solution?

We cannot stand idly by while islamists, the extreme left, members of CUPE and other unionists, try to defame Israel for their own personal gain. You don’t have to be Israeli, or even Jewish for that matter, to be outraged that a Canadian ‘academic’ institution would hold a conference on such a contentious issue without showing both sides.

Take 2 minutes out of your day and call Prime Minister Stephen Harpers office – 613-992-4211- now you obviously can’t speak directly too him but leave a message for him expressing:

‘my extreme disappointment that the one-state solution conference that will defame and bash Israel is receiving federal funding’

‘I was so proud that Canada lead moral and ethical nations by pulling out of Durban 2 but now it is not only letting an extremely anti-Israel conference take place but FUNDING IT!”

‘As a Canadian citizen and a moral citizen of the world I am asking that PM Harper withdraw federal funding from the anti-Israel conference’
