1/5 “24 hours after International Holocaust Remembrance Day and on The National Day of... Action against Islamophobia, there are #Nazi flags being flown in public, in Canada, on #Parliament Hill. This should be horrifying to #Canadians."
Full statement: cija.ca/nazi-flags-at-…
2/5 “With few exceptions, these troubling occurrences have escaped the attention of mainstream media.” theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
3/5 Added Andrea Freedman, CEO of @JewishOttawa :
“The only way to get these toxic ideologies to crawl back under the rock they slipped out from is for all Canadians to roundly and unambiguously reject and condemn these symbols of hatred...
4/5 "The pernicious nature of #antisemitism is that it morphs and becomes a convenient hook for all manner of grievance, real or imagined.”
5/5 “While we are concerned with the small group of agitators displaying the swastika, we are mortified that other protester allowed it to continue. Good people remaining silent is a necessary precursor to evil taking root.” #cdnpoli

1/4 Le drapeau #nazi est un emblème du Mal. Il n'a pas sa place dans une manifestation publique, ni au #Canada, ni ailleurs. Ceux qui le brandissent , de même que la petite minorité qui marche sous celui-ci et le tolère en leur présence, s'identifient avec le pire de l'humanité.
#cdnpoli

2/4 Protester. Criez. Désapprouvez. Mais laissez ce symbole du meurtre de 6 millions de #Juifs et d'innombrables autres dans la poubelle de l'histoire, là où il doit être. #polcan
3/4 Nous entendons des rapports selon lesquels des croix gammées et des étoiles de David déformées ont aussi été vues lors de la manifestation.

1/4 CIJA and @CanadianFSWC are working together to fight #antisemitism, and through CIJA have engaged @PrivyCouncilCA after @Israellycoolweek reported that a senior analyst at PCO appears to have published extreme and egregious #antisemitic posts on social media. #cdnpoli
2/4 A Facebook page purporting to belong to a member of the public service employed @PrivyCouncilCA includes dozens of hateful messages, including accusations of Jews collaborating with Hitler and being “Khazar converts” with a “false history.”
3/4 After alerting our senior contacts within @PrivyCouncilCA, we have received assurances that they are taking the allegations seriously and we were gratified to learn that an investigation is already underway.
