Feb 23, 2009 statement by Jason Kenney on the issue of Anti-Semitism & Intolerance

Statement by Jason Kenney


Mr. Speaker, all Canadians should be concerned about the growing wave on Canadian campuses by organizations such as CUPE that are singling out and targeting the Jewish democratic state of Israel for opprobrium in the most vile language possible.
 
Last week Jewish students at the Hillel Club at one of our universities faced an angry mob shouting anti-Jewish slogans. The resolution passed by CUPE is in the same spirit. All these people are rejecting the right alone of the Jewish people to a homeland.
 
On behalf of all Canadians, we denounce this kind of intolerance and extremism that is totally unacceptable.
