Canada: The Israel Lobby Wants You Suspended, Fired Or In Prison

B’nai Brith Canada (BB) recently introduced a “Seven-Point Plan to Combat Antisemitism.” This roadmap for politicians, police and others should disturb anyone who cares about stopping Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

If that sounds like you, then there’s a good chance BB and the broader Israel lobby wants you suspended from your school, fired from your place of employment, cut off from any funding you enjoy or even imprisoned. This sounds dramatic, but a close review of the plan reveals that it’s true, and worse, that much of what the group wants to happen is already in motion. 

The lobby isn’t solely or even necessarily primarily responsible for the pro-Israel actions that governments and others end up taking. Still, the groups that make up the lobby — such as BB, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) and Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) — typically have been the first in Canada to call for these things to happen. Politicians follow the lobby’s lead, not the other way around, in part because the lobby uses its vast resources to take MPs on trips to “Israel” and lobby them incessantly.
