'Anti-Semitic' Group Loses Canadian Funding.

Not on my watch !

'Anti-Semitic' Group Loses Canadian Funding.(INN).

One anti-Israel, anti-Semitic organization will not continue to receive funding by a national government - and the decision is final.

On Wednesday, the Ottawa Federal Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Canadian Arab Federation (CAF) against the decision of the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to stop the government funding for the years 2009-10, according to Shalom Toronto.

The funding amounted to one million dollars per year, or 74 percent of its budget. The CAF claimed the funds are intended to be used within the framework of language courses for new immigrants and assist them in the process of integration into Canadian society.

Minister Jason Kenney, who headed the Ministry at the time, recounted during the legal proceedings the reasons that led to the decision. The investigation cited anti-Semitic statements by leaders of the organization, who also have expressed support and solidarity with a number of groups declared as terrorist organizations in Canada, including Hamas and Hezbollah.

In 2006, the organization's president sent an email with a proclamation (prepared by a person not related to the organization) attacking Bob Ray, one of the heads of the Liberal Party, and his Jewish wife.

"Bob Ray was the head speaker (at a JNF event), an organization academics say is involved in war crimes and ethnic cleansing," the claim reads.

"Ray's wife is the Vice President (of the Canadian Jewish Congress), a pro-Israel lobbying organization that supports Israeli apartheid and the illegal apartheid wall," it continues.

"President Carter denounced the Israeli apartheid. Bob Ray supports Israeli apartheid. Do not choose a leader who supports apartheid."

The organization also distributed a video in which children express their hatred fort Israel. One child said that every Israeli citizen over the age of 18 is "a legitimate target." Another expressed support for terrorist organizations and called Israel "a racist state."Read the full story here.
