We also believe that extremist groups in Israel, such as Kahane Chai who would deny citizenship to non-Jewish Israeli peoples and have promoted violence to that end should also be condemned...."<br /><br />FYI They are already banned as a political party in Israel.<br /><br /><br />"... we don't believe that calling Israel and apartheid state is constructive or even entirely accurate...."<br /><br />Thank you. It's become very rare to hear of anyone on the Cdn. left has not bought into Abbas's (and Hamas') asymmetrical war. <br /><br />The PA supports and promotes this BDS thing internationally which, tragically is the unborn "state" of Palestine's largest export. <br /><br /> Sadly, this is politics too. That's why progress towards a Palestinian state is stymied. They don't want a 2 state solution even though the Jews do.<br /><br /> These "moderate peace partners" still expect to be able to push all the Jews into sea at the same time as receiving international aid and support, instead of just getting on with the business of building a state. <br /><br /> <br />"... we have significant concerns about troubling incidents, such as a recent letter signed by a number of Rabbis that Jews should not rent to non-Jews..."<br /><br />This was roundly condemned in Israel and among Jews in the diaspora, and does not represent a significant faction. Arab Israelis are mostly integrated into the general population of Israel and have complete civil equality. Which is not to say that there isn't ever any discrimination. <br /><br />But discrimination happens even in democratic countries and regimes like Canada. Too often, we're seeing big double standards about Israel which are also used to "criminalize" diaspora Jews and their communities.Harry Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564085841438463296noreply@blogger.com
