Dear Editor
It is very sad to see that on Monday, Feb. 22, 2016, our local MP Peter Julian, voted against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Opposition Leader Rona Ambrose, when he rejected the following very worthy motion, that stood against discrimination and anti-semitism.
Motion: That, given Canada and Israel share a long history of friendship as well as economic and diplomatic relations, the House reject the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which promotes the demonization and delegitimization of the State of Israel, and call upon the government to condemn any and all attempts by Canadian organizations, groups or individuals to promote the BDS movement, both here at home and abroad.
