During its weekend convention in Ottawa, the Green Party of Canada added support for the anti-Israel boycott movement (BDS) to its official roster of policies.
"With the Green Party's support for unfairly singling out the world's only Jewish state for contempt, it has firmly entrenched itself beyond the fringe of mainstream Canadian politics," said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B'nai Brith Canada. "Greens have chosen to embrace the policy position of shills for 9/11 conspiracy theories and terror apologists rather than side with the democratic and environmentally-friendly State of Israel. This clearly reflects how out of touch the Green Party has become with Canadian culture and values and it has made itself less relevant after its convention this weekend by voting for the politics of division and demonization."
