2- A TIME TO SPEAK OUT
DAY OF ACTION TO DEFEND FREE SPEECH ON NOVEMBER 8
FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK
The Harper government is sponsoring a conference of the 'Inter-Parliamentary
Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism' (ICCA) - the CPCCA's international
counterpart - in Ottawa on November 8 and 9. The CPCCA and ICCA have an
agenda to attack free speech and to silence legitimate criticism of Israel
by falsely conflating this with anti-Semitism.
Independent Jewish Voices is deeply concerned about the threat to free
speech and civil liberties posed by the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to
Combat Anti-Semitism'(CPCCA). It is legitimate and ethically necessary for
Canadians of conscience to criticize Israeli human rights abuses and to
support non-violent remedies.
Independent Jewish Voices is calling for events across Canada on November 8.
