Israel came to the defense of Canadian Jews. And what about the harm to Jews in Jerusalem? | Nachman Shai
If the government stands so unequivocally alongside the Jewish community in Belleville, Ontario when it is attacked, why does it not do the same regarding the Reform Jewish community in the Baka neighborhood in Jerusalem?
Assessment
The government's vocal defense of a Canadian Jewish community exposes a double standard at home. Reform Jews in Jerusalem face harassment without similar official backing. The question is whether this selective solidarity reflects a deeper policy on religious pluralism or just political convenience. Watch for how the coalition responds to internal Jewish diversity.
