Cherniak “Shames” B’nai Brith Canada
Jason Cherniak has some sharp critique for B’nai Brith Canada.
He says on his blog,
If you read this article in the Canadian Jewish News, you will learn that B’nai Brith Canada is expelling 12 members, in part for questioning their pro-Conservative bias. That, in and of itself, is bad enough. However, I was amazed to read that one of those people is:
93-year-old Lou Ronson, the organization’s longest living member…he was instrumental in developing its League for Human Rights and was named one of B’nai Brith’s most outstanding 150 volunteers in its history.
B’nai Brith is an international organization. I wonder how that organization will react to these sorts of actions from its Canadian branch.
The Jewish Daily Forward describes the dissenters in the organization as stating,
…that B’nai Brith Canada has become too closely identified with the Conservative Party, to the point that it could endanger its status as a charitable institution. Sources close to the organization say that these complaints come from dissidents who are supporters of the Liberal Party.
Jason Cherniak is a graduate of Dalhousie Law School and President Liblogs.ca.
