We salute our partner, Im Tirtzu
We are delighted to welcome Andria Spindel in her new role as Executive Director of the Canadian Anti-Semitism Education Foundation (CAEF), which has operated for over 18 years as Speakers Action Group. Andria has over 40 years’ experience in senior executive roles with major Canadian charities, and extensive volunteer work.
The mission of Canadians for Israel’s Legal Rights is aligned with the mission of CAEF, to combat antisemitism, racism and bigotry, and build relations with other communities. Today, antisemitism is often disguised as anti-Zionism, and the denial of the rights of the Jewish people to its own national home in Israel.
We weep for the latest terror victim: Ori Ansbacher. We look forward to the day when ‘peace will come’ and Israeli moms will no longer live in fear of the knock on the door….
Our campaign is all about bringing awareness to Israelis and the world-at-large about the Jewish people’s legal rights to the land of Israel, and abolishing the lie about Jews being ‘occupiers’ in their own land.
