The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) said it was satisfied that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s omission of Jews in a statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day was not deliberate.
The Toronto Sun reported that the Jan. 27 statement, which caused a firestorm on news websites and social media for failing to mention Jews in reference to the Nazi genocide, was an incorrect draft issued in error. The same day, the Prime Minister’s Office put out a tweet linking to his statement and citing the importance of fighting anti-Semitism.
That was good enough for CIJA...Dear O.J.s: the "omission" was both deliberate and deplorable.
Pretending that it wasn't may serve Liberal interests but it does not serve Jewry's.
