  • Khaled Mouammar

    B’nai Brith promotes anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Muslim racism to divert attention from the crimes committed by Zionist Israel, an apartheid settler-colonial regime led by war criminals that is on trial for genocide by the ICJ and has been ordered to end its 76-year illegal occupation of Palestine

    Our M.P. follows the Liberal Government line.

    Did you know that Justin Trudeau was one of the only heads of government who never visited Israel since Hamas started this war?

    Canada is the only country agreeing not only to accept 5,000 people from Gaza but to provide funds for them when they arrive.

    Do you ever wonder why no Arab country has opened its doors to the Palestinians?

    Enough said.

    Thank you to Mayor Meed Ward and Councillor Kearns for speaking out in opposition. This event has no place in ours or any community.

  • Tony F.

    Why is this person even in our country?

  • Penny Hersh

    Hopefully The Burlington Convention Centre will do the right thing and cancel the scheduled appearance of Mohammed Hijab.

    Public outcry is needed as well.

    If you feel that hate speech has no place in Burlington-please call the convention centre at 905-319-0319 and ask to speak to Julie Thompson, Sales and Event Consultant and leave a message if she is not available or email her at jt@burlingtonconventioncentre.ca

    Let her know that this event needs to be cancelled.

    Now is NOT the time to stay silent and perhaps it is time to ask the question why was Burlington chosen to hold this event?

  • E.V.

    Good for B’nai Brith to speak up. They deserve our full support.
    No place in Burlington for this man, his beliefs or any of his followers.

    What could our M.P. Do to help?
