Until this Thursday March 11th, in Montreal and around the world, you can participate in a variety of events and shows at the 6th Annual Israeli Apartheid Week. The event has been condemned by Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, and in Ontario all three parties have backed a resolution to condemn the event. Check out Ignatieff’s official statement on the Liberal Party web site. I would like to see our political leaders show up to events such as Israeli Apartheid Week to make their statements, and engage in public discussions, especially after that extra time off during the Olympics.

The doofuses behind Israel Apartheid Week failed to notice that their event falls right at the start of Buycott Israel Month (www.buycottmonth.com).
Also, given that the Apartheidists behind Israel Apartheid Week are so enamored with Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), they may find this little story of unintended consequences enlightening: http://www.divestthis.com/2010/03/running-numbers.html
