The UN designated January 27 as a day that commemorates the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis, but the Jewish human rights organization is pointing out the glaring contradiction between the UN honouring Holocaust victims and yet allowing rhetoric at its meetings that actually fuels hatred against Jews. </p> <p>Frank Dimant, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada, issued the following statement: </p> <p>“As we mark this coming 68th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, a day that the UN itself has chosen as an annual commemorative date, we can’t help but be struck by the role of this international body in enabling the modern-day expression of hatred against Jews. </p> <p>“Time and time again at the UN we hear hate-filled rhetoric supposedly directed against the Jewish State, but which is merely thinly-disguised repetition of the age-old medieval blood libels that targeted Jews for generations. </p> <p>“If the aim of this Holocaust Remembrance Day is truly to honour Hitler’s Jewish victims rather than just paying lip service to their memory, then the UN should call a halt to the type of open and ongoing demonization of Israel that it allows at UN fora, which fuels antisemitism around the world.” </p> <div style="text-align: center;">-30- </div> <p></p> <div> <font face="arial, sans-serif" size="3"><br /></font></p> <div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial, sans-serif" size="3">For more information please contact Sam Eskenasi, Communications Officer at (647) 780-8490 or communications@bnaibrith.ca. </font></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial, sans-serif" size="3"><br /></font></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial, sans-serif" size="3"><br /></font></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <font face="arial, sans-serif" size="3">B’nai Brith Canada has been active in Canada since 1875 as the Jewish community’s foremost human rights agency.</font> </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height="10"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table width="520" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" style="padding:0 20px 10px 20px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; line-height:18px; text-align:center; color:#999;">15 Hove Street, Toronto, Ontario, M3H 4Y8<br /><a href="http://app.streamsend.com/c/17878177/3839//6N4X?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bnaibrith.ca">www.bnaibrith.ca</a> | <a href="http://app.streamsend.com/c/17878177/3841//6N4X?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunications%40bnaibrith.ca">communications@bnaibrith.ca</a><br />Phone: (416) 633 – 6224</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td id="streamsend_footer"></td> </tr> </table> <p><a href="http://app.streamsend.com/private/6N4X/9Me//unsubscribe/17878177">Update Profile / Unsubscribe</a><img src="http://app.streamsend.com/v/17878177//6N4X"/><br /> </body><br /> </html><br />
