Jewish leaders from Montreal, France meet on anti-Semitism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJewish leaders from Montreal and France meet to discuss ways for their cities to fight the rising tide of global anti-Semitism and Islamic radicalization.
The Jewish leaders meet for two hours at Montreal City Hall. Discussions include officials from the French Jewish umbrella organization CRIF and B’nai B’rith in France, and locally from the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs and Jewish member of Parliament Irwin Cotler.
“[W]e have to call a spade a spade,” says Montreal mayor Denis Coderre. “We have to denounce (anti-Semitism)…(and) understand that clearly something is going on and we must be there to fight it.”
One possibility discussed for Montreal was to set up a designated police hate crimes unit.
