CJF is deeply disappointed and alarmed to learn that the Palestinian flag-raising at City Hall will proceed and now, that the City has intentionally moved the event to November 15, the date of the Palestinian Declaration of Independence, in order to qualify it under City policy.
@JyotiGondek Thank you for your words of support. Our Jewish community continues to suffer the consequences of harmful rhetoric. While words are appreciated, we need leaders to put concrete action behind their words and confront hate directly.
Shana Tovah! As the shofar sounds, may it awaken within us the desire for strength and growth. Wishing you a sweet year ahead in 5785! May peace embrace the homes of Jewish people everywhere, and may those held hostage be reunited with their loved ones soon.
We are grateful for the support of allies like the Hon. @MichelleRempel, MP for Calgary Nose Hill, who spoke yesterday in Parliament at an emergency debate, supporting Israel and its right to defend itself. https://t.co/43wVI5K4uf
Horrified by Tehran’s latest assault against innocent Israeli civilians with missile barrages and terrorist attacks.
Millions of civilians are forced to shelter from the attacks.
Conservatives support Israel’s right to defend itself and defeat the terrorists.
The criminal regime in Tehran must cease its attacks on the people of Israel.
I support Israel’s right to defend itself and defeat the terrorists who attack its people.
I pray for and stand in solidarity with the Israeli people. 🇮🇱
We stand with the Jewish community of Calgary against the continuous antisemitic attacks and threats. These actions are unacceptable. The city of Calgary is supposed to feel like a safe place where everyone is welcomed, and there should never be any exceptions.
I condemn the bomb threats made today against Calgary and Canadian Jewish institutions. I also condemn weak leadership that has failed to confront the rise of vile anti-Zionism and antisemitism. Never again is now.
This is unacceptable in our society and everywhere. I condemn without reservation these threats and intimidation against Jewish Albertans. Antisemitism has no place here.
Calgary Jewish Federation thanks our local authorities for their swift responses and remind our community that if they see anything suspicious to please call police immediately. [2/2]
We are aware of an email that was circulated this morning to synagogues across Canada, including Calgary, making threats against the institution. We have been in touch with both @RCMPAlberta & @CalgaryPolice; there is no indication of any imminent danger to our community. [1/2]
