STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR IDDO MOED:
“Friendship should never be controversial.”
At Calgary Stampede with a 6-person tech delegation, I reconnected with Albertan friends old and new, and saw firsthand the growing strength of the Israel–Alberta partnership.
But it’s unacceptable for hate to creep and fester into a space built on hospitality, undermining the respect and empathy that should define it.
@nenshi This is beneath you. It’s revolting that you have to apologize for being photographed while speaking with the ambassador of a country that is an ally to Canada. Ambassador Moed represents the only democracy in the Middle East. I am so disappointed in your leadership.
Rahm Emanuel is right. If Israel would simply elect a new leader anti-Semitism would simply disappear and Israel would be welcomed in Progressive and Islamo-Fascist circles.
@StopAntisemites It’s unbelievable that a Nazi tattoo was not enough to convince the public that he would be a terrible candidate. Supposed thought leaders are apologizing for not doing due diligence before endorsing him. We all knew he had a Nazi tattoo! It’s shameful.
It was well known that he had a Nazi tattoo permanently imprinted on his body. How much due diligence was needed for an individual who makes this type of decision. How could you possibly praise a man with a Nazi tattoo? That should have been enough! Really shameful.
I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills (on another platform). Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him while reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right.
I won't take down the bad post because that looks like hiding. But please know that I'm truly sorry I disappointed folks who trust me to be more careful. Most of all I'm sorry to the women who came forward only to be disbelieved and smeared. You deserved better and I feel absolutely gutted.
@MarkJCarney This applies to Canada as well. There has been a tactical police vehicle in my neighbourhood next to two Jewish day schools since October 7th. Not to mention the private security that the parents and donors of the schools employ costing hundreds of thousands per year
Terry Newman: Is anyone responsible for the Nakba exhibit's anti-Zionist propaganda?
Museum erases history, yet no one — from the CEO to Miller and Carney — has taken responsibility

@CMHR_News You have created a mess and it could have been dealt with months ago. But you did not listen to the public. Even Minister Miller has acknowledged that there are serious issues. Instead of doubling down on your position, you could take accountability and corrective action.
