Head of Canada’s Israel lobby slanders Islam Awareness Week with impunity

Shimon Fogel,  the Chief Executive Officer of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA)— the Israel lobby group that falsely claims to represent Canada’s diverse Jewish communities— recently claimed in an article in the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin that Israeli Apartheid Week has been “respectfully renamed ‘Islam Awareness Week’ at the University of Ottawa.” This, of course, is false. Israeli Apartheid Week happened to coincide with Islam Awareness Week this year on Ottawa campuses, but they have nothing to do with one another.
