There is a real push in Canada to promote hatred against Israel and Jews. This is a violation of religious freedom as Jews may feel uncomfortable being identifiable as Jewish. Noahides will be worried about converting.
Judeo-Christian values are an important element of Western society, especially in the U.S which is the most free and innovative.
I didn't agree with punishing Russian athletes for their governments decisions and I say the same about this or any such bias against citizens.
Help us America. Soon they will be demanding that Jews wear a star in public. It's become a numbers game and Jews and their staunch supporters will never be a larger population than those who push hate against them.
Four-time Olympian Moh Ahmed is one of 413 Canadian signatories calling on Tennis Canada to cancel Canada’s Davis Cup tie with Israel in Halifax this September.
Ahmed, a runner from St. Catharines, Ont., who won a silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, signed a letter that frames the Sept. 12-13 Davis Cup tie against the backdrop of what it calls rising condemnation of Israel’s conduct in Gaza and the West Bank, citing legal scholars and human rights groups who have described it as genocide against the Palestinian people.
The signatories note that Canada has already sanctioned senior Israeli cabinet ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir — a move that mirrored actions by the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Norway — and argue it would be ‘unconscionable’ to proceed with the competition.
Among the signatories are three UN Special Rapporteurs, two Palestinian women’s national soccer players now at York University, and Hernan Humana, a former Olympic beach volleyball coach and current York professor.
The letter cites athletes elsewhere who have refused to face Israeli opponents, and urges national sport bodies to bar Canadians from competing against Israelis in any international event.
It said sport has historically been used to promote national sentiment tied to both “genocide” and the dismantling of “apartheid states,” adding, “This is an important moment for Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to promote social justice and stand on the right side of history.”
