For Immediate Release
Toronto, November 21, 2003 — B’nai Brith Canada has called today on the University of Toronto to immediately cancel a conference planned for November 22 and November 23 on its campus. The sponsoring coalition “Al-Awda Toronto” has clearly endorsed all forms of violence including terrorism against Jewish civilians anywhere in the world and called for the elimination of the state of Israel as a Jewish homeland, in its “principles of unity”.
B’nai Brith Canada is planning a protest Sunday, November 23, 2003 at noon outside OISE, 252 Bloor St. West in the unthinkable circumstance that University administrators choose to allow the event to go ahead as planned.

B’nai Brith has been active in Canada since 1875 as the Jewish community’s foremost human rights agency.
