Pride wrong in allowing QuAIA's politicized agenda, says B'nai Brith Canada
TORONTO, 29 June 2012 - B'nai Brith Canada has expressed its dismay over today's wrongheaded decision by Pride Toronto's Dispute Resolution Panel and has stated that the decision to allow Queers Against Israeli Apartheid to march in this weekend's parade is a result of a faulty process. The organization said the parade has turned from inclusion to exclusion and that it expects the City of Toronto to make next year's Pride funding conditional on what transpires at this year's parade.
Frank Dimant, CEO of B?nai Brith Canada, issued the following statement:
"We are disappointed that Pride Toronto, an organization once celebrated for its struggle for diversity and inclusion, is allowing Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA) to act out its politicized agenda against the Jewish State. Today's decision by Pride's Dispute Resolution Panel is unquestionably clouded by a faulty process and unfortunately displays that Pride has chosen the route of exclusion."
"Allowing QuAIA to march in this weekend's parade is tantamount to endorsing the demonization campaign against the Jewish State and its supporters in Canada. It is now in the hands of the City of Toronto to make next year's Pride funding conditional on QuAIA's behaviour at this year's march. Meanwhile, parade-goers should mark their displeasure at Pride's decision by turning their backs on hateful slogans when passing them this weekend."
