The Hill Times features CJPME article on Canadian anti-apartheid opinion poll

On September 6, 2023, The Hill Times published an op-ed from CJPME's Hill_Times_impact_2023-09-07.jpgThomas Woodley discussing new anti-apartheid survey data in Canada. Woodley writes:

EKOS survey results published by my organization, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) this week, show that many Canadians have an extremely dim view of Israeli democracy. The largest number of survey respondents (27%) agreed with the view that Israel is “a state with segregation similar to apartheid,” while only the smallest group (8%) views Israel as a “vibrant democracy.” . . .

When you exclude those who responded, “I don’t know,” the numbers are even more damning for Israel. 38 percent of Canadians consider Israel an apartheid state – more than three times the number (11%) who consider Israel a vibrant democracy. Of the remainder, 20% consider Israel a “state with restricted minority rights,” and 31% a “flawed democracy.”

For anyone bothering to look closely at what Israel is doing to Palestinians, these numbers should not be a surprise.

We honour their long history of welcoming many Nations to this beautiful territory and uphold and uplift the voice and values of our Host Nation.  Further, CJPME respects and affirms the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land. CJPME has and will continue to honour the commitments to self-determination and sovereignty we have made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.  CJPME also acknowledges the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believes that its work should contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share together.
