PM Stephen Harper Talks to U.S. Press on Durban II
Posted on: April 20, 2009

This morning (April 20) Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper participated in a conference call  with journalists organized by the Washington-based think-tank The Israel Project.

In an article on the call, the Canadian Jewish News wrote: “Harper said Canada was ‘leading the world in championing international understanding and pluralism’ and also in its stance against anti-Semitism and racism ‘in all other forms. We’re very concerned that anti-Semitism is growing  in volume and acceptance, justified by opposition to Israel itself.’

“He added: ‘Canada will not lend its name and reputation to an international conference that promotes these kinds of things.’”
