Jewish advocates question minister’s vetting of new head of human rights commission (The Globe and Mail)
Jewish advocates have raised concerns with the Justice Minister about whether he fully vetted the new head of Canada’s human rights commission after it emerged that Birju Dattani posted links on social media to articles comparing Israelis to Nazis, and Palestinians to Jews incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto.
Mr. Koffler Fogel said positions and tweets he posted around a decade ago in Britain were of “serious concern” and undermined his group’s “confidence in the Human Rights Commission to adjudicate issues of hate and discrimination.”
