Canadian Party Leader's Apology Over Photo Sparks anger Among Israel Supporters
Nahied Nenshi, leader of the New Democratic Party in Alberta, Canada, issued an apology after a photo showing him with Israeli Ambassador Ido Moed at the "Calgary Stampede" festival drew widespread criticism. The backlash was due to ongoing Israeli violations in Palestine and Lebanon. Nenshi emphasized that the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza violated international law and welcomed apologies from some Canadian groups, calling for support of human rights. In response, the Israeli ambassador refused to apologize, viewing the gesture as reflecting hate speech. Meanwhile, Canadian organizations and parliament members demanded that the apology be withdrawn, accusing Nenshi of bias and of blaming Israel. These comments come amid a campaign of criticism from the Israeli lobbying groups.
