Removing Hatred from the Airwaves – The Zafar Bangash Case
In March, B’nai B’rith Canada issued a complaint when its research team discovered that a Toronto-area imam was spreading alarmingly hateful rhetoric against Jews and others on his weekly television show. Thanks to a petition launched by B’nai B’rith Canada, the show was cancelled within 24 hours, halting the host’s ability to incite his audiences in both Canada and the United States.
Speaking out
B’nai B’rith International had op-eds published in news outlets including: The Hill, FoxNews.com, Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post.
Some of the topics we spoke out on: the need for an anti-Semitism envoy; Iran 40 years into the revolution; the Canard of Dual Loyalty; anti-hatred resolution on Capitol Hill; Brazil and Israel going forward; The crisis in Venezuela; Iran and AMIA: 25 years later; and a plea to stop trivializing the Holocaust.
Our experts are also sought by local and global media for analysis and insights, quoting us in a wide range of publications.
