Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies (FSWC) condemns Canadian Union of Postal Workers President Denis Lemelin for agreeing to speak at the anti-Israel “Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment” conference in Montreal next month. The theme and subject matter of the conference passes Natan Sharansky’s anti-Semitism “3D” test: 1) It aims to disproportionately demonize Israel.
