Advocacy @HBT: Urge Action Against Iranian Agents Inside Canada

As the war between Iran and the United States, Israel, and its allies heats up across the Middle East, we want to bring your attention to one petition and one statement here at home in Canada.  

First, please see the statement from our own ARZA Canada/Canadian Reform Movement Statement. As Rabbi Splansky and others write, we ‘stand with the people of Israel and Iran in their common struggle against Iran’s tyrannical dictatorship… we support efforts to make the Middle East a safer place for all. We pray that this can be achieved quickly with the minimum possible harm to civilians.” Together we pray for a secure peace in Jerusalem and across the region. 

Second, CIJA has an action item where you can contact your MP and urge them to take action against Iranian agents inside of Canada.  CIJA provides news sources saying that there are up to 700 individuals linked to the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) living in Canada today.  

After waking up to the news of the attack on Temple Emanu-El, our sister congregation here in Toronto, the need to confront those who seek the demise of Israel and who actively target Jews in the diaspora – including Iranian agents and supporters of the regime – is greater than ever.
