Starting in the fall of 2014, the Foundation will celebrate its 50th anniversary. It will be a time to celebrate; a time to inspire philanthropy; and a time to look at the future of our impact on the community. As significant as the milestone and celebration will be, the fact is we are always seeking to inspire philanthropy; and we are always aware of the impact we have on the community. 2012 was no exception. We are pleased to report that we were able to welcome about $3.6 million in new capital, and exceedingly proud that we were able to provide approximately $2.9 million in grants and scholarships.

An IJV Report ijvcanada.org/defend-free-speech/antisemitism-its-use-and-abuse/ ANTISEMITISM IN CONTEXT: Its use and abuse Cartoon courtesy of Carlos Latuff A Report by Independent Jewish Voices Canada 1 December, 2016 www.ijvcanada.org By Larry Haiven, Ph.D.[1] Table of Contents Introduction Israel and its Crimes and Misdemeanours Independent Jewish Voices Canada Condemns Antisemitism The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement Recent Accusations of Antisemitism 1/24 The Abuse of Antisemitism Prejudice vs. Oppression What is Antisemitism and what is it not? Antisemitism in Context A Principled Anti-Zionism? Philosemitism Antisemitism in Europe The Christian Right Incidents and Attitudes – A Binary Weapon Conclusion: All or Nothing? Using the A-Bomb Introduction Why are accusations of antisemitism[2] being heard at an ever-increasing amplitude, intensity and pitch? Because it is one of the only ways of defending the indefensible. The policies and actions of the State of Israel are under criticism as never before, and from sources that have traditionally supported Israel. States, political parties, non-governmental organizations, trade unions, human rights organizations, churches, and even a growing number of Jewish organizations around the world have condemned the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, its denial of civil rights to Palestinians and its brutal treatment of Palestinian people. Experts now acknowledge that the two-state solution has been replaced by a one- state, apartheid-like regime. The current Israeli leadership (and an increasing number of Israelis) have no intention of bringing about a just settlement of this dispute. And so, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement is gaining in popularity and impact.
