Leading candidate of the Quebec Separatist Party calls to remove the word ‘Jewish’ from the Jewish Hospital of Montreal, ban circumcision.
Tania Longpre, a leading candidate for the next general elections in Quebec in the PQ separatist bloc, has written a statement on her Facebook page calling to remove the word “Jewish” from the Jewish Hospital of Montreal and to introduce a ban on circumcision, Shalom Toronto reports.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) has issued a response to the grave statements, which follow calls by the ruling PQ party in the national government to pass a bill banning religious symbols in public areas – including the yarmulke and head coverings for married women.
