Toronto (JTA) — Ten percent of
Canadians believe Jews and other
minorities have too much power
in Canadian society, reveals a poll
by the League for Human Rights
of B'nai B'rith Canada.
The survey, conducted for the
league by the Conseil de Re-
cherche sur 1'Opinion Publique
(C.R.O.P.) on Canadian attitudes
toward ethnic groups, is of par-
ticular significance during this
election period in Canada — as
results indicate that voting be-
havior may have been affected by
the ethnicity of those running for
office.
The analysis of the poll is one of
three studies published in Review
of Anti Semitism in Canada 1983,
a three-part examination of the
nature of anti-Semitism and ra-
cism in Canada. In addition to the
C.R.O.P. survey the review con-
tains an examination of the
Keegstra Affair — a specific
occurrence of anti-Semitism in
Canada and an audit of incidents
of anti-Semitism reported in the
league in 1983.
The C.R.O.P. poll, conducted in
1983 with a national sample of
2,000 respondents examines
Canadians' attitudes toward
Jews, Poles and Italians, three
minority groups with comparable
demographic, historical and
socio-economic positions in
Canada.
Designed by the league to col-
lect data on the relationship be-
tween anti-Semitism and racism
in Canada, the poll was first con-
ducted by the league's Research
Project on Anti-Semitism cen-
tered at Concordia University and
headed by Prof. Frank Chalk.
The article on James Keegstra,
the Alberta teacher accused of in-
structing anti-Semitic theoi-ies to
high school students in Eckville,
Alberta, traces the development
of the Keegstra Affair from its
origin in 1968 when he became
interested in the rightwing Social
Credit Party to the events in early
1983 when he was dismissed from
his teaching position in Eckville.
Keegstra blamed "Zionists" for
the decision.
Two months after his dismissal
he was elected vice president of
-
the Alberta section of the Social
Credit Party. Under growing pub-
lic criticism, he was suspended
shortly afterwards.
Nevertheless, he is now run-
ning for public office on the Social
Credit Party ticket in Alberta. He
had been mayor in Eckville from
1978 until the fall of 1983, when
he was defeated.
Written by Alan Shefman, na-
tional director, field services of
the league, the article focuses
upon the lessons that have been
learned from the Keegstra Affair.
Shefman suggests that gov-
ernments have learned the most
from the events taking place in
Alberta, as the issue of hate prop-
aganda has once again become
significant.
This is witnessed in the recent
proposals by the federal govern-
ment to strengthen the hate prop-
aganda sections of the Criminal
Code. The section on the Keegstra
Affair is also a vivid illustration of
the extent to which extreme man-
ifestations of anti-Semitism still
exist in Canada.
The audit of anti-Semitic inci-
dents, which focuses on data re-
ported to the league in Ontario
and Quebec, (these provinces con-
tain more than 80 percent of the
Jews in Canada) shows a decline
from 63 incidents in 1982 to 48 in
1983. Despite the decline in the
number of incidents, the data re-
veals an increase in the serious-
ness of the incidents, with 33 per-
cent more acts of vandalism di-
rected at Jewish institutions in
1983 than in 1982.
The potential encouragement
over the decline in incidents is
tempered by the fact that other
anti-Jewish activities which are
not reflected in the audit, appear
to be on the rise. This includes the
growth of racist groups in Canada
and the proliferation of hate prop-
aganda.
Finally, the decline over the
two years, which corresponds to
data collected by the league's co-
operating agency in the United
States, the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith, may be due
to a decline in media attention on
Israel which was at a peak during
the 1982 Lebanon crisis.
`Double standard' for Israel,
decried by envoy in BB speech
Washington (JTA) — Israel's
Ambassador to the United States,
Meir Rosenne, declared Monday
that Israel cannot accept a "dou-
ble standard" in which it alone is
condemned in international
bodies.
"We are a sovereign state and
what we ask for is one thing and
that is the implementation of the
same principles of international
relations that are being applied to
any other state," Rosenne told the
more than 1,000 delegates to the
biennial convention of B'nai
B'rith International at the Shera-
ton Washington Hotel.
The Israeli envoy noted that the
United Nations Security Council
is now considering a resolution to
condemn Israel and to order it to
evacuate its troops from south
Lebanon. But, he said, there is "no
reference to the withdrawal of the
Syrians" although Syria occupies
some 60 percent of Lebanon.
Rosenne stressed that Israel
does not want "one inch of
Lebanese territory" but will not
withdraw until it is satisfied that
Israel's northern border will be
secure, the reason Israel went into
Lebanon in the first place. "We
simply cannot accept, in 1984, to
see thousands of Jews live in un-
derground shelters," he said.
The envoy stressed that peace
will come to the Middle East if
instead of pressure being put on
Israel, pressure is put on the Arab
states to negotiate with Israel. He
also said peace requires a strong
Israel.
Rosenne said that while Israel
