Jonathan Cook quotes Uri Davis, Israeli scholar and human rights activist:
"Canada Park is a crime against humanity that has been financed by and implicates not only the Canadian government but every taxpayer in Canada," he said. "The JNF's charitable status means that each donation receives a tax reduction paid for from the pockets of Canadian taxpayers."
Canadian Ambassador honoured in illegal park.
Canada's chief diplomat in Israel has been honoured at an Israeli public park -- built on occupied Palestinian land in violation of international law -- as one of the donors who helped establish the park on the ruins of three Palestinian villages.Jon Allen, Canada's ambassador to Israel, is among several hundred Canadian Jews who have been commemorated at a dedication site. A plaque bearing Mr Allen's name is attached to a stone wall constructed from the rubble of Palestinian homes razed by the Israeli army.
