To the Editor,
I have received five emails in the last 10 days from Jewish friends who are inciting me to vote for Harper because of his strong support for Canadian Jews and Israel.
I am personally suspicious of his strong support of Jews, but that’s another issue. How does supporting Harper for this one reason, knowing that that his leadership and government is so flawed, portray Canadian Jews to all Canadians? It makes Jews look self-serving, lacking responsibility, one-dimensional, and thoughtless. If you want to vote for Harper for this one reason, please don’t shout it out for all of Canada to see.
