Criminal charges against group recruiting for Israeli military

Two years ago the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute and others started a campaign to oppose Israeli military recruitment in Canada. A parliamentary petition calling on the Minister of Justice to investigate this recruitment got more than 7500 signatures but died on the order paper. In response to a follow-up petition, the Liberal government last month reiterated the illegality of foreign recruitment but declined to take action. This has prompted two individuals to initiate a private prosecution. Last week, a justice of the peace determined that their case against Sar-El Canada could be heard. We speak with Yves Engler of the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute.
