"[CIJA's] form of anti-advocacy is known in the Yiddish idiom as the aha shtil philosophy—hush hush, do not speak up—an attitude whose consequences across the generations have been monstrous...they only talk the talk, and the talk they talk is chiefly disingenuous and self-serving. It is, in short and for the most part, vapid and hypocritical babble."
Candidly Speaking: Canadian Israel advocacy in turmoil
Isi Leibler, Jerusalem Post, 2008
"This effectively neutralized the central role of the Canadian Jewish Congress in determining policies on Israel and anti-Semitism and replaced it with an undemocratic body headed by professional public relations consultants...The obsession to avoid "confrontation" was especially acute on the campuses whereHillel activists were explicitly directed to avoid debates, ignore Arab anti-Israeli tirades and never display examples of Islamic anti-Semitism to avoid offending Muslim groups."

Levant’s insinuation that I’m anti-Semitic is hurtful and I warmly thank those in the Calgary Jewish community for their support.

He is a rogue actor and represents only himself and his followers. I am ashamed of his hateful rhetoric. That being said, Ezra has seized on this conflict for his own publicity-seeking purposes”.
