Trudeau To Apologize For Dead Jews In 1939. Defending Jews In Israel, Not So Much.

On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister announced that on November 7, Canada would officially apologize for turning away the MS St. Louis, a ship carrying 907 German Jews fleeing the Nazi regime, in 1939. Trudeau’s announcement seemed to be a sop thrown to supporters of more open immigration to Canada as well as a defense of the Jewish people, but another perspective indicates there is good reason for Jews to view the announcement with suspicion.
