David Suzuki and The Suzuki Foundation Must Stop Greenwashing Israel’s Crimes

David Suzuki is scheduled to speak at a forum initiated by the explicitly racist Jewish National Fund.

One of the two individuals likely spurring Suzuki’s involvement is Liberal party fundraising chair Stephen Bronfman. Incredibly, Bronfman has been on the board of the Suzuki Foundation for 30 years. Bronfman’s foundation — the Claudine And Stephen Bronfman Family Foundation — has donated nearly $6.1 million to the Suzuki Foundation since 2000.

The Suzuki Foundation has also received significant funding from the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal and the Gerald Schwartz & Heather Reisman Foundation, two pro-Israel charities that support Israel’s illegal occupation. Bronfman is also a Director at the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal. Three other charities, of which Bronfman is a board member, have donated over $80,000 to the Suzuki Foundation.

Please email the well-known environmentalist to ask him to withdraw from an event instigated by an organization that had its charitable status revoked for assisting the Israeli military and supporting illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
