An Israeli MK is scheduled to speak against Israel at an event in Canada next week. MK Ahmed Tibi will address an audience in Ottawa as a guest of the Ottawa Palestine Solidarity Network (OPSN).

The OPSN is an umbrella group that has previously sponsored anti-Israel events such as “Israel Apartheid Week” and a boat sent to Gaza to defy Israel’s naval blockade on Hamas. In 2010 the group protested Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as a “war criminal” when he visited the country.
