## Resource

Israel’s ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, is furious after Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi apologized for a photo taken with him at the Calgary Stampede — a gesture Moed says disrespects their friendship, especially since he was there for a tech delegation promoting Israeli companies. Nenshi, citing Gaza’s conflict and rising hatred, questioned whether he should have avoided greeting the ambassador publicly. The fallout has ignited fierce debate: some call the apology inadequate, others accuse Nenshi of antisemitism, while Jewish leaders warn such expectations could shut down political engagement. Nenshi defended his apology as a response to public hurt and confirmed he declined an invitation to an Israel in Canada event — a move Jewish federations say signals deeper tensions beyond the photo.
