Suzanne Weiss is a long time pro Palestinian Jewish activist and a member of Independent Jewish Voices Canada.

Here is an excerpt from an article published by Suzanne Weiss on February 3, 2007:

The Palestinian liberation movement itself has never been motivated by anti-Jewish feeling. It simply wants the right for the Palestinian people, including the exiles, to live in peace with equal rights on their native land. The Arab communities of North Africa and the Middle East had no share in guilt for the Holocaust. There is no tradition of anti-Semitism in Islamic civilization. The prejudice against Jews grew up in Christian Europe, hand in hand with racism, as an aspect of the growth of capitalism. And imperialism, above all Euro-American imperialism, is still the source from which this poison spreads.
