Canadian Jews and Palestinians purchased a bus and supplies for the West Bank town of Sabastieh. “Often the Diaspora is more xenophobic than the homeland. We have tried to promote peace, not fuel hatreds,” said Robert Eisenberg, a representative of the Canadian Friends of Peace Now, which helped organize the delivery along with the Palestine House in Toronto. The bus and supplies were to be delivered this week by representatives of the two groups.
