In Canada, the Zionist organization there issued a statement paying tribute to Prof. Einstein. The statement, signed by Michael Garber, national vice-president, said: “In his uncompromising zeal for justice and profound compassion, Albert Einstein was of the tradition of the prophets of Israel. That the Zionist cause could attract the sympathetic interest and participation of Albert Einstein was one of the greatest tributes to its ideals. His sympathy for Zionism stemmed from his sense of justice and concern for the oppressed.”
