VANCOUVER, B.C.—Ever since the Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip last December, the global debate surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has intensified with both sides upping the ante, and the stakes of the framing battle increasing almost daily. One of the most recent—but almost totally unreported—developments in Canada is something called the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism (CPCCA). It is not an official Parliamentary body but is a multi-party, voluntary association of 13 MPs. It is currently holding an inquiry into anti-Semitism because, it says, "The extent and severity of anti-Semitism is widely regarded as at its worst level since the end of the Second World War."
