Defending Our Future. Protecting Our Past.
April 18, 2025: What does the Canadian Jewish community deserve from its government? As this week’s federal debates revealed, party platforms may shift, but what we require as a community remains constant: Safety. Justice. Truth. Leadership. And above all, respect. Our future as a united and democratic society depends on it.
An engaging conversation
with Dr. Gil Troy, author of The
Essential Guide to October 7 and Its
Aftermath. Dr. Troy, a Distinguished
Scholar in North American History at
McGill University and a prominent
voice in the discourse on Zionism
and Israel's future brings
unparalleled insights into the events
that shook the Middle East and the
world on October 7, 2023. Drawing
on his extensive research, Dr. Troy
will delve into the horrors of the
Hamas invasion on that fateful day
and highlight the remarkable story of
resilience and mobilization that
followed, when Israelis united to
defend their nation.
“And the only time Yasser Arafat didn't tell me the truth was when he promised me he was gonna accept the peace deal that we had worked out, which would have given the Palestinians a state on 96% of the West Bank and 4% of Israel, and they got to choose where the 4% of Israel was. So they would have the effect of the same land of all the West Bank. They would have a capital in East Jerusalem....All this was offered, including, I will say it again, a capital in East Jerusalem and 2 of the 4 quadrants of the old city of Jerusalem, confirmed by the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, and his cabinet. And they said no".
October 7, 2024 – Toronto, Canada – A key panel discussion, marking the one-year commemoration of the October 7th attacks, was recently held to examine the global response to Israel’s fight against terrorism. The panel featured Avi Abraham Benlolo, Chairman and CEO of The Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI), interviewed by Neil Orlowsky, AGPI’s Director of Education.
On the heels of the horrific Hezbollah rockets attack that killed 12 Druze children on a soccer field in Majdal Shams, AGPI releases an excerpt of an interview with its leader, Sheik Tahir Abu Salah. The excerpt is taken from AGPI's widely acclaimed, "The Future of Israel and its Defenders" documentary. To watch the full documentary, click https://agpiworld.com/agpi-film-division
Watch Now: A Briefing by Maj. David Ross and Ambassador Ronen Gilor:
Israel is fighting a multi-pronged war. Not only must it defend itself against terrorists, it must also combat a disinformation campaign internationally. Listen or watch now the meeting held this week by the Abraham Global Peace Initiative that addresses this issue and more.
Tal Heinrich is a spokesperson for the Israeli Prime Minister's Office. On October 7th, 2023, she got called up to speak to the international media following the Hamas massacre. Since then, she has given hundreds of interviews and led dozens of daily media briefings.
The Abraham Global Peace Initiative is urgently calling on the University of Toronto to dismantle the pro-Hamas encampment on its campus.
The organization expresses deep concern over the numerous posters promoting violence displayed around the fenced area. AGPI is also urging the Toronto police to investigate potential hate speech charges. Notable examples include a poster depicting a youth firing a rock from a sling and another bearing the message, "we'll resist." Additionally, a poster featuring a pig with the words "no pigs" seemingly undermines police authority.
Such displays would not be tolerated if they targeted any other group, highlighting the racist, discriminatory, and pro-terrorism nature of this project. This behavior not only breaches the student code of conduct and hate speech laws but also severely impacts the well-being of Jewish students and faculty, who report feeling increasingly harassed and intimidated.
The lack of similar actions against countries like Russia, Syria, Iran, or in response to China’s treatment of the Uyghurs starkly points to the antisemitic intent of these encampments, which solely target Israel and Jewish people. AGPI is calling for the immediate expulsion of the students involved and their removal from campus to safeguard the university community.
October 7th bears the weight of harrowing recollections from the Holocaust's annals. On that fateful day, 1200 precious lives were cruelly snatched away from us, their voices silenced by unfathomable violence. A further 254 were cruelly torn from their families, leaving behind a haunting absence. Our prayers fervently echo for the safe return of the remaining 132 hostages.
AGPI walked amidst the ruins of Kfar Aza, a tranquil Kibbutz now scarred by the merciless onslaught of Hamas. Here, in this serene enclave, 64 souls were mercilessly lost, with another 19 torn from their loved ones, their fate hanging in the balance. Six of their brethren remain captive, their absence a poignant testament to the depths of our collective sorrow.
The Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI) proudly presents our global network comprising political leaders, the media, and our esteemed members with informative briefings on critical issues concerning Israel and Jewish affairs.

Press Release: April 4, 2024 - The Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI) today released a new report urging the dismantling of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
The report, authored by former U.S. federal prosecutor Henry Kopel, presents extensive open-source information highlighting UNRWA's role as an obstacle to Middle East peace.
The report outlines four key reasons supporting this recommendation, each thoroughly documented:
1. Generational Limbo: Instead of aiding displaced Palestinians from 1948 and helping them rebuild their lives, UNRWA has perpetuated a multigenerational cycle of distress, directing it towards Israel rather than constructive solutions.
2. Incitement in Schools: UNRWA schools have become centers for inciting hatred towards Israel and promoting terrorism among Palestinian youth.
3. Involvement in Terrorism: UNRWA personnel, alumni, and facilities are implicated in supporting terrorist activities against Israelis, including providing recruits and material support to organizations like Hamas.
4. Lack of Action: Despite public evidence of its role in promoting terrorism, UNRWA has failed to take effective measures to address and eradicate these practices.
The report also highlights alleged collaboration between Hamas and UNRWA, raising concerns about UNRWA's complicity in terrorist activities. AGPI's Founder and CEO, Avi Abraham Benlolo, has engaged with UN and UNRWA officials multiple times regarding these issues, yet UNRWA's persistent denial and inaction remain alarming.
AGPI calls upon the Canadian government to reconsider its commitment of $25 million to UNRWA in light of these findings.
BASSAM EID TELLS AGPI GROUP "UNRWA HOLDING PALESTINIANS HOSTAGE":
Palestinian activist, Bassam Eid told a global meeting of The Abraham Global Peace Initiative that relations with the Palestinians has been set at least 50 years back because of the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7th. He believes that Hamas must be destroyed not only for the benefit of Israel, but also for the benefit of the Palestinian people. Eid added that UNRWA must be dismantled, for keeping the Palestinian people hostage so that it can continue earning an income. Watch the full video HERE.
