Typically weasely response from Y staff:
“We’re not trying to make a political statement, except to say we are trying to promote peace, not conflict,” Anania said. She expressed surprise that people were offended. “This is the first time we have had someone question this,” she said. The list simply represents countries with YMCA organizations, she said.
Earth to Anania: There is a YMCA in Israel. You know there is. So cut the crap.
(Why am I not surprised this is happening in Montreal?)
The international YMCA has not been a friend to Israel, producing a very biased report on the conflict. The YMCA of the USA has distanced itself from the report.
