Jewish groups urge Liberals to prohibit praise of terrorism

Major Jewish advocacy groups in Canada are urging the federal government to amend laws regarding the glorification of terrorism as the anti-hate Bill C-9 returns to the House of Commons. Current laws focus on financing and participation in terrorist groups but do not specifically address the promotion of terrorism, unlike legislation in countries such as the UK. Amid rising antisemitic incidents, advocates are pushing for enhanced measures to prevent the glorification of terrorist organizations, while legal experts caution against potential free speech issues.
