(World Israel News) OMNI, Canada’s largest multicultural television channel, said it is no longer broadcasting programming from an Arabic-language station over recent anti-Semitic rhetoric.
Lama TV, founded and produced by Lama Aggad, describes itself as “the largest Canadian Arabic TV show that airs on OMNI and OMNI 2 National Television channels.” Its self-described goal is to “create a bridge between Arabs in Canada and Arabs in the Middle East.”
OMNI is owned by Rogers Sports & Media, a subsidiary of Rogers Communications.
On June 8, at a vigil for the victims of an anti-Muslim attack in London, Ont., a speaker claimed that the crime was linked to “whatever is happening in Jerusalem and Gaza.” Nathaniel Veltman, a 20-year-old, was arrested and charged with running over a family of Pakistani immigrants with a truck, killing four and injuring another.
