The following is an excerpt from a speech delivered by the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney at the Lord Reading Society Dinner in Montreal on March 13. By Brian MulroneyA challenge to visionary leadership in Canada and elsewhere is anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is born in ignorance and nurtured in envy. I took an extremely strong stand while prime minister against anti-Semitism in all of its forms. I stood proudly with the Jewish community and with those determined to provide unshakeable support for the state of Israel.
