Eibie Weizfeld

The co-founder of the Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians, Abraham Harvey "Eibie" Weizfeld is a Montreal-based peace activist and author.^[1]^[2]^[3]

In 1985 he attained notoriety when he and a colleague attacked a statue on Parliament Hill as part of a protest by a group called Parliament Hill Peace Camp, which was opposed to the testing of cruise missiles in Canada. The attack caused $15,000 in damage and the pair were sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment.^[1] The "peace camp", which consisted of four people, a tent, table, tarpaulin and mock missile, had originally been intended to only remain on Parliament Hill for three days; but ultimately remained for several years.^[4]

Weizfeld has travelled to Libya on several occasions to defend the rule of Muammar Gaddafi.^[1]
