Canada’s Funniest Bring Laughs to Israel

In 2009, The Toronto International Film Festival wanted to showcase films from Israel. However, Canadian political activists and some filmmakers there tried to have the movies boycotted.

Canadian comic Mark Breslin was shocked by the anti-Israel movement and perplexed how anyone would want to boycott Israeli films.

As a solution to the problem, he decided to round up six of Canada’s top comedians and take them on a trip to Israel. The goal was to bring uncensored comedy to both Israelis and Palestinians. Watch this video and let us know if he succeeded.
