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 broke a unicorn statue's symbolic stone chain on the Peace Tower (the Canadian Coat of Arms) 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 initially 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 more than two years.[4]
Weizfeld has travelled to Libya on several occasions to defend the rule of the Jamahirihia of Muammar Gaddafi and ultimately the Libyan National Council revolt.[1]
