Muller Kalala denies having anti-Semitic beliefs despite 2015 post that rabbi calls “classic anti-Semitism”
A man running for a seat on Victoria council admits to writing a 2015 post on Facebook about “powerful Jews” but says he is not an anti-Semite.
The VIVA Victoria website says Kalala is the owner of a security and self-defence company and is studying for the LSAT in hopes of taking the University of Victoria law program next fall. Rabbi Meir Kaplan, director of the Chabad of Vancouver Island, called the post “classic anti-Semitism.” “For us, to think there is a candidate with some legitimacy running for office and making such comments — it’s extremely disturbing.”
