Who is Eibie Weizfeld?
The co-founder of the Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians, Abraham Harvey "Eibie" Weizfeld is a Montreal-based peace activist and author.
In 1985 he attained notoriety when he and a colleague broke a unicorn statue's symbolic stone chain on the Peace Tower 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. 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.
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.
