Note: In the May 3rd edition of TheJ.ca, “Canadian Jews Helped Yazidis Fleeing” by the Jewish News Syndicate was published. The following email was received disputing details in that report, as follows:
The Yazidi representative of Jewish Child and Family Services, Operation Ezra, Nafiya Naso reported: “we decided that we can’t sit still and had to take action, so we knocked on many doors and found the Jewish community.” This narrative has been consistently repeated since the June 26th, 2017th Winnipeg Free Press article, “Refugee Selection System Slammed”.
In this article, Michel Aziza, the chair of operation Ezra stated that Nafia Naso “is the reason why Operation Ezra was launched in the first place”.
The reality is different.
It was the advocacy group Winnipeg Friends Of Israel (WFI) that created Operation Ezra, the Manitoba Yazidi Refugee Project, and not Nafiya Naso.
Michel Aziza was not involved at this time in the recruitment of Nafiya Naso nor was he present at the initiating Yazidi event sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg (JFW) and spearheaded by WFI. Accordingly he would not have any grasp of how Nafiya became active in Operation Ezra. Aziza was later selected by WFI to chair the Operation Ezra fund raising drive.
However, his commentary about the creation of the project falls short of recognizing WFI as the creator and spearheading force behind the project.
Nafiya Naso, prior to her amalgamation with Jewish Child and Family Services, presented herself as the official Spokesperson and/or leader of the Yazidi community in Manitoba 1) on her film clip on GoFundMe ” 2) in the speech she gave during the Yazidis initiating event organized by WFI and sponsored by the JFW and 3) on her own professional card.
Despite representing herself as the spokesman and/or leader of the Yazidi community of Manitoba, Nafiya Naso did not in fact represent the interests of the Yazidi community of Winnipeg.

Many in the Manitoba Yazidi community were disappointed that many of the recruited families were relatives or personal friends of her family, and that the selection process did not involve their input.
I have addressed the above issues on multiple occasions by written correspondence but the JFW leadership have declined to respond to the concerns.
