Apart from NCCAR and CAF, there is a host of smaller political, social, religious and cultural groups representing the various sectors within the community.
By contrast, government officials regularly remark on the negative position taken by Arab groups (although the impression is that NCCAR is less so), particularly in lobbying for a disruption of the Canadian-Israeli relationship.
The autocratic nature of the Arab states and Palestinian factions militates against similar activity by CAF and NCCAR.
