Conrad Black: Canada’s shameful flirtation with antisemitism hits a wall

There were two events in Canada last week which may, viewed optimistically, constitute a turning point in the shameful and distressing flirtation that this country is having with antisemitism. There is widespread anecdotal evidence of discrimination against Jewish applicants for many categories of work and entry to exclusive professional occupations, including doctors and teachers. Antisemitic incidents are far more numerous than the police can make any pretense to respond to and include unprecedented levels of violence, car theft, and petty harassment such as ripping Mezuzahs off door-frames.

You and I will be in the Kommissar’s cross-hairs.

Canada needs co-ordinated action plan to combat antisemitism, says former envoy

The federal government “has yet to appreciate the gravity of the threat” of antisemitism today and there needs to be a co-ordinated action plan to counter the problem, says former special envoy Irwin Cotler.

“We can’t continue to work in silos here or say it’s the others’ responsibility,” Cotler said in an interview with CBC’s The House that aired Saturday morning. “No, this is an integrated and collective responsibility.”


Too late. Unless you’re ready to ban islamist migration and carry out mass deportations, purge the universities and teacher colleges, the public service unions and of course the mainstream political parties.

The way things are going it will soon be an islamophobic hate crime to speak against antisemitism.

Over a quarter of Canadians believe Jews ‘to blame for any acts of prejudice they face’: poll

Carney and Islamophobia Tsar – gets assurance daughter won’t be tossed off roof.

More than a quarter of Canadians believe “Jews are often to blame for any acts of prejudice they face,” according to a new national poll that the researcher says is indicative of post-October 7 victim-blaming on social media.

Leger found that 28 per cent of Canadians agree (nine per cent strongly and 19 per cent somewhat) with the statement that Jews are often to blame. The poll, which was conducted for the Association for Canadian Studies, found that just under three-quarters (72 per cent) of Canadians disagreed (37 per cent strongly and 35 per cent somewhat).

Smithsonian African American History Museum Celebrates Violent Nation of Islam

Elijah Muhammad of the Nation of Islam – Hate Whites and Jews and has his racism honoured by the Smithsonian

The National Museum of African American History and Culture, a Smithsonian Institution center in Washington, D.C., features exhibits that glorify violent radical groups like the Nation of Islam (NOI) and offer historical falsehoods on issues like slavery, a Washington Free Beacon review found.

The NOI features prominently in the museum, with exhibits offering effusive praise to the group with little mention of the organization’s history of violence, anti-White radicalism, and anti-Semitism.


Trump was right again.

France summons US envoy over antisemitism claims

France says it will summon the US ambassador to Paris, Charles Kushner, over what it says are unacceptable allegations of failing to tackle a surge in antisemitism.

Kushner, who is Jewish and whose son is married to US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, made the comments in an open letter to French President Emmanuel Macron in the Wall Street Journal.

Echoing Israel’s criticism of France days earlier, Kushner said there had been an explosion of hatred towards Jews in France since the war in Gaza began.

Canadian poll suggests social media ‘normalizing prejudice’

A new poll has found young Canadians are the most likely to have heard antisemitic and Islamophobic comments, and one researcher suggests social media may risk “normalizing prejudice.”

The Leger survey, which was conducted for the Association for Canadian Studies, found that over a third (39 per cent) of Canadians between 18 and 24 heard an antisemitic remark and nearly half (46 per cent) reported hearing an Islamophobic comment since Hamas’s invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Canada’s envoy for combatting antisemitism Deborah Lyons leaving post early … explains why she was a dud

It’s evident why Trudeau chose this hack

OTTAWA – Canada’s special official for fighting antisemitism announced on Thursday that she is retiring her post, three months before the end of her term.

… She said her office fought antisemitism “with a vigour and passion not seen in many other countries,” and yet she leaves with concern over Canadians who feel they must pick a side when it comes to defending humanity.

“Support to one community should never mean, or be interpreted as, minimizing another community. Our value of inclusivity has at its core our ability to hold the concerns of multiple communities, in our hearts and minds,” Lyons wrote.

“It was troubling in the last few years to see our lack of patience, lack of tolerance, and inability to reach out across the gulf to one another.”


There you have it. Unable to grasp the fact Islam is a murder cult Lyons wants people to tolerate the intolerant. To their deaths if need be!

Wikipedia’s Quiet Revolution: How a Coordinated Group of Editors Reshaped the Israeli-Palestinian Narrative

In an era dominated by search engines and instant information, Wikipedia holds an outsized influence. For millions of users, it is often the first — and sometimes the only — source of information on global events and historical contexts. Yet, as investigative journalist Ashley Rindsberg revealed in an explosive report, a quiet yet coordinated operation has taken root among the online encyclopedia’s editors, monumentally reshaping the way the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is perceived.

In a conversation with The Algemeiner this week, Rindsberg asserted that the campaign has “actually changed what appears to be the face of not just the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but of the entire justification for Israel’s right to exist and legitimacy, which is the real aim.”

Dagny Pawlak: Trudeau’s weak leadership is eroding Canada’s moral clarity when we need it most

 

This week’s anti-Israel protest at Parliament Hill’s Confederation Building highlighted the consequences of our political leadership’s failure to confront the deepening divisions within Canadian society over the Israel-Palestine conflict, as radical voices found their way to the very doorstep of those in power. The protest, ending with arrests, was a visible expression of the divisions taking root in Canadian society—a needless polarization fed by the kind of equivocation we’ve seen from our political leaders.

Germany’s appeasement of Islamists has got to stop

What was Berlin’s chief of police thinking, when she warned Jews and gay people to hide their identities in certain parts of the city?

In an interview last month in the Berliner Zeitung, Barbara Slowik said: ‘There are areas of the city, we need to be perfectly honest here, where I would advise people who wear a kippah or are openly gay or lesbian to be more careful.’ She also said that while she didn’t want to blame any one group for this, ‘there are certain neighbourhoods where the majority of people of Arab origin live, who also have sympathies for terrorist groups… and are openly hostile towards Jews’.

Avi Benolo: When it comes to antisemitism, silence is complicity

In a sea of complicity, acts of individual courage illuminate the darkness. One such moment, seared into my mind and giving me hope each day, is captured in a 1936 photograph of August Landmesser at the Blohm+Voss shipyard, where he alone crossed his arms, refusing to give the Nazi salute. His silent defiance became an enduring symbol of resistance to tyranny.


This is not an argument suited to Canada where for the past decade the public has been silenced by a Liberal government intent on criminalizing dissent to its policies.

The Liberal government has maliciously labeled anyone a racist who spoke out in opposition to its mass immigration policy.

That same Liberal government labeled anyone who spoke out against Islamist predation Islamophobic.

That same lunatic Liberal government labels you a transphobe because you refuse to believe women have penises.

In Canada governments at all levels have embraced DEI and its hate fueled fanatics who label even children as racist oppressors just because they have white skin.

Want a job in the civil service? Forget about it if you’re a White male.

Planning to stand up for your self if you’re “White”? Why you must be a nativist Nazi worse than Hitler!

My readers and I, a happy conglomerate of faiths, have been called all of those things over the years by our so called “elites” and organizations the Liberal government subsidizes.

A few prominent voices have spoken out against the perversity of DEI and its persecution of White people but most stood by in silence.

Was their silence also complicity?


There’s a lot going on today. B’nai Brith has embraced DEI hoping to win a coveted spot on the designated victimhood wall of fame and we just can’t wait to find out who the Villainous Oppressor Colonizers are keeping them down!

And now this … CIJA decides to sacrifice the JDL.

One-quarter of Canadians believe antisemitism is a serious problem: poll

One-quarter of Canadians believe that anti-Indigenous racism and antisemitism are very serious problems in Canada, according to a new national poll.

The poll, which was conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies, was released just weeks after Statistics Canada hate-crime data revealed that antisemitism accounted for about 70 per cent of religiously motivated hate crimes in 2023, despite Jewish people accounting for only about two per cent of the nation’s population. Anti-Indigenous sentiment was present in about three per cent of race-based hate crimes, while Indigenous people account for about five per cent of Canada’s population.
