We have always stood up for others. Who stands up for us now?
A number of years ago, I participated in a press conference alongside a group of Holocaust survivors to denounce the heinous and barbaric gassing of entire villages by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Following the so-called Arab Spring and his own citizens’ calls for freedom, al-Assad had murdered between 350,000 and 500,000 men, women and children, which constituted a genocide.
We saw hints of this shift last year. People began to note a “silence” from the usually reliable chorus of support for the Jewish community.
Part of the problem as I see it lay in the weaponization of hate by extreme-left groups such as the ADL, the SPLC and Canada’s silly junior club member Anti-Hate.ca. Anti-semitism by Progressives and Muslims is almost always given a pass by these groups while white people are painted as NAZIS in waiting just for being “White.”
Aided by their fellow travelers in academia and opportunistic politicians they encouraged the demonization of western culture and heritage and helped spawn the insanity of the Black Lives Matter movement. A spasm of anti-white hate that will harm the black community for many years to come.
In Canada questioning immigration, multiculturalism or diversity is typically enough to have you suspected of being at least NAZI adjacent.
Only recently has the national disaster of the Trudeau government’s mass immigration program forced people to find the nerve to speak out.
And where has that lead us? Mass celebrations of Hamas atrocities in our streets.
Bear in mind that these celebrants are not newcomers to our country they are the children of Muslim immigrants and their hatred of Jews and Israel is bred in the bone at home, in their community and in their mosques and long nurtured by our politicians and public institutions at all levels.
Grievance and entitled victimhood are called diversity, equity and inclusion. We should rename Islamic Heritage Month Hamas Appreciation Month if we really want to accurately celebrate the balkanization of Canadian society.
Tolerating the intolerable and pitting ethnic groups against one another may win you votes in Canada but it also hardens it’s intended victims.
A new report from Canada’s human rights watchdog says Christmas is a discriminatory holiday rooted in “colonialism.”
