Hitler Should Have Finished What He Started!

Is what a caller to Jacques Fabi's late night radio talk show said and Mr. Fabi was in full agreement with the caller.

The Jewish organization B'nai Brith Canada is demanding an apology from a Quebec talk show host who sympathized on the air with anti-Semitic statements.

A woman, who called herself Maria, phoned into Jacques Fabi's late night radio talk show on 98.5 FM last week.

She started by criticizing Israel for last week's bombings. Then she began to attack Jewish people and even lauded the Holocaust.

Fabi did not interrupt the woman, but continued the conversation and sympathized with her statements.

"I'd never dare say such a thing," he said, adding, "though you probably have the right."

Fabi said that there are consequences for people who speak negatively about Jewish people, especially in Montreal where there is such a significant Jewish population.

Then he went on to sympathize with the caller.

"If you asked me if the Jewish population can sometimes be annoying, I would say yes," he said.

In total, the conversation lasted for more than four minutes.

Steven Slimovitch, a lawyer for B'nai Brith Canada, said his inbox was flooded with emails from Jewish Quebecers following the broadcast.

"She basically says that Hitler should have finished what he started," Slimovitch said.

He said that his organization sent a formal letter to the radio station complaining about the comments. B'nai Brith also sent complaints to the CRTC and the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.

Slimovitch said the general director for the radio station, Réal Germain, replied to the complaint and said that measures would be taken to deal with the situation. David Crête, spokesman for 98.5 FM, said that sanctions have been taken against Fabi. "The comments that were aired earlier this week are unacceptable ... Hosts and journalists are subject to ethical rules. If they are not met, penalties are applied," he stated.

Slimovitch is asking for Fabi to apologize on air formally.

"There's no place for comments like that on a radio station. These are unacceptable comments and they beg a formal apology on the air,' he said.

B'nai Brith has asked CBC not to post the full interview, because it would further publicize anti-Semitic comments.

Now imagine if a caller said things like this about Muslims.  Does one think that a verbal apology would be enough?  No!

Mr. Fabi needs not a reprimand but to be fired immediately.  A message must be sent to the broadcast industry that anti-Semitism will not be tolerated.

UPDATE:

Mr. Fabi has not been fired, but suspended for one month without pay.

Montreal late-night radio talk show host Jacques Fabi has been suspended for one month without pay for not being tough enough with an anti-Semitic caller, CBC News reported on Monday.

In a statement, senior vice president Richard Lachance of COGECO Diffusion, which owns the station, 98.5FM, said Fabi regrets the incident.

"COGECO Diffusion and 98.5 FM do not endorse in any way these comments and deplore, without reservation, the on-air host's lack of judgment in this case," said Lachance.

A woman, who called herself Maria, phoned into Fabi's show last week.

He allowed her to continue speaking after she called the Holocaust a beautiful thing, reported CBC.

Fabi did not interrupt the woman, but continued the conversation and sympathized with her statements.

"I'd never dare say such a thing," he said, adding, "though you probably have the right."

Fabi said that there are consequences for people who speak negatively about Jewish people, especially in Montreal where there is such a significant Jewish population.

"If you asked me if the Jewish population can sometimes be annoying, I would say yes," he said.

In total, the conversation lasted for more than four minutes.

B'nai Brith Canada is demanding an on-air apology from Fabi. CBC reported that the organization sent a formal letter to the radio station complaining about the comments. B'nai Brith also sent complaints to the CRTC and the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council.

Steven Slimovitch, a lawyer for B'nai Brith Canada, said his inbox was flooded with emails from Jewish Canadians following the broadcast.

"She basically says that Hitler should have finished what he started," Slimovitch said. "There's no place for comments like that on a radio station. These are unacceptable comments and they beg a formal apology on the air.”

Last week, the office of a political-science professor and outspoken defender of Israel in Montreal was vandalized with anti-Semitic slogans. The words “Heil Israel”, written in French, were found scrawled on the professor’s office door at the Université du Québec à Montréal.

Greece's neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party recently set up an office in Montreal, in an effort to reach out to Greek citizens living abroad and widen its sphere of influence.

The party, which has become notorious for its blatant anti-Semitic and xenophobic rhetoric, openly displays copies of “Mein Kampf,” as well as other works on Greek racial superiority at party headquarters.

Party leader Nikos Michaloliakos has denied that ovens and gas chambers were used in Nazi concentration camps exterminate Jews during the Holocaust.

The party campaigned under the slogan “So we can rid the land of filth” and holds frequent rallies, chanting “Foreigners out of Greece!”

A slap on the wrist in this case.  Jacques Fabi needs to be fired and the station should apologize to the world wide Jewish community.  This man and that speaker was totally unacceptable in any CIVILIZED nation.

Hunger And Starvation Is Rampant In Canada!

Yes Canada.  According to Olivier de Schutter of Belgium the real problem area of hunger is Canada and not Africa, Syria, or even Asia.

From UN Watch:

As much of the world starves,a UN hunger expert investigates Canada

By Hillel Neuer

“There is no food and no clean water, nothing,” Mahmoud, a 12-year-old boy from Homs, Syria, told Reuters Thursday. “There is no shop open and we only have one meal a day. How can we live like that and survive?”

According to the World Food Program, half a million people don’t have enough to eat in Syria. Fears are growing that the regime is using hunger as a weapon.

This is the kind of emergency which should attract the attention of the UN Human Rights Council’s hunger monitor, who has the ability to spotlight situations and place them on the world agenda. Yet Olivier de Schutter of Belgium, the “Special Rapporteur on the right to food,” is not going to Syria.

Instead, the UN’s food monitor is coming to investigate Canada.

That’s right. Despite dire food emergencies around the globe, De Schutter will be devoting the scarce time and resources of the international community on an 11-day tour of Canada—a country that ranks at the bottom of global hunger concerns.

A key co-ordinator and promoter of De Schutter’s mission is Food Secure Canada, a lobby group whose website accuses the Harper government of “failing Canadians…and [failing to] fulfill the right to food for all.” The group calls instead for a “People’s Food Policy.”

I asked De Schutter if his time wouldn’t better be spent on calling attention to countries that actually have starving people.

“Globally, 1.3 billion people are overweight or obese,” he responded via his spokesperson, “and this causes a range of diseases such as certain types of cancers, cardio-vascular diseases or (especially) type-2 diabetes that are a huge burden.”

In other words, the hunger expert is not even that interested in hunger, but the opposite. Sure, we should all eat less fries, but do Canadians need a costly UN inquiry to tell us that?

Before Canadians can take De Schutter seriously, they ought to ask him some serious questions about whether his mission is about human rights or a political agenda.

First, consider the origins of the UN’s “right to food” mandate. In voluminous background information provided by De Schutter and his local promoters, there’s no mention that their sponsor was Cuba, a country where some women resort to prostitution for food. De Schutter does not want you to know that Havana’s Communist government created his post, nor that the co-sponsors included China, North Korea, Iran and Zimbabwe.

These and other repressive regimes are seeking a political weapon to attack the West. That is why the first person they chose to fill the post, when it started in 2000, was Jean Ziegler. The former Swiss Socialist politician was a man they could trust: In 1989, he announced to the world the creation of the Muammar Gaddafi Human Rights Prize.

The award spread propaganda for its namesake, and elevated his ideological allies. Recipients include Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. In 2002, the prize went to convicted French Holocaust denier Roger Garaudy — and to Jean Ziegler himself.

From 2000 to 2008, Ziegler’s UN reports and probes turned a blind eye to the world’s hungry. Instead he attacked America, the West, capitalism and Israel. The human rights council applauded him, and repeatedly renewed his mandate. Only because of term limits did they replace him in 2008 with De Schutter, who praises and emulates his predecessor.

De Schutter’s consistent argument is that if there is hunger, Western countries are to blame. His attacks on international trade are so ideologically extreme that even Pascal Lamy, head of the World Trade Organization and a member of the French Socialist party, criticized De Schutter’s approach for threatening to drive food prices higher and “exacerbating the negative impacts on poor consumers.”

Second, even when they visit the right countries, Ziegler and De Schutter reach the wrong conclusions. Ziegler went to Cuba, but it was a staged visit that hailed Castro’s policies as almost divine. De Schutter went to Syria—in 2010, long before the current crisis — and mentioned several problems, but his report took pains to repeatedly praise the Assad regime.

Like Ziegler, De Schutter has repeatedly made one-sided attacks on Israel lacking any nexus to his mandate. Last July, he issued a pre-emptive attack against his own boss, in a press release titled “UN Special Rapporteur opposes Ban Ki-Moon’s conclusions on flotilla.” De Schutter was outraged that a panel appointed by the UN chief found that Israel’s blockade of Gaza, to stop Hamas importing Iranian missiles, was actually legal — contradicting what De Schutter’s human rights council had said the year before.

Hunger is a human rights issue. Tragically, what most interests De Schutter and his council is scapegoating the West. For the next two weeks, that means Canada.

When your bosses are Cuba, China, North Korea, Iran and Zimbabwe no wonder you will be investigating Canada for hunger and starvation instead of North Korea or Zimbabwe.

This is just one example of the stupidity and insanity in that Tower of Babel called the United Nations.

Obama To The American People:

F**k You!

Once again the Obama regime fails to provide sound energy and job programs.  Instead of looking to our neighbor to the north, Canada and their oil sands for some energy independence (From Muslim oil), he will be cancelling the Keystone Pipeline.  A project that will bring 100,000 jobs (20,000 Shovel-ready.).

The State Department will announce the decision on Keystone XL pipeline is "no," as early as Wednesday, an industry source told Fox News, suggesting that the department will say 60 days is inadequate time to do the required environmental impact assessment on the path of the coveted pipeline.

For three years, the State Department has been reviewing the initial proposal to run a pipeline from Canada down to Texas through a sensitive Nebraska aquifer -- authority it has because of the transnational path the route takes. The pipeline had been through several other federal, state and local approvals, but the department backed away from signing off on the plan last year after environmentalists complained.

Industry workers and Republicans contend the project would create thousands of jobs, and Canada's prime minister has warned if the U.S. can't get on board, the North American nation will look to team with China.

"Unfortunately Prime Minister Harper of Canada just this week said because of the volatile indecisiveness on the part of this president, that they feel they are being held hostage and they will take their energy elsewhere specifically to Asia and China," Jack Gerard, president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, told Fox News Radio.

In December, Congress attached to the payroll tax cut a deadline of 60 days for the State Department to determine approval for an alternative route. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner pointed out that the legislation doesn't permit the State Department to reject the plan, only President Obama. The language says if he rejects the pipeline, Obama must then issue a report to Congress "that provides a justification for determination, including consideration of economic, employment, energy security, foreign policy, trade and environmental factors."

On Tuesday, Obama's own jobs council suggested that it agrees with the pipeline concept. While not specifically mentioning Keystone in a report out Tuesday about improving competitiveness, the council said that when it comes to energy projects in general, the government needs to "expeditiously, though cautiously, move forward on projects that can support hundreds of thousands of jobs."

"We think this all-in energy strategy can create significant economic growths and significant job creation," said Lewis Hay, NextEra Energy CEO and a member of the president's job council.

Obama has noted his environmental concerns when it comes to energy exploration but insisted Tuesday that a balance could be found.

"I think the recommendations are sound. We see enormous potential in production of traditional fossil fuels," he said without mentioning Keystone.

As oil prices rose Wednesday on fresh signs the U.S. economy was improving, which could lead to stronger demand for gasoline and other energy products, the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, argued that the pipeline doesn't make the U.S. anymore energy secure just because it would get oil from a close neighbor and friend.

Instead of carrying common crude oil, the Keystone XL pipeline would carry thick, toxic bitumen for refining in the Gulf states, effectively transporting pollution from Canada to the United States," reads the NRDC report..

"It is not in the national interest to lock the United States into supporting an expensive and dirty form of oil for many years to come. Also, additional capacity for tar sands oil perpetuates America's addiction to oil, and undermines the clean energy alternatives that would bring genuine energy security," the NRDC report continues.

But Gerard said the president's refusal to approve the pipeline is a "clear abdication of leadership." House Speaker John Boehner also accused the president of trying to put off a politically difficult decision until after the election.

"This is not good for our country," Boehner said. "The president wants to put this off until it's convenient for him to make a decision. ... The president's got an opportunity to create 100,000 new jobs almost immediately. The president should say yes."

Barack Hussein Obama has given into the extreme Environmental Moonbats.  These are the kooks that want the world to go back to the time we lived without electricity, modern medicine, cars, etc...  And Sheik Obama agrees with them.  But instead of Sheik Obama assuming the blame on this disastrous decision, he will now be able to blame the State Department (Hillary Clinton) for the decision.  Just like he tries to do every time.

The Ottawa Protocol on Combating Antisemitism

In the last 40 years the world has seen a steady rise of Anti-Semitism.  This rise coincides with the rise of Muslim immigration to European nations, Canada and the United States.  This is not a coincidence.  Anti-Semitism is not only rampant but is public policy in every Muslim nation in the world.

The Ottawa Protocol is an effort to combat it.

The Ottawa Protocol on Combating Antisemitism


Preamble

We, Representatives of our respective Parliaments from across the world, convening in Ottawa for the second Conference and Summit of the Inter-parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism, note and reaffirm the London Declaration on Combating Antisemitism as a template document for the fight against antisemitism.

We are concerned that, since the London Conference in February 2009, there continues to be a dramatic increase in recorded antisemitic hate crimes and attacks targeting Jewish persons and property, and Jewish religious, educational and communal institutions.

We remain alarmed by ongoing state-sanctioned genocidal antisemitism and related extremist ideologies. If antisemitism is the most enduring of hatreds, and genocide is the most horrific of crimes, then the convergence of the genocidal intent embodied in antisemitic ideology is the most toxic of combinations.
We are appalled by the resurgence of the classic anti-Jewish libels, including:

• The Blood Libel (that Jews use the blood of children for ritual sacrifice)
• The Jews as "Poisoners of the Wells" - responsible for all evils in the world
• The myth of the "new Protocols of the Elders of Zion" - the tsarist forgery that proclaimed an international Jewish conspiracy bent on world domination - and accuses the Jews of controlling government, the economy, media and public institutions.
• The double entendre of denying the Holocaust - accusing the Jews of fabricating the Holocaust as a hoax - and the nazification of the Jew and the Jewish people.

We are alarmed by the explosion of antisemitism and hate on the Internet, a medium crucial for the promotion and protection of freedom of expression, freedom of information, and the participation of civil society.

The Year Of The Buycott

That is correct.  Buycott.  It started in April with the call to boycott Israeli wines for Passover.  A boycott that not only fell flat, but backfired upon the organizers as seen by the pictures here (hat tip to Israel Matzav).  For every time that a call to boycott Israel came alive in Canada, the community was notified, and they came out to buy Israeli products.

It has spread from Canada to the US when there was a boycott of Ahava products called from the idiots whores of Code Pink.  That has failed.

On World Refugee Day Pity The Idiot, Murdering Arab Day, there was a call to boycott Israeli Products at Trader Joe's.  According to the company, they saw their greatest one-day sales profits on that day.

Yes. The tactic of boycotting Israeli Products is working well in Canad and the United States.

Another anti-Zionist attempted boycott in Canada has backfired, with Israeli products enjoying sales rates much higher than usual.



Anti-Israel groups had threatened MEC – Canada’s Mountain Equipment Co-op - with a boycott because of its inclusion of Israeli products in its inventory. But barely anyone showed up for the boycott, and instead, large crowds of Israel supporters came to buy Israeli products.

The Canada Jewish Tribune reports that several MEC stores across Canada experienced unusually high sales for its Israeli products on Sunday of last week. Shelves with Israeli-made products – numerous styles of seamless underwear and hydration systems products – had to be re-stocked a couple of times each day.

What had been planned as giant demonstrations against Israel in Toronto and Vancouver resulted in tiny-to-small groups of protestors who were dwarfed by crowds of Zionists purchasing Israeli items. B’nai Brith and the Canada-Israel Committee joined forces to organize a “buy-cott” in response to the boycott.

Salomon Rayek of B’nai Brith Canada in Vancouver reported total success, saying that only three anti-Israel demonstrators showed up at the MEC store in Calgary on Saturday, while the next day, “a large number of Jews and Israel’s supporters showed up at the stores and spent a good chunk of money buying Israeli products... I understand that in Toronto about 20 protesters showed up to protest, and on the next day there was a very large Jewish and pro-Israel presence [coming] to buy Israeli goods."

Shades of April 2009

The story appears to be a repeat of what occurred in April of this year at a Toronto liquor store.

After a Jewish non-Zionist group tried to organize an anti-Israel protest in front of the store, asking Passover celebrants to mark their holiday without Israeli-made wines, hundreds of pro-Israeli consumers took the opportunity to hold a pro-Israel festival and bought up the store’s entire stock of Israeli wine.

Brands such as Carmel, Barkan, Golan Heights, Gush Etzion (Efrat), Binyamina, Baron, Segal Dalton and others were sold out within a matter of hours.

What started as a way to counter the anti-Semantic idea of boycotting Israeli wines, is turning into a movement to counter the hate.

BUYCOTT ISRAEL!

It is time to take action!  Time to put your money where your mouth is.  To find out how, click here.  Do it for your conscience.  Do it to stick it to Code Pink.  But most importantly:  Do it because it is the right thing to do!

Buy Israel!

Canada does it again!!

For the upteenth time the nation of Canada has turned out for its support of Israel.

Directly from Carl in Jerusalem on his blog Israel Matzav.

Remember the old joke about how for an Irish wedding you double the liquor and for a Jewish wedding you halve it. Don't believe it. I got the email and pictures below from a reader in Toronto who asks to remain anonymous. This is truly a beautiful story:

Hi Carl,

There was a boycott of Israeli wine at the largest Ontario LCBO (Ontario's liquor distributor) by a group called Not In Our Name (see info at http://www.nion.ca/) and another Palestinian organization (I'm not sure specifically which one). In a counter move, Toronto's Jewish community mobilized and showed up in the hundreds to buy all the Israeli wine at this LCBO. I heard from someone outside that they sold over 500 cases in a matter of a half hour. By the time I got there, about 30 minutes into the counter protest, there was no more Israeli wine available, and the boycotters had left in defeat. Here are some pictures if you are interested for your blog. If you are interested, please refrain from using my name. Thanks and I love the blog.

You can view the pictures here.

Carl actually received quite a few confirmations on this story. Each one repeating the same thing.

Each and every Canadian has yet another thing to be proud of. This time the good guys were able to out number and out maneuver the opposition.

Well done our Northern Friends. Well done!

Ayers The Guy Nobody Wants

Bill Ayers, noted educator, friend of Barack Obama, and unrepentant terrorist, was politely told you're not welcome here by of all places: Canada.

William Ayers, the 1960s radical whose ties to President-elect Barack Obama caused trouble for his campaign, was turned away from Canada Sunday night as he tried to enter the country for a series of educational events.

Jeffrey Kugler, the executive director for the Center for Urban Schooling at the University of Toronto, said Ayers was deemed not admissible after being pulled aside by Canadian immigration officials while trying to clear customs at the Toronto airport.

Ayers had been invited to speak before the center. He was also scheduled to meet with the Toronto District School Board and do interviews with Canadian television and radio stations, Kugler said.

Kugler said the center sent e-mails notifying guests who planned to attend Ayers' talk that he had been turned back. Kugler said the center will try to reschedule Ayers.

Ayers, a co-founder of the violent Weather Underground group and current education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told the Toronto Star that he didn't know why he had been turned away.

According to Kugler, Ayers was told he could request a hearing but that would mean some sort of detention and a possible two week wait. Ayers opted to return to Chicago.

That is the second time in a week that Canada has done the right thing. What ever Canadians are doing keep it up. You should be very proud of yourselves and your nation. A great pat on the back is in order.

Oh Canada!

Every once and a while Canada rears up its mighty head and roars. You sometimes cannot hear it due to the din coming from its neighbor below, but on Monday the roar was loud!

Yesterday, Canada was the sole member of the UN Human Rights Council to vote against a resolution, which passed in a 33-1 vote, condemning Israel over its actions in Gaza.

The vote crystallized Canada's emergence under Stephen Harper's government as one of Israel's firmest supporters.

At a meeting in Geneva, Canada asked for a recorded vote to emphasize its complaint that the resolution drafted by Arab, Asian and African countries did not recognize that Israel acted to stop Hamas rocket attacks.

European countries abstained, along with Japan and South Korea, because they felt the resolution lacked balance - it gave only brief mention to rocket attacks. Neither Israel nor the United States are in the 47-member council.

Oh what cowards are in Europe, Japan and South Korea. Instead of rising to the occasion, they slink back into their slimy holes that they have crawled out of.

Canada is not a superpower. It doesn't have a large population compared to its land size. It is the butt of numerous jokes in the United States. It does have more Chutzpah than all of the non-voters put together.

Today if you see a Canadian shake his or her hand and tell them "Way to go!" If you are a Canadian I salute you and your nation for the courage to do the right thing.

Oh Canada

And The World Turns A Blind Eye.

In the 1930's the world turned a blind eye on to what Hitler's Germany was doing to its Jewish population. Anti-semitism was acceptable in all nations, and the majority of people in most nations wished they could do the same.

Then came the Holocaust and the world was shamed into a more civilized manner. Anti-semitism was the venue for the fridge on the very far right, the neo-Nazis, the Skinheads, the KKK.

Not any more.

For it has raised its ugly head. Not only in Muslim nations where it is state policy, but in every nation in Europe, Canada and now the United States. Outside of Israel, there is no nation in this world that a Jew is truly safe.

Europe:

Assailants rammed a burning car into the gates of a synagogue in Toulouse, in southwest France, Monday night.

A Jewish congregation in Helsingborg, in southern Sweden, was attacked Monday night by someone who "broke a window and threw in something that was burning," said police spokesman Leif Nilsson. And on Sunday slogans, including "murderers ... You broke the cease-fire," were daubed on Israel's Embassy in Stockholm.

In Denmark, a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon to Palestinian parents is alleged to have injured two young Israelis last week in a shooting police suspect could be linked to the Gaza crisis. Belgium ordered police in Antwerp and Brussels to be on increased state of alert" Tuesday after recent pro-Palestinian protests ended in violence and arrests.

Jews in the small Strasbourg suburb of Lingolsheim in eastern France woke up Tuesday to find graffiti with words like "assassins" spray-painted on the outside walls of their synagogue. The community filed a complaint for "degradation of a place of worship," the mayor's office said.

Not being satisfied with just protesting, the anti-Semities are turning to looting after their "peaceful" protests.

Great Britain:

The number of anti-Semitic attacks in London has risen sharply following Israel's land assault on Gaza, Jewish community groups said today.

Their leaders have compiled a dossier of attacks against Jews which will be handed to seniors officers in the Metropolitan police.

The attacks include claims of:

• An attempt to burn down a synagogue in north-west London.
• An assault on a Jewish motorist who was pulled from his car and punched.
• A gang of youths chanting anti-Semitic slogans as they tried to enter restaurants and shops in Golders Green.

The Community Security Trust, which is responsible for the safety of Jews in Britain, has also noted the emergence of anti-Semitic graffiti in Jewish areas across London.

Slogans sprayed on walls include: 'Kill Jews' and 'Jews are scumbags.'

The trust has now logged 24 anti-Semitic incidents - most of them in London - in the past week. Police are said to be stepping up patrols in Jewish areas.

On New Year's Eve, a man was pulled from his car just as he was about to drive off and assaulted by three men whom he described as being of Arab appearance.

The victim did not suffer any serious injury. The same night a gang of youths alarmed locals in Golders Green by trying to enter Jewish shops while chanting anti-Israeli slogans.

Joey Ben-Yoav, manager of nearby Met Su Yan, a kosher Chinese restaurant in Golders Green, said: "It was scary. They were waving flags and shouting. It felt like if we went out they would hit us or something.

'They walked past a few Jews and just shouted 'Jew' at them. They did not look like they were in the mood for making peace.'

But I have come to expect that from Great Britain now. They are practically a Muslim nation with the implementation of Shar'ia Law, and no-go areas for Muslims only.

New Zealand:

A memorial monument to prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in Wellington, New Zealand was defaced with red paint during a demonstration on Monday against the IDF operation in Gaza.

According to Web site Stuff.co.nz, about 100 protesters converged at the monument in Lambton Quay, where Wellington Palestinian Group spokesman Don Carson criticized the lack of New Zealand government response, calling it weak and one-sided, and urged it to enter talks with Hamas.

"Let's send a message to our politicians to damn well do something," he said.

One of the demonstrators, Father Gerard Burn, then sprinkled red paint, mixed with a drop of his own blood, on the monument to mark the killing of hundreds of Palestinians and the seizure of their land.

Members of the crowd chanted "They kill, they lie but Palestine will never die", "Allahu Akhbar" and "Free, free Palestine".

I see the Catholic Church is back up to its usual anti-Semitic behavior. The old Kill the Jews chant will probably be standard in Father Burn's church every Sunday now.

Canada:

Ontario’s largest university workers’ union is proposing a ban on Israeli academics teaching in the province’s universities, in a move that echoes previous attempts to boycott goods and services from the Jewish state.

The resolution, proposed by CUPE’s Ontario University Workers Coordinating Committee, is in protest against a Dec. 29 bombing that damaged the Islamic University in Gaza.

“In response to an appeal from the Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees, we are ready to say Israeli academics should not be on our campuses unless they explicitly condemn the university bombing and the assault on Gaza in general,” said Sid Ryan, president of CUPE Ontario.

The resolution is still being drafted but the union said it will seek to prohibit Israeli academics from speaking, teaching or researching at Ontario universities. The CUPE committee will distribute the resolution to its members at the end of the month.

It will be put to a vote at the committee’s annual conference in February.

Why does this not surprise me? Canada which prides itself on civil behavior has turned into a haven for hatemongers and anti-Semites.

The United States:

Chicago:

A bottle of flammable liquid was hurled at one of Chicago's oldest synagogues, catching fire but not causing major damage.

No one was injured in the incident early Monday at Temple Sholom of Chicago.
Chicago police and the Chicago fire department are investigating the arson as a hate crime. No one was in custody Monday.

Police officer Daniel O'Brien says the fire burned itself out and never ignited the North Side building. He says investigators are working to get surveillance equipment from the area.

Roger Rudich, president of the temple, says the arson was unsettling but not damaging.

Rallies in Anaheim, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and other US cities.

And then this:

Subject: `stop the killing` campaign at U.S. synagogues
To: nyprotest@lists.riseup.net
Date: Sun, 04 Jan 2009 08:41:02 -0800
Subject: NO MORE DEMOS

No more demos. No more signs, chants, pithy t shirts. No more marches to nowhere.

And DEFINITELY no more emails to Congress, or heart-felt messages to Change.Gov and Obama, begging the conspirators to stop the conspiracy.

We each one of us is responsible - and we each one of us must take action. We cannot rely on Others to do it for us.

Here is an excellent article, with a detailed list of actions we can take, from James Petras.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21613.htm

I have strongly suggested to many different so-called action groups, that we immediately institute a program of visits to every synagogue in the USA, on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings, and rise in each congregation and - in dignified firm and unemotional voices - repeat “STOP THE KILLING”– We need to go in groups of 3-4, to insure that we have 1 person as a defensive shield, and one as a video camera witness, recording everything.

Jews especially should be doing these actions. We will face harsh treatment, and possibly physical attack, but our message must be resolute and continue week after week.

I see no possible legal impediment to this. The public, and certainly Jews- cannot be barred from entry to the services, and it will be extremely hard for the Synagogues to enforce exclusion. If they do, we can speak on the front steps, on the street, in the parking lot.

The Jews of America must be confronted with their clear responsibility- far more than complicity-in the mass murders, occupation, and forced starvation of the people of Palestine.

And the MSM sees none of this, doesn't report any of this, turns a blind eye.

In 1933 the world turned a blind eye when Germany slid down the slippery slope that led to the Holocaust. In 2009 the world is again turning a blind eye to anti-Semitism in their own lands. The media is giving approval for the rhetoric, the violence. The police half-heartedly investigate, and the politicians in each nation say nothing, do nothing to stop it.

And Jews around the world pray for this cycle to end.




But fueled by groups like CAIR, it will only get worse.

Justice for Princess

We all wonder what is the results of weak parenting and PC madness. We see children who should have a conscience turn into monsters due to the above. I thought I had heard or read every imaginable profanity that these monsters could do. I have heard of girls throwing their children into the trash, cooking them in the microwave to get back the child's father, shooting paintballs at unsuspecting bystanders, but the following is one of the worst I've read.

Imagine you and your family going away on vacation during Christmas. Perhaps you are visiting family or the whole clan is having a special family reunion at a resort. You have had a wonderful holiday and return home to discover this.

5 hooligans break into your home. They punch holes in the walls, guitars were smashed, and a television was destroyed. The rampage lasted 2 nights. The group had a great time. $10,000 in damages were done. But these monsters didn't just do this. They had the audacity to go one step further.

But the most disturbing crime was described in a felt-pen scrawl on the kitchen window and cabinets: “You had a nice cat” and “it's in the microwave.”

Inside was the family's pet, Princess.

“The cat was screaming in the microwave for 10 minutes while it was essentially cooked to death,” said Crown prosecutor John Laluk.

“What makes it worse is they not only tortured the cat, but they wanted to torture the family. This was a deliberate attempt to inflict pain on the homeowners.”

These monsters really knew how to party. And what did the nice people in Alberta do to these monsters?

Two 16-year-old Alberta boys who admitted to breaking into a neighbour's house, putting the family cat in a microwave and then watching it cook to death have been sentenced to one year of probation and 100 hours of community service.

Youth court Judge Shauna Miller also banned the pair from owning pets for two years, which means one of the teen's family will have to give up a dog they purchased just 10 months ago.

A slap on the wrist. Why not send them to bed without their dinner? And what do the parents say? Do they hold their heads in shame and weep for what their sons did? No.

Chris Millsap, the other defense lawyer, described his client as a gifted musician who plays in the church band.

“There's no explanation ... for such a heinous crime,” said Mr. Millsap. “He's a very good kid who did something very wrong.”

Wrong again! Good kids don't do these things. Animals do.

These monsters got off, they said their sorry and the judge let them go. But the owners of Princess will mourn their kitty's loss forever. And justice. Well she was no where in sight today. Maybe tomorrow, but not as long as PC rules the day.

Vancouver: The Fight For Freedom

This is an ongoing series of reports from Covenant Zone in Vancouver.


I think we've got you on our hand-out for tomorrow morning at the local court house where we will be staging a small and low-key demonstration in support of free speech in Canada and the world at large. We've had a great reaction so far. Tomorrow at 8:00 we'll see who shows up to support us, and we'll see if the man on the street cares at all about this issue as of yet. In time we'll succeed but for now we're still not so well known.

My colleagues at Covenant Zone and I have put together two double-sided pages to hand out tomorrow. I have done a couple of my won that we won't hand out, this being Canada where people are professionally timid. The people are my friends and colleagues, so I make allowance, particularly given that I am a guest in this country. However, the Internet is not Canada, and the following links are from my blog, representing me alone.

Let us do nothing while there is time.

The soul selects her own society.

There are links to covenant zone at the bottom of each piece here. I'll try to write up a short intro for your blog, if I may post it there through you. This is a very foreign nation, stranger all the more so for being on the surface so much like America. It i not at all America. Here, the thought of free speech is not automatic, and the creature who claims the "free speech in an American concept" is right. my colleagues here are not strong believers in aggressive freedom. Thus, seeing them protesting in favor of Mark Steyn is remarkable to the nth degree. I hope this gives you and your readers some comfort, as it does me.

I'd like to be in touch with your blog more often that I have been, and if this trial winds down quickly I'll make an attempt to respond to comments direct to me there more promptly than I have so far. I apologize to your readers for that. I still have to make a living, poor excuse that that is but it's the one that has me.

Vancouver: The Heroic Struggle

This is an ongoing series of reports from Covenant Zone in Vancouver.


Primo Levi was an Italian intellectual, a man who had a Ph. D. in chemistry, held down a good job, and lived a quiet life as a Jewish guy in a small European city, everything pretty ordinary and sort of nice. Then one day he landed at Auschwitz. Eventually he committed suicide.

I'm happy to write that there's more to this story. It's not a happy story, but it's a story worth knowing, I think. In the abstract, it's our story today. I'll keep it very brief.

Levi survived the death camp. He did so by surviving. I mean, and he explains, he survived because he wanted to survive, and he thought about it, and he discovered there were ways of surviving, ways others didn't think through, those others dying in their millions. We know it's millions. We know Levi survived because he wrote Survival at Auschwitz. We know from his book that he survived, ultimately, by chance. And if we try to think he survived because God spared him to write this book, then I suggest that God could have found any number of better writers, probably far better people, to do a better job. Levi isn't a great thinker, not a great writer, not a great person. Any of a million other people could have written the kind of book he wrote. That's why it's important: because he's ordinary. He's only exceptional in that he survived Auschwitz. In his book he summarizes the experience in a essay entitled "The Drowned and the Saved." I put it to you, dear reader, that we face the same situation Levi faced, though not so brutally and immediately, but the same dilemma of life: Do we live or do we die? I don't mean to liken the world to a death camp; I hope to bring to our attention the problem we face, that Levi faced, in whether we will live rather than die. Levi faced an immediate problem by the moment. We face something different but we face a problem of being in the same sense Levi did. What kind of people are we? Are we the Drowned or are we the Saved?

Levi relates that he witessed people disembarking from trains, that they were lined up, sorted out, some sent to die immediately, the rest sorted out for death by, among other means quicker, exhaustion and starvation. We, of course, don't face that kind of immediate physical threat, but I suggest we face threat as dire in the long term, the existential threat of dying like those disembarking from trains at a death camp. Levi claims he didn't want to know those around him, didn't give them names, didn't think of them as alive at all. it wasn't cruelty or apathy or hatred. Those who disembarked from the trains, those not singled out for immediate murder en masse, we given labor specifically engineered to cause their deaths within three weeks if they followed the rules assigned them. Most, the vast majority, and almost to a man, followed the rules. They followed rules designed to murder them. He saw those around him as not alive to begin with, their deaths not being anything more than a formality. They were, he writes, the drowned.

Levi committed suicide, as did many survivors of the death camps, and as do many survivors of other horrors. He died, though, after he survived Auschwitz. Was it worth it? Having an answer to that will tell what kind of person one is.

It is the natural fate of most of Humanity to follow even unto death that which they follow regardless. Who knows? people are social and they do as others do, even if that is to die by murder. In circumstances less dramatic than Levi's one has the luxury of sympathy. I find that I have written for a number of years now the same phrase: "We are blessed." We are blessed with the chance to care about those who have no idea of their peril. We re blessed in that we can take our lives and do some great thing in the defense of the defenseless, those disembarking from the trains of societies unraveling before our very eyes daily. All are lost in this life, and none survive. Till then, that time, is it worth the living?

Those who never ask such a question are those who deserve never to have to ask such a question; but they might be faced with such a forceful thing. It is our blessing that we will be ahead of all in our defense of the unquestioning. I'm sorry to say it's nothing dramatic we can do. no costumes like a comic book hero, no fancy space weapons to blast down enemies by the score. We can do this great task set for us by simply sitting quietly, talking. If we're saved.

Again I've made a long preamble to a short point. Here in Vancouver, Canada we, my mates and I, sit in the main hall of the city library once a week, talking and drinking coffee and swapping books and so on, like any of hundreds of others around us. We are very unexceptional. Some might say, some indeed have said, we are boring. We seek such people. We have, actually, found many. To a degree, they are in trouble that affects their lives deeply. You might know of some of them by name. Mark Steyn is one. Ezra Levant is another. Kathy Shaidle, too. No one is pointing a gun at their heads, not directing them to death chambers. This is, after all, Canada. Here, the situation is different, less violent than many other places, but as creepy and worsening as one might find anywhere that fascism has seeped into the fabric of society. It will only get worse if people drown in the rule-following of conformity and sociable behaviour. It's the nature of things.

Last evening, Thursday, we met as we do every Thursday evening, to discuss events in the nation and beyond regarding jihad and Left dhimmi fascism. We focussed our discussion on Steyn, Levant, et al. No costume changes, no ray-guns, we simply sit and talk and plan as we can to assist our colleagues in the struggle to stop the Leftist fascism now so deeply rooted in the West. What can we, as bloggers and private citizens, do?

There is no shortage of issues, here or elsewhere, to do with jihad and Left dhimmi fascism. So, along with our discussion of Styne and company, we discussed as well the local situation that includes people in the immediate area, those under attack in various devious ways, by the socialist political party that runs a good half of the city. We have contacted and befriended a number of those who are struggling to wrest control of a community center from professional "social activists." As it happens, the latter group have strong liking in their public announcements for the use of Stalinist cliches and Maoist phraseology. It's not surprising, given that one of their numbers showed up on television at his election to the city council wearing a Che Guevara tee-shirt. Not surprising that one of the clique referred to the area as a "Maoist Liberation Zone." We sit at the library and talk. We aren't particularly dramatic. We talk about free speech, how to protect people who exercise it, those who are penalized for doing so. And sometimes they just go too far and we go picket the bastards and make ourselves real visible and heard over their shouting! There come times when enough is enough and one must stand up and start making it known it's too much at all.

We might even lose this struggle not just for the right to speak freely in public but to live at all. We might find ourselves attacked by ever-more emboldened jihadis. We've had our minor encounters. There might well come a time when we can't face them down without a fight. We're talkers and writers and thinkers. We aren't brawlers. But we're not going to drown, either. If there's any way to prevent it, we won't let our societies drown in the muck of collectivist fascism. We might go down with the rest, but we'll go down trying to swim. Yes, it's hopeless, and we'll all go down someday, never to return and lost for eternity. But not till then. Till that time we go on and we sit like the best of men who talk. We drink coffee and we even eat cookies. That's what I ask of you, dear reader. What kind of person are you?

If anyone were more heroic than we, I'd get nervous. What would we have in that case? We don't need hot-headed people looking for instant and eternal answers to all of life's problems. We seek instead comrades in an endless struggle to preserve what good we have and to extend it beyond it's current boundaries and to others who might or might not develop it further. But we live scattered across the wide globe and we might never meet face to face, hand in hand. We might have to rely on knowing that you and yours sit quietly in libraries talking to those who feel like you, that freedom is worth preserving and extending in your neighbourhood against those who would extinguish it from our nation and these lands. it doesn't take much to further the freedoms our forefathers died for. We do our parts just by sitting in public letting the world know we are there. And they do know. For all the lack of drama, we frighten the Death hippies in this city. Because people whisper about us now, whereas before they stayed silent and did what they were told, obeying the rules that allowed the creation of this nasty little police state in Canada. All it take is sitting down to talk. I hope that you will, in your town or your city, do the same for the sake of all.

I'll return next week if I may to bring some news of Mark Styne who will face the government in a hearing against him for having written a book, America Alone. As well, i hope to have news of a local nature on the Maoist liberation Zone's community centre election of a board of directors, some of whom were last term evicted from the building for daring to question the ruling cliques right to do as they pleased, which is to run a campaign headquarters on union wages to re-elect a Communist M.P. from this city. this story will never end, and shouldn't end. it's the nature of life that we will always have to work to preserve and extend the good. And because we can, friend, I say, "We are blessed."

Vancouver: Fighting the Thought Police

This is an ongoing series of reports from Covenant Zone in Vancouver.


Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don't give it any value. ---Dean Stacy, Canadian Human Rights Commission

It's Thursday in Vancouver, Canada, and that can only mean one thing: The Blue Revolution comes again to the public library to meet openly and as subversively as possible in the atrium outside Blenz coffee bar. We don't do this to upset the thought police in the country, but as soon as they clear their roster for trials against Mark Styne, Erzra Levant, Kathy Shaidle and co, I suspect they'll find a way to bring us up on charges too. We meet once a week here in Vancouver to talk about, among other things, free speech, which as you see above, is an American thing. What you might not have known is that according to the CHRC, that means it's not a Canadian thing. And who or what is the CHRC? Damned if I know.

They're the thought police here, but what is that? What, aside from a group of quasi-judicial provincial and federal government employees with the power to enter your home or office at any time they find reasonable to look for anything they might find of interest to themselves regarding a complaint anyone at all might have made about you being a hate-monger, and then having the power to haul you before their commission to have a hearing, which, by the way, you need a lawyer to defend you from, (while the complaintant has his paid for by the government) and which, unfortunately for you, you have no chance of winning since the government bureaucrats have never lost even one case, i.e they've won 100 percent of their cases against "hate-mongers', you can then get socked with an entirely government backed-up by the police fine of up to $50,000.00. That's part of what the thought police CHRC is. And it gets worse, unfortunately. Worse and worse and worse daily. If you haven't see so far, look at the youtube videos of Ezra Levant for some black humor and more details of this madness. Dean Steacy, as above, he's a government bureaucrat who files charges against hate-mongers. He's one of the thought-police here. I'm not making it up. Crazy, yes, but it's true. And eventually the CHRC thought police are going to come for me and the people I meet with every Thursday evening at the library. When they do we do not stand a chance of defending ourselves against them. No one does.Not ever.

"[F}or an organization that is supposed to promote 'human rights,' the HRC's agents seem curiously oblivious to basic aspects of constitutional law. In one famous exchange during the Lemire case, Steacy was asked 'What value do you give freedom of speech when you investigate?" -- to which he replied "Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don't give it any value.' "

I'm living in a foreign country, and this one is so foreign I can't shake my head hard enough to see straight when I encounter the kind of insanity that passes for law and government here. This is Canada, only a few hundred miles from Seattle, only a short drive to America. This place is mad with politically correct thought police run amok. It's a porous border, friend. If you come here, you can be arrested for saying the wrong thing, and you can end up bankrupt for it, criminalized, and ruined. This mad place is coming to you, however slowly, and not so slowly at that.

My friends and I meet in public once a week in the main library to talk about jihad and left dhimmi fascism. We sit in the open, and anyone who cares to know does know that we do so. We face down jihadis, we confront Death hippies who can barely restrain themselves from attacking us physically. We stand up to them, and we sit every week for a couple of hours to show we won't be silenced by this kind of government sanctioned madness. They'll come for us someday. till then, we sit and challenge them to come today. This might be the day. We won't know till they come for us. I'm asking you to sit with us. I'm asking you to face the same danger. To take the same risk of losing and being hurt.

Free speech is an American thing. I don't expect anyone from out of town to actually sit with us this day, but I do ask that you think about sitting in your own city library with your own friends as we do here to discuss the case of free speech in Canada. We're going to talk again this evening about Mark Styne, who'll be here in a few weeks to face his own inquisition before the CHRC's provincial arm, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. you can do that now if you choose to. You can sit with people you meet over the internet or from your daily encounters with people you know. You can do what we do, and with some lesser degree of danger, I hope. Free speech. It's an American Concept. According to many Canadians, it's a Canadian concept too. Even the English have thought it an English concept since around the time of the Magna Carta. The French, much as one might not think them likable, think of it as a French concept, at least since 1789. And many people around the world think it's just plain universal as a concept. But it's one people have to fight for if it's going to be a concept all at.

We're going for coffee and cookie tonight at the library. We could be arrested for talking to each other. We could be arrested for talking about free speech.

We're not exactly wild-eyed radicals here. We're more bookish and tending toward the past 40 demographic. We're dangerous. We speak out loud in public and people know about it. We aren't political or religiously motivated. We're just folks who believe in democracy and other American things like free speech. We're creating a revolution here. We'd like you to join us in it. Meet some friends for coffee at a library. Talk. Share ideas and books and internet tips. You'll scare the hell out of the Death Hippies if you do.

Tonight we'll talk about Mark Styne; about the the al-Dura hoax, about a 15 year old English boy arrested for referring to Scientology as a cult; about retirees threatened by the city government for speech violations; maybe about homeless people barred from city shelters for being suspected of blogging.

Mostly we'll sit and have coffee and talk and wait....
