Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a staunch supporter of Israeli policy, has described criticism of Israel as a form of ”new anti-Semitism“.
Dear Readers,
I posted this piece yesterday but today I came across an introduction by my friend Arthur from Radical Press. Arthur never minces words and in this case, he is more than on fire. I am putting up his righteously angered verbiage right here before you get to move on to the rest. TAKE IT AWAY ARTHUR!
Dear Radical Reader,
The world is still bewitched to a great degree by the mesmerizing effects of the vipers who control the mainstream media and, by default, the thoughts, ideas, impressions, images and political perspectives of the general public.
Those, such as the despicable, disgusting traitors and groveling sycophantic sell-outs to Jewish Israeli greed, power and racism pictured below, are exemplary models of the type of political "leader" that the Zionist behemoth surreptitiously fabricates and then sells to the stupefied electorate via their Big Brother media.
Irwin Cotler ~ snake in the grass
One of most vile of all of course is the two-faced, bigot, hypocrite and seditious Irwin Cotler former Liberal head honcho over the Supreme Court of Canada. He's the head snake, slithering about the halls of parliament and wending his way into every nook and cranny and committee like some latter day Chaim Weizmann laying out the groundwork for this latest assault upon Canada and our rights as free, democratic citizens.
As has been the case for the past century and longer behind every head of state you will find a Zionist Jew (or two) who secretly guides and controls the actions of these so-called free democracies on behalf of their taskmasters in Tel Aviv, London and Washington, D.C.
Kenny the Cro-Magnon with his little Jewish yarmulke firmly affixed
Precisely who is pulling Harper's chain is unknown to me at this time but I have absolutely no doubt that both he and that fat-faced fool of his, Kenny the Kromagnon, have sold their souls to the synagogue of Satan a long, long time ago.
By their fruits shall ye know them as the Christian good book tells us and in the case of these two unabashed buffoons the thought that they might somehow be actual Canadian nationalists with at least a modicum of sovereignty in their souls is beyond comprehension.
Like two rotten apples purposely placed in that basket of bungling bureaucracy known as Ottawa they are doing their damnedest to turn the whole carton of potentially pro-Israeli cretins into one rotten heap of corruption.
The CPCCA, also known as the Communist Party Committee to Crucify Anti-Zionists, is just one more Trojan Horse that the racist rats in Tel Aviv have trotted out of their stable and shipped off to every "democratic" nation throughout the west to continue their endless, fanatical pursuit of censorship in the name of unholy Zion.
As my own anti-Zionist Jewish mother-in-law (God bless her soul) use to say, "Enough already!"
Enough of this endless stinking shit the Jew-controlled media calls "news" and "public opinion" and "parliamentary committees" and "anti-Semitism." These wankers of pseudo-wisdom and "democracy" and "freedom" need to be exposed for what they really are: TRAITORS AND LIARS AND WAR CRIMINALS FOR THE RACIST, APARTHEID, SUPREMACIST, ZIONIST-JEW, FALSE STATE KNOWN AS ISRAEL.
Like all the other Zionist Jew crooks and criminals and frauds who are tumbling out of their darkened closets almost daily now these pitiful examples of the human species need to be exposed in as many venues and ways as possible.
One way would be to pass this post along to everyone you know.
Sincerely,
Arthur Topham

The CPCCA was founded in 2009 and was comprised of MPs from all parliamentary parties; the CPCCA is not an official parliamentary committee. It nonetheless draws upon the resources and authority of Parliament, while refusing to hold open debate in keeping with due process.
While the report claims to support free speech and open debate around the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, its recommendations aim to silence pro-Palestinian voices, especially on campuses. The CPCCA’s biased processes and dubious conclusions contradict its own argument for balanced debate, and make a mockery of the notion of disinterested parliamentary inquiry.
The CPCCA’s mandate was to define, analyze and address anti-Semitism. However, the coalition formed its core conclusions before beginning its inquiry. Its founding documents emphasized the so-called “new anti-Semitism,” associating it with the global movement for Palestinian human rights.
CPCCA materials published prior to the hearings cited campuses as places of special interest, but provided no substantive evidence. Later, the inquiry’s findings confirmed their biases through distorted claims that pro-Palestinian events create a campus environment ripe for anti-Semitism. Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), an annual program of public talks, films and workshops supporting the Palestinian Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, is singled out; it is depicted as an aggressive campaign that “hijack[s] any open and honest dialogue regarding the Middle East.”The report conveniently overlooks Israeli Apartheid Week’s value as a site of global education on the plight of Palestinians living on, and in exile from, land that is illegally occupied by Israel.
The participation of Jewish students and professors in IAW is systematically ignored. So is the fact that IAW organizers focus their analysis on a critique of the Israeli state, not Jewish people. That IAW explicitly condemns anti-Semitism and all racism is similarly neglected.
Also dismissed are the testimonials of campus administrators who refuted the CPCCA’s preconceived notions.
The 25 university presidents or their representatives who spoke to the panel are no friends of pro-Palestinian organizers, having previously banned IAW posters, obstructed room bookings and otherwise tried to silence criticism of Israel on their campuses. Their testimony consistently denied that the “new anti-Semitism” threatens their students. Instead, they suggested debate of difficult ideas should be encouraged at universities, not censored.
Most who seriously challenged the CPCCA were simply excluded from the so-called “public” hearings.
Faculty for Palestine ~ a network of 450 faculty members from Canadian universities and colleges ~ for example, was not invited to discuss their written submission despite the CPCCA’s assertion that the “new anti-Semitism” is especially concentrated on campuses.

As explained by Co-chair Mario Silva: “I personally feel I didn’t want to give a platform to individuals who had no time for us. Why should we have time for them?”
It is no wonder that Bloc Québécois MPs withdrew from the CPCCA in 2010, citing the refusal of the steering committee to hear groups with opposing viewpoints, including from organizations such as the Canadian Arab Federation.

Like almost all pro-Zionist organizations, the CPCCA is fluent in doublespeak. They urge critics to commit to serious and rigorous debate, but to avoid engaging in debate. It relies on hearsay, anecdotes and cherry-picked testimony while ignoring a wealth of research countering its claims. The report asserts that IAW should not be banned, but then asks university presidents to condemn IAW and calls on government to legislate this new criminalizing definition of anti-Semitism.
Intelligent Canadians, both Jew and gentile, should be deeply concerned by the CPCCA’s analysis and recommendations ~ it should be treated with extreme skepticism.
The intentioned conflation of criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism is inaccurate and dangerous.
Indeed, the Israeli state just announced unprecedented legislation banning boycotts. If Canada accepts the CPCCA’s recommendations, we may soon travel this same politically repressive road.

Now, this is the part where I, as a Canadian with conscience and compassion, apologize to the world and say that what you are about to read DOES NOT speak for all Canadians any more than the actions of Israel speak for all Israelis. This development is appalling but not surprising since Stephen Harper, an uber fundamentalist Christian is very very cozy with the Chabad Lubavitch and is known internationally for his support of every awful act carried out by the criminal regime of Israel.
There was his infamous and heartless comment on the Israeli provoked massacre of Lebanon in 2009:
"Israel's response under the circumstances has been measured."
With those words, Harper debased Canada, a wonderfully diverse and tolerant country where Jews, Arabs and people of every other imaginable creed and colour live peacefully side-by-side. I have lived in huge cities and small towns across the country, and this is truly the case. Our big cities are complete melting pots and other than for a very few trouble makers, just fine.
The only terrorism I witnessed were the demonstrations and bombing of Ernst Zundel who lived down the street from me. Every weekend the JDL held demonstrations in front of his home blocking traffic for hours on a very busy road.

How many millions of Canadian dollars were wasted on this campaign. Since when did supporting Israel equate to standing up for Canada? Sorry but this does not compute!

Nearly two years after the first hearings were held in Ottawa, the Canadian Parliamentary Committee to Combat Anti-Semitism (CPCCA) released a detailed report on July 7 that found that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Canada, especially on university campuses.
While the CPCCA’s final report does contain some cases of real anti-Semitism, the committee has provided little evidence that anti-Semitism has actually increased in Canada in recent years. Instead, it has focused a disproportionate amount of effort and resources on what it calls a so-called “new anti-Semitism”: criticism of Israel.
ED: If there is “yellow journalism” there is also “yellow documentation”. By this I mean that only testimonials included are those that advance the agenda of the group.
Indeed, the real purpose of the CPCCA committee seems to be to stifle critiques of Israeli policy and disrupt pro-Palestinian solidarity organizing in Canada, including, most notably, Israeli Apartheid Week events.
Many of the CPCCA’s findings, therefore, must be rejected as both an attack on freedom of speech and freedom of protest, and as recklessly undermining the fight against real instances of anti-Semitism.
Stephen with some of his Chabad puppet masters.
THE CPCCA AND ITS FINDINGS
THE CPCCA AND ITS FINDINGS
The Canadian Parliamentary Committee to Combat Anti-Semitism (CPCCA) was born out of a conference held in London in February 2009 by the Inter-Parliamentary Committee for Combating Anti-Semitism. Formed in March 2009 and not directly linked to the Canadian government, or to any NGO or advocacy group, the CPCCA included 22 Canadian Parliament members from across party lines. Former Liberal MP Mario Silva chaired the Inquiry Panel and Conservative MP Scott Reid led the Steering Committee.
Between November 2009 and January 2010, the CPCCA held ten separate hearings during which time representatives of various non-governmental organizations, religious institutions, police departments and Canadian and Israeli universities presented papers meant to assess the level of anti-Semitism in Canada. While groups critical of Israel were denied the chance to address the committee, major Zionist organizations like B’nai Brith Canada, Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, and the Canadian Jewish Congress were welcomed.
Ed: Wiesenthal is internationally known to all but the most ardent Zionists to be a fabricator of facts and his testimony in any decent circumstances would, if not outright denied, at least held up to intense scrutiny. As for the JDL, this organization that kept Sir George Galloway and others from speaking in Canada, this is a group of acknowledged terrorists although that part of their platform is ignored today in the Zionist media.
This extremist hate group claims to have 6,000 members. They are a racist, terrorist, extremist, militant, Zionist hate group. JDL member numbers are growing in the North America every day.
JDL THUG
THESE ARE AMONG THOSE HARPER LISTENS TO!
The only thing to be said in their favour is that the JDL are honest in admitting their hatred, unlike the Chabad Lubavitch who cloak themselves in disguise as humanitarian “holy rabbis”, but are the Hasidic fanatics that comprise the like of the Israeli settlers and, behind the scenes, push for the total destruction of all Gentiles. THEY have Harper in their thrall.
“Much of today’s anti-Semitism manifests in anti-Israel agitation around boycotts, divestment and sanctions,” said Avi Benlolo, President and CEO of the Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, during a hearing in November 2009. “It deploys an unfair double standard against the Jewish state, singling out of Israel alone for one-sided, harsh criticism and calls for punitive actions.”
Throughout the consultation process, the CPCCA regularly focused on Canadian university campuses, which were routinely described as hotbeds of anti-Semitism, where Jewish students or students with pro-Israel leanings are often intimidated and threatened.
This accusation was made repeatedly, and included in the CPCCA’s final report, despite the fact that Dr. Fred Lowy, President Emeritus of Concordia University in Montreal, stated in his address to the CPCCA that,
“By and large, Canadian campuses are safe and are not hotbeds of anti-Semitism of any kind”.
In its final report, the CPCCA made about two dozen recommendations on how best to fight anti-Semitism in Canada. While the report states that “criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is wrong”, it also found that “singling Israel out for selective condemnation and opprobrium … is discriminatory and hateful” and many of its recommendations deal with combating this “new anti-Semitism”.Left: The international boycott of Judea against Germany is a major factor in touching off WW2. Jews using their substantial clout rallied all gentile nations into joining in. Germany was financially ruined as a result. Now, who is complaining about international BDS against their genocidal actions towards an unarmed state? Forever they whine "anti semitism" and racial prejudice!
A major recommendation issued by the CPCCA was that the Canadian government should promote the working definition of anti-Semitism used by The European Union Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC).
This definition categorizes “applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation” as anti-Semitic.
In other words, the CPCCA is supporting a definition whereby individuals who focus their attention on Israeli human rights violations, yet don’t level an equal amount of condemnation on other states for their human rights violations, can be labeled as anti-Semitic.
This is obviously problematic since Palestine solidarity activists ~ like any other people ~ have commitments that make it impossible to engage with every issue they are otherwise interested in. They shouldn’t be labeled as anti-Semitic due to their inability to participate in every single human rights struggle happening around the world.
Another dangerous recommendation made by the CPCCA was that Canadian university administrators should condemn “discourse, events and speakers which are untrue, harmful, or not in the interest of academic discourse, including Israeli Apartheid Week”.
Even the use of the word “apartheid” in relation to Israel is anti-Semitic, the CPCCA found, since it amounts to the “denial of the Jewish people their right to self- determination … by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor”.
This clearly violates freedom of speech and an open exchange of ideas at Canadian universities, and also unfairly and inaccurate labels Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) as anti-Semitic. In reality, IAW has since 2005 brought together respected activists, academics, journalists and cultural figures from around the world, including Judith Butler, Ronnie Kasrils, Noam Chomsky and Ali Abunimah, among others, to openly discuss ideas related to Israel/Palestine.
IAW provides an educational space for understanding Israel’s apartheid policies ~ as evidenced, for example, through the separate legal systems used by Israelis and Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank or the discriminatory land ownership laws operating inside Israel ~ and supports the growing campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS), which aims to non-violently pressure Israel to respect international law.
It is far from the “uniformly well-organized, aggressive [campaign] designed to make the Jewish state and its supporters pariahs” the CPCCA report makes it out to be.
The CPCCA also recommended that the Canadian Committee of Foreign Affairs undertake a study on the United Nations Human Rights Council, “particularly regarding its over-emphasis of alleged human rights abuses by Israel, while ignoring flagrant human rights abuses of other member states”.
This clearly demonstrates how the committee has confounded anti-Semitism with criticism of Israel, and is prepared to levy dubious suspicions against UN bodies and tarnish Canada’s international standing in the process.
ED: Has Israel ever complied with any of the regulations passed down by the UN? Yet they are the first to run to the UN with their own complaints imaginary or otherwise!
In a statement released on July 8, Thomas Woodley, President of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME), said that the CPCCA’s recommendations,
“if implemented, will inhibit public discussion of Israel’s conduct”.
“CJPME believes that conclusions and recommendations generated by a process in which the same body ~ the CPCCA ~ is prosecutor, jury, and judge, are not credible. Although a few of the witnesses recounted incidents that were indeed indicative of genuine anti-Semitism, many were complaining about merely being exposed to criticism of the Israel’s conduct,” the CJPME press release stated.
ED: Thinking Canadian Jews are NOT in favour of the goals of the CPCCA as outlined below.
Independent Jewish Voices (IJV) Canada also criticized the committee, stating that:
“the CPCCA’s goal is to criminalize criticism of Israel and Zionism, not to hold impartial hearings. Therefore, we oppose the CPCCA as an ideologically biased organization with an agenda that will harm free speech and human rights activity in Canada. We oppose the CPCCA’s Orwellian distortion of anti-Semitism. It is a danger to both Canadian liberties and to the genuine and necessary fight against anti-Semitism.”
REFLECTION OF OFFICIAL CANADIAN POLICY
While labeling critics of Israeli policy as anti-Semitic is nothing new, the level at which this accusation is now being used in Canadian discourse must be seen as a reflection of the Canadian government’s official and current policy on the Middle East.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in 2010 at the Ottawa Conference on Combating Anti-Semitism, which was supported by the CPCCA:
“When Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand. Demonization, double standards, de-legitimization, the three D’s, it is the responsibility of us all to stand up to them,”
“Harnessing disparate anti-American, anti-Semitic and anti-Western ideologies, it targets the Jewish people by targeting the Jewish homeland, Israel, as the source of injustice and conflict in the world and uses, perversely, the language of human rights to do so. We must be relentless in exposing this new anti-Semitism for what it is.”
Under Harper, Canada has routinely defended Israeli intransigence and disregard for international law and the human rights of the Palestinian people under its control. In return, trade cooperation and military and security technologies ties have been strengthened between the two states.
In May of this year, it was reported that Harper was adamantly opposed to making any reference to the 1967 borders in a G8 summit statement calling for renewed Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Far-right Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman thanked Harper for his position, and stated,
“Canada is a true friend of Israel”.
I cannot begin to say how badly I took that statement. It is as if Satan kissed us and praised us for accepting his whole arsenal of evil-doing. Lieberman! A creature who has proposed simply nuking Gaza off the map! To me, this was as low as Canada could sink, although I do believe Harper has much lower plans for us. He is, after all, owned by the Rothschilds and a morally corrupt and bankrupt individual who is following the orders of his dark masters.
In 2010, Canada announced it would discontinue its financial contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the organization that provides support and resources to approximately 4.7m registered Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the occupied Palestinian territories, and funnel the money into greater policing and security institutions run by the un-elected and corrupt Palestinian Authority leadership instead.
In January 2009, as the Israeli army continued its disproportionate attack on the besieged civilian population in Gaza that left 1,400 Palestinians dead in the span of three weeks, Canada was the only country out of 47 that voted against a motion at the United Nations Human Rights Council condemning the Israeli violence.
The very vindictive Canadian Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney, another Chabad puppet, who led the formation of the Canadian Parliamentary Committee to Combat Anti-Semitism (CPCCA) and is an ex-officio member, has also repeatedly alleged that the Canadian Arab Federation promotes anti-Semitism and hatred. While Kenney never backed up these claims, the Canadian Arab Federation’s contracts with the government ~ which helped finance language programs for Toronto-area immigrants (the majority of whom are of Chinese origin) ~ were not renewed in 2009.
UNDERMINING THE FIGHT AGAINST REAL ANTI-SEMITISM
Anti-Semitism, like all other forms of racism, is appalling and must be strongly and unequivocally condemned.
ED: We must not forget that ARABS are the true Semites here. The Ashkenazi are NOT of Arabic stock but originate from Eastern Europe. All one needs to do is look at their hair and fair colouring to see the truth of this, let alone study their true history, not the one they peddle to the world!
But by defining legitimate criticism of Israeli policy and pro-Palestinian activism in Canada as anti-Semitic, the CPCCA is not only threatening free speech and freedom of protest, but it is undermining the fight against real cases of anti-Semitism and weakening the seriousness with which such cases should be dealt. This matter is something that Canadians, and people everywhere, should be adamantly against.
