The Epitome Proponant of Critical Race Theory

"[The First Nations Confederacy of Cultural Education Centres representative is a] wacko Indigenous House-Slave."
"[Israel], Jewish White Supremacists [the United States and the Commonwealth nations are apartheid colonies whose occupants must leave]: Come get your garbage, Europe!"
"[The CRTC should] cater to racialized voices in the face of the media oligarchy that is defrauding the public in Canada."
"Zios [are] directing their attack dogs [on me]."

"Mr. Minister [Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen]: You are taking us for fools. You are calling on CMAC [Community Advocacy Media Centre] to answer 'how they came to hire Laith Marouf'?"
"Are you not aware that he and his wife Gretchen King 'are' CMAC?"
"That they and CMAC share the same address? That it was you and Marouf who announced this program?"
Hillel Neuer, executive director, UN Watch
The Liberal government of Justin Trudeau has been quiet, very quiet on this file. The actual Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez -- under whose imprimatur the contract was signed to hire the Community Advocacy Media Centre and Palestinian-Syrian activist and racist-slanderer Laith Marouf, well known for his penchant for offhand racist slanders, to head an anti-racist program for Canadian media -- has said nothing, much less apologized for gross ineptitude.

It seems that information is being revealed from investigators that this man who starts his anti-race lectures by first making certain that his media listeners are quite aware of Israel's "Apartheid" status and that Palestinians are overdue their claims to the land that Israel sits on, before engaging with the terms of the contract he was hired to fulfill as the anti-racist expert the government and Minister Hussen touted him to be.

The Canadian-Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commission has developed a long trusting association with this same man as an adviser on race relations and equity. The $133,000 contract with Canadian Heritage pales before the $500,000 doled out to him by the CRTC for his professional services. Just as Heritage Canada couldn't bother Googling inconvenient racist statements made by this man, neither did the CRTC.

Ineptitude, or did they just not care? Marouf's blistering advocacy for BDS, his student activist days, blocking Jewish speakers from addressing university audiences, his daubings of racist, antisemitic slogans on university campuses, his snarling references to Jews as 'white-supremacists', his hateful comments about Jamaican-American Colin Powell, all mark him as a bigot of the first water.

But no one in this Liberal government of Justin Trudeau, committed to woke ideology cared to know, and knew no care in developing a working relationship with him, instead invoking with pride their trust in his professional qualities as a spokesman against racism. Even though in 2020 he accused the CRTC of enabling "an apartheid on the airwaves", they snuggled up to him.

This, the expert on the evils of racist dogma pervading our airwaves, who once spoke of the CBC president as a "pimp of racist, Genocidal, colonialist, Imperialist and Supremacist propaganda".
