Justin Trudeau's Canada
"He uses his professorship as a way to influence by promoting hate speech and disinformation about Israel. He calls Israel an 'apartheid state committing genocide'.""I strongly urge you to stop this professor before his words turn into a dreadful act that is completely in your hands to stop today."Unnamed complainant fearful of personal repercussions"Hatred is predicated on destruction. Hatred against identifiable groups therefore thrives on insensitivity, bigotry and destruction of both the target group and the values of our society.""Hatred in this sense is the most extreme emotion that belies reason, an emotion that if exercised against members of an identifiable group, implies that those individuals are to be despised, scorned, denied respect and subject to ill-treatment on the basis of a group affiliation."Canada's Chief Justice Brian Dickson's ruling in R v Keegstra, 1990
Canadians
have seen no end of Palestinian-Canadian and 'pro-Palestinian'
supporters coming out in full force since October 7, both celebrating
the terrorist group Hamas's butchery of Israelis, rapine and abductions
of children and the elderly, and calling for the world community to stop
Israel's military response in Gaza. It is well enough known that it was
not only Hamas operatives that raided Israeli border towns and villages
wreaking sadistic savagery on a surprised and unprepared citizenry, but
that Palestinian civilians, some of whom had been engaged as temporary
farm workers who also took part in the carnage.
For
months the demonstrations have continued, blocking streets, appearing
before foreign embassies, universities, government offices, government
representative regional offices, and anywhere else the crowds shouting
'gas the Jews' and 'intefada' among other violent threats feel they are
entitled to intrude upon. School board meetings have not been immune to
these mobs, and nor have shopping malls and Christmas markets. Yet no
arm of government has made a move to stop these actions. And when, in
police presence, masked men threaten people, there has been no response.
Since
the most authoritative response must always emanate from the federal
government itself, giving clearance to other levels of government and
ultimately police, the complete lack of response from the Liberal
government of prime minister Justin Trudeau has set the stage for the
protests and their violent messaging to continue. Antisemitism has
become a viral menace within Canadian society. Unchecked it will lead to
violence in excess of the firebombing of a synagogue and Jewish
community centre and parochial school.
There
are some instances where those with the moral courage to deny the
slanders thrown about that threaten Jews, are left to their own devices
when they are penalized. As in the instance of a lecturer in marketing
at University of Guelph-Humber. An investigation was launched for a
social media post by Paul Finlayson who responded to a Palestinian
supporter he labelled a "pro-Nazi zealot. You stand with Palestine means you stand with Hitler. You don't want peace, you want dead Jews". He finds himself suspended from his position with the university.
And
then there is the individual who wrote to the administration of
Sheridan College in Brampton, Ontario to report online posts produced by
Dr. Wael Ramadan, professor of project management at the Pilon School
of Business at Sheridan College. The complainant wrote that Ramadan
posted "hateful rhetoric about Israel",
recognized as antisemitic, making the individual feel 'unsafe'. At
Canadian universities and colleges the new rule is anything that makes
anyone associated with academia feel 'unsafe' cannot be countenanced. An
exception is made for Jews feeling 'unsafe'.
Professor
Ramadan is an ardent supporter of the Palestinian 'cause', a harsh
critic of Israel, which he names an "apartheid state" that commits
genocide, urging a boycott of companies that conduct business with
Israel. He helped to publicize a worldwide strike in support of Gaza,
following the October 7 atrocities committed by Hamas in Israel. "The
dehumanization of Palestinians using fake news and atrocity propaganda
is weaponized by apartheid Israel and the U.S. government to incite
emotion against Palestinians", he writes.
So,
evidently the carnage wrought by Hamas on Israel during the October 7
atrocities are a mere figment of an evil mind's imagination, attributing
such inhumane acts to Palestinians. These Palestinian supporters claim
there is no evidence, that these are events entirely contrived or
carried out by Israel in an effort to paint Palestinians as monsters
when clearly they are freedom fighters. That the 'freedom fighters' took
pride in their atrocities to the extent that they recorded them and
posted the videos on social media platforms is evidently negligibly
immaterial.
