Mark Carney...Maliciously Antisemitic ... Or Just Plain Stupid

"The Dutch betrayal mirrors a broader European sickness. Mass immigration from Muslim countries has imported a virulent strain of antisemitism that now crosses all political boundaries."

"Politicians realize only the electoral ramifications: Jewish populations are dwindling and Muslim populations are exploding."

"Post-Holocaust guilt, once a brake on Jew-hatred, has been inverted: many of the descendants of the perpetrators and bystanders now project their unresolved shame onto the surviving Jews and their state."

"The "oppressed" Palestinian has replaced the oppressed Jew as the object of European moral narcissism."

"The Europeans, who never forgave the Jews for Auschwitz, are finally free of guilt."

Wim Kortenoeven, Gatestone Institute 

 

"Our government is building a country in which Jewish Canadians can be visibly, fully, and joyfully Jewish in public life."

"Canada’s fundamental insight is that unity does not require uniformity. We believe our differences are strengths to be nurtured, not risks to be managed. We believe that faith, language, heritage, and tradition are not concessions to citizenship – they are expressions of it."

"Our government will always protect the inalienable right of the Jewish people to live openly in freedom, safety, and dignity. Protection is fundamental, but not sufficient. The Jewish community must be able to flourish in every aspect of Canadian society."

Prime Minister Mark Carney

"I am against the occupation of civilians. I believe in the Palestinian right of self-determination."

"I believe in a two-state solution."

"[Describing the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade as a terrorist group identifies CanWest news group as [failing its responsibility toward all Canadians, not just Arabs and Muslims."

 The federal Liberal party governing Canada has done nothing to diminish the flood of viral antisemitism that has swept Canada for the past three years in the wake of the devastating Palestinian terrorist incursion into southern Israel on 7 October 2023 led by Hamas which left 1,200 mostly civilian Israelis - children, elderly, women and men along with foreign farm workers dead, women mass-raped, mutilated and murdered, children, the ill and the old, women and men and a handful of IDF personnel taken hostage into Gaza for use in prisoner exchanges. On that fateful day of mass brutality the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade was among the terrorist groups -- Hamas, the PLFP and others who send their operatives in the thousands into Israel.

Now a defender of Hamas and the Al Aqsa Brigade, along with Hezbollah, has been tasked by Canada's prime minister to sit on a federal committee to address the surging anti-Jewish hatred in Canada. On the Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion will sit Mark Miller, the former immigration minister under whose watch Canada's population swelled in one year by a million through incautious immigration, refugee intake and illegal migration, as well as the issuance of student visas among whose numbers have been radicalized Islamists bringing their cultural fundamentalism along with traditional Jew-hate as baggage. 

 

Stunningly the seven-person committee has one Jewish representative appointed, a former Liberal-appointed Senator, Marc Gold. It is the inclusion, however, of Omar Alghabra and Avnish Nanda, an Edmonton lawyer, that is most astonishingly puzzling for the purpose of the committee. And if this committee's formation was meant to be an assurance to Canadian Jews that their government is finally prepared to address the viral issue of growing antisemitism, it only goes to prove that Wim Kortenoeven's contentions in writing of the Netherlands and the greater European capture by fundamentalist Islamists has application in Canada as well.

Alghabra was formerly president of the Canadian Arab Federation which lobbied to have groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas removed from the official terror entries that Canada lists. "I remember Mr. Alghabra lobbying me, before he was in politics, to keep Hezbollah legal. So I'm not sure that he's the right guy to combat antisemitism", remarked Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in a massive understatement. Al Aqsa's entry on Canada's terror list calls it an Iran-backed militia founded during the Second Intifada; essentially Fatah's military arm of which Mahmoud Abbas as leader of Fatah, rules.

 

When Yasser Arafat died in 2004, Alghabra stated that "he has played a tremendous role in highlighting the Palestinian struggle for independence and making it visible in the international arena". And Arafat did it in the most violent ways imaginable, through plane and ship highjackings, the murder of Israelis, the Munich massacre, and incitement of Palestinians to become 'martyrs', a role that current PA leader Mahmoud Abbas wields unyieldingly, including that special 'pay for slay' program sacred to Fatah of gifting the murderers of Jews with handsome pensions as rewards for their 'resistance' to the 'occupation', an occupation occasioned by the never-ending violence meted out by Palestinians to Jews living on Judaic ancestral land.  

 

As for Edmonton lawyer Avnish Nanda who defended an anti-Israel encampment established in 2024 on the University of Alberta campus through a Charter challenge, his appointment represents a conundrum as puzzling as that of Alghabra for its elusive rationale. The University of Alberta had ordered Edmonton Police to evict the encampment the organizers called the People's University for Palestine, and two years later a Charter challenge led by two former students and a professor was filed on their behalf by Mr. Nanda. 

 

Filling out the committee's membership is former speedskater Catriona le May Doan, former chief equity officer for the City of Vancouver, Aftab Erfan, Metis right advocate Gary LaPlante and lastly Martine Roy, LFGTQ activist who advocates for 'diversity, inclusion and equity'. This crew of misplaced choices is now set to sit in judgement of a massive rise in antisemitism brought to Canada courtesy of Islamist fundamentalism. One might speculate that their eventual conclusion may be that Jewish Canadians have brought this negativity upon themselves by being Zionists, a crime against humanity. 

 

Two recent alumni and a professor from the University of Alberta have filed a Charter challenge against the university for its removal of the People's University for Palestine encampment in May 2024. The statement of claim asserts that the university violated multiple aspects of the Charter by directing Edmonton Police Service to forcibly remove protesters at the encampment.

"Part of this committee is to talk in a way that is open and frank and to tackle issues with a group of people that have spent a good deal of their career being subject to various forms of hate or have been incredible advocates in the field." 

"[He would not parse] through the biographies of individual members [when asked about Nanda]."

"The reality is, without defending any particular point of view, that lawyers are entitled and obligated to do their jobs."

"Coming together in a way that isn't polarizing, I think, is the first step."
