After years of treating the Jewish Defence League as if they were a rogueish but loveable younger brother, Canadian Jewish Congress supremo Bernie Farber has finally said something about the JDL that's stronger than "they're not my cup of tea" or that he's "disappointed" by them. Farber's epiphany, in the form of an opinion piece in the Toronto Sun, is a response to the JDL's rally last week in support of Britain's extremist English Defence League.
