Musings and bemusings on the Ottawa Protocol

Are you an anti-Semite? Am I? Is everyone?

Have you read the Ottawa Protocol released by the self-styled Ottawa Conference to Combat Anti-Semitism?

Have you seen how they define anti-Semitism? Can you believe it? Can you even imagine the chutzpah involved in equating criticism of a government with racial hatred?

Do you think the foundation of Canada involved racism and colonialism against first nations people? If so, does that make you an anti-white racist?

Do you think the foundation of Israel involved racism and colonialism against the indigenous Palestinians? If so, does that make you an anti-Semite?

Professor Michael Keefer discusses his latest book:

ANTISEMITISM REAL AND IMAGINED


In the introduction of his new book Antisemitism Real and Imagined: Responses to the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism Prof Michael Keefer exposes the political extremism of the CPCCA's prime movers, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney (Conservative) and former Justice Minister and Attorney General Irwin Cotler (Liberal), and their all-too-obvious agenda of using an imagined ‘new antisemitism' as a justification for stigmatizing and even criminalizing criticism of the state of Israel.


The final report of the CPCCA is expected to be released soon.
