Socred, you're really embarassing yourself and - by extension - this site in its entirety with your anti-Semitic nonsense. And, yes, it IS anti-Semitic. Going around, finger pointing and accusing people of being in Jewish (as if it's something they should have to deny) is anti-Semitic. Pointing out that someone has Jewish background and therefore simply MUST support certain policies, ideologies, etc. is also anti-Semitic as well as being stupid. Yes, "Coren" is a Jewish name. Guess what? So is "Chomsky" and "Finkelstein" and "Blumenthal". Do their Jewish backgrounds tell you what they think too? Or is someone's perceieved religion only used as an attack against them when they disagree with you?

Israel Stands Alone - by Michael Coren
http://www.torontosun.com/comment/columnists/michael_coren/2011/03/11/17...
"I will defend all of my beliefs, but one of the ideas I am most proud of is Zionism. No apologies, no hiding, no doubts. Zionism is arguably the most successful examples of the restoration of an indigenous people to their rightful homeland in human history. It is a liberation struggle, a story of the creation of a light on the hill, that light being the Jewish state in the Middle East...
[on IAW] It's a lie, a blood libel, a politically motivated and blatantly dishonest campaign to use Soviet style propaganda to codemn Jews...a death-dark celebration of doublespeak and anti-intellectual posing.."
LOL!
Apologies if the original post was offensive. It wasn't intended to be.

Socred, please abstain from speculating about a person's character, intentions or integrity based on their (perceived) ethnicity, religion or race. And don't ever call someone a "damped Jew" again. This is your final warning.
I wasn't speculating on Mr. Coren's character or integrity based upon his race. I was merely pointing out the fact that his name is actually Jewish because it's a derivation of the name "Cohen".
I apologize for using the above term, but it was meant to be a statement of fact, not a derogatory term.
What term would you prefer I use?
Sun, 2011-07-10 20:32
#57
What does it mean to call somebody "damped", anyway? are Coren't socks wet or something?
It's a reference to Christian baptism - a suggestion that the person is trying to pass as a Christian, or at least a non-Jew. The term is clearly not appropriate in Coren's case, quite apart from any question of its offensiveness.

Michael "Coren" is a damped Jew.
Coren derives from the Jewish name Cohen.
Is there any wonder why he's pro-Zionist?
Like I said, don't draw conclusions based on a person's presumed ethnicity.
I apologize for using the above term, but it was meant to be a statement of fact, not a derogatory term. The term is used in books published by the Judaic publishing company, and distributed by Amazon.comI don't know what your link is supposed to prove, but your term is neither a statement of fact nor non-derogatory. It is a hateful term with a hateful history. Use it on Stormfront, not here.
You don't need to refer to someone's race or religion at all in such a context. "Zionist" does just fine.
Now that this is settled, back to the discussion please.
I'm sure Stormfront uses the term "Zionist", or "is" or "night" or "day" or..........
Does that mean that these terms are "racist"?
The term refers to people of Jewish descent who converted to Christianity.
If race or religion were not pertinent to Zionism, then why does Israel have a "Law of Return"?
In fact, what does Zionism mean if it has nothing to do with race or religion?

Hey Socred, could you do yourself a favour, do rabble.ca a favour, and for the clarification to the rest of the world and go to Coren's blog and actually point out that you are a proponent of the Social Credit movement, of Douglas, and so forth? That might help your cause and help rabble.ca point out what an awful distorter of reality that Coren continues to be in his realm and in Canada generally.
It is just one of a whole host of facts that Coren has ignored for his own agenda, just on this particular point alone.

Well this is what I attempted to put up on Coren's blog and it said it would wait for a moderator's approval so it was not a technical issue - but it never appeared. So Coren cannot really accept any rebuttal except for something so crude that it effectively becomes one of his straw men. Thus he is like Limbaugh's callers who call in to say 'ditto.'
Actually rabble.ca was quite clear in condemning the phrase used. I would encourage readers to go to rabble.ca and see that for themselves. They would find a whole host of people who condemn anti-Semitism without hesitation while at the same time recognizing the Palestinian right to self-determination. And many of us do not want to close conservative media sources, we are just not comfortable with the CRTC being pressured to change the rules to allow media to wilfully lie about stuff. Again, people ought to go to rabble.ca to see that for themselves.

Well like I said it was never posted. What I did notice was how many other blogs re-posted his article and more or less said the tantamount to "yeah" without mentioning if they bothered to check it out. Just a reflexsive agreement without a pause to see anything for themselves. My point was that his blog would not allow me to point out something really obvious: that the comment was derided, met with the utmost negativity, etc. I suspected the comment would not get in and this proved me correct. Its not as if what I said was that provacative. Sorry if that alarms or upsets you, M. Spector, but I would point out that we already have a few Zionists posting here and they do not get rebuked that much besides the odd rebuttal from either you, myself, or Catchfire. I see no reason why others cannot join in the fight against any of the Zionist/pro-Israeli posters. There are just too many yet unasserted indictments against Israel that have yet to be made here.

Same thing happened with my comments. Coren disingenuously holds himself up as a defender of free speech, while accusing rabble [sic] of trying to silence people who they disagree with. Yet it's babble that allows people to post directly, while Coren's blog is pre-moderated, allowing him (or somebody) to pick and choose only those comments that support his narrative. That's why the only critical comment that got through was some ass who suggested he shouldn't have been allowed into Canada.

And wow those other Rightist blogs are so nauseating that it is beyond the pale, beyond belief. Some are blending their beliefs into total incoherence. A total outright anti-Semite like Paul Fromm is featuring links to Ezra Levant which too much like the English Defense League lining up with the Jewish Defense League.
I have yet to find a Right-wing website that allows posting in the same manner as rabble/babble. My time on the Internet is get more limited as time progresses so I cannot spend too much time searching for that. I would be curious if there are any pro-Zionist Rightist website that do allow that sort of thing.

Before this thread got derailed I referred to the anti-boycott legislation that the Knesset was about to pass (see [url=http://rabble.ca/babble/international-news-and-politics/ongoing-zionist-... above).
Well, the bill was [url=http://mondoweiss.net/2011/07/knesset-passes-anti-boycott-bill-even-as-l... on July 11.
The legislation was widely decried as undemocratic and a strike against free speech. Some went as far as to say that the new law delegitimizes Israel.Criticism was not limited to the left-wing alone. The increasingly right-leaning [i]Jerusalem Post[/i] penned an editorial against the legislation. It even sparked a bit of controversy inside of Likud, with a couple of party members likening the legislation to "third world laws."
But the criticism from both the left and right is problematic—for the most part, [b]it neglects the serious problems that were plaguing "Israeli democracy" long before the anti-boycott law was approved[/b].
An editorial penned by the New York City-based [i]Jewish Daily Forward[/i] offers an example. After criticizing the recent legislation, the author(s) go on to add, "It may be that when the Israeli Supreme Court hears the inevitable legal challenge to the anti-boycott law, it will rule it unconstitutional and prove, again, that a democratic system of checks and balances exist in the Israel polity."
In reality, the "system of checks and balances" has been broken for some time, with the state consistently ignoring Supreme Court rulings that are not to its liking.

... but since this was not an official government project and was originally presented as being privately funded — and came with a promise to reveal funding sources when the final report was issued — you could argue that they had a right to run the project the way they chose. After all, it says right on the group's About Us page:The CPCCA is not affiliated with the Government of Canada...Which would be fair enough except for that business of calling itself a "Parliamentary" coalition. And what was that but an attempt to invoke the moral authority invested in the group's members by virtue of their election to represent us? And should I mention that they used government facilities for their meetings and hearings? They certainly seem to have gone out of their way to use their status as MPs to lend credibility to a project that had no formal sanction by parliament — and thus no accountability to it.
And now we learn, courtesy of John Geddes at Maclean's, that a big chunk of their operating capital came from the government with which they supposedly had no affiliation. Bear in mind that Jason Kenney is an ex officio member of the coalition and part of its steering committee while you ponder the fact that it received $451,280 in funds from Kenney's Department of Citizen and Immigration. I'd be curious to know how that's justified on the books since this had little to do with either citizenship or immigration....
Pretty sweet deal, I'd say. Use the trappings of elected office to give your own project prestige and the taxpayer's money to supply the bulk of the funding, but remain in a position to be able to blow off those who don't agree with you and guarantee anonymity to the donors of an additional $127,078 — yes, the promise to reveal funding sources was dropped somewhere along the way.
All the advantages of being affiliated with government and none of the accountability.

Well a usually pro-Conservative Maclean's makes a revelation that is somewhat damaging but it is made during late July as opposed to early June or early September when a lot more people might be paying attention.
Once again, the mainstream media bleeds damaging information at a low ebb of news consumption.

"A number of new initiatives to curtail freedom of speech by conflating opposition to Israeli crimes with anti-Semitism are underway in the United States and Canada..
...In other words, since Israel bills itself as a Jewish state, of which all Jews everywhere are automatic citizens, Jewish students can file complaints of anti-Semitism and discrimination based upon their perceived ethnicity and citizenship or residing in a country that has a 'dominant' religion."
Yet the JDL-EDL Zio-Nazi alliance, a blatantly terrorist formation, can spew their poison freely...

So how do we fight back?
Do we repeatedly (aka stay on message) point out the EDL/JDL connection?
Do we repeatedly point to the various anti-semites who populate the Christian Zionist movement?
Do we repeatedly point out that Zionism never actually fought for the victims of the Holocaust?

Probably lots of things including all of the above - the JDL demo against Muslim students of the TDSB only had a couple of counter-protesters - surely a fucking disgrace in a city as large as TO. Geert Wilders appearance here with the JDL as official security wasn't a whole lot better. As well change the Islamophobic effects of the mainstream politics -protest western wars against Muslim lands or restrain your NDP 'official opposition' from publicly supporting Israel, of which the JDL is a creature, when they align with Israeli attempts to destroy humanitarian initiatives such as BDS or the Gaza boat to interfere with the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. As always most Canadians haven't the foggiest notion that the JDL even exists here and if they do, well cue 'Exodus'...These people don't help things much either.
"this is a lesson to all of us who believe in human dignity that we should rock the boat when we see injustice, when we see xenophobia, when we see racism. I love the moxy and the scrappiness of the Wiesenthal Center being willing to do that..." Jason Kenney

I would have thought that Kenney's outrageous brownnosing to the Zios might conflict with his hero worship of a Jew murderering Nazi, but then there's the JDL-EDL Zio-Nazi alliance, so I guess my thinking is behind the times and that was then and this is now.

Palestine House has become the latest target of Jason Kenney's ongoing attacks on free speech rights and Palestine solidarity in Canada.Last week, Palestine House was informed by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, including its minister, Jason Kenney, that all funding for Palestine House's immigration settlement program had been cut.
Before Kenney's announcement, department officials had praised Palestine House, a Palestinian cultural and educational organization based in Mississauga, for its highly successful settlement program.

Hitman Jason Kenney Strikes Again
http://www.thestar.com/opinion/article/1132117--hitman-jason-kenney-again
That the Canadian government is proclaimed 'Israel's best friend' and that Israel's Avi Lieberman can come here to state that all parties are in complete agreement with the Zionist entity's malevolent racist, apartheid policies, should be a matter of great concern to all Canadians. George Galloway is hardly overstating the fact when he refers to this country as little more than 'an embassy for Benjamin Netanyahu'. The mean-spirited targeting of Palestine House and our Arab community is merely the latest sorry chapter of an ongoing Islamaphobic war at home and abroad. The willful indifference to this by most of the citizenry must be replaced by an energetic active intervention to make it stop.

From the NDP web site:
[url=http://www.ndp.ca/press/statement-from-official-opposition-critics-for-f... Palestine House hurts new Canadians[/url]
“New Democrats are disappointed by the decision of the Conservative government to arbitrarily terminate funding for settlement services at Palestine House. Organizations like Palestine House provide essential services to help newcomers adjust to life in Canada.“Palestine House settlement services have been funded continuously by Citizenship and Immigration Canada for over eighteen years. They have helped thousands of New Canadians in the Mississauga community with programs to help with language training and skills development. Importantly, these clients come from all corners of the world, from all faiths and backgrounds.
“Given the high quality and success of its programming, it’s clear the Minister cancelled this funding for political reasons, all of which have turned out to be spurious. And it’s the communities that rely on these services that are hurt most by this kind of interference. The Minister must stop playing politics and reverse his decision.
“This is the just the latest in a long line of politically-motivated funding cuts to public service organizations. From Palestine House to ecumenical KAIROS, this government’s unbalanced approach to the Middle East is hurting Canada’s reputation and isolating us on the world stage.”

Next weekend a [url=http://onestateconference.org/program.html]student-organized conference[/url] at Harvard University will explore the pros and cons of a one-state solution in Israel/Palestine.
The Zionists are having a [url=http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2012/2/28/hks-conference-israel-petiti... over it and trying to have the university shut it down.
Organizers have responded with an [url=http://mondoweiss.net/2012/02/open-letter-to-harvard-president-charges-t... Letter[/url] to the presidents of Harvard and the Harvard Kennedy School, who have both gone to extreme lengths to disassociate the university from the conference and to express their disapproval of what they [b]assume[/b] will be said by the speakers. An excerpt from the Open Letter:
The charge that the conference is “one-sided” is completely and entirely baseless. Some speakers in the conference are not supporters of one-state while others have not expressed an opinion about the matter. The charge of “one-sidedness” is not invoked by these same critics in relation to conferences that discuss the “two-state” solution nor in relation to other academic conferences. For example, there has never been a claim of “one-sidedness” against conferences discussing the effects of global warming when global warming deniers are not invited.The aim of this conference is to explore the possibility of different solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Invoking inflammatory language like “anti-semitism” and “destruction of Israel” to describe the ideas and speakers of the conference is not only incorrect and defamatory but serves to prevent rational discussion of ideas and preempt the effective exercise of speech.

The arbiter of pro-Israel political correctness in the U.S. is pissed (for a change):
Harvard University professor Alan Dershowitz alleged Friday that Media Matters has "crossed the line into anti-semitism" by tolerating an employee who uses charged language to criticize supporters of Israel.
. . . .
The professor directed his complaints at one staffer in particular, M.J. Rosenberg, for downplaying the Iranian nuclear threat and repeatedly employing the term "Israel firster" -- an epithet that implies somebody's loyalties are to Israel before America.
"When you accuse Jews of dual loyalty, you invoke a canard that goes back hundreds of years and falls into the category of anti-semitism," Dershowitz said. "To the extent that Media Matters hired him to do that and is tolerating him, they have crossed the line into anti-semitism."
Dershowitz called on Media Matters to fire Rosenberg, but also called on the White House to disassociate itself from Media Matters -- warning that their cozy relationship would cause problems in the 2012 reelection campaign.
"The president should do to Media Matters what he did to Jeremiah Wright -- totally disassociate, rebuke and say 'I stand with Israel,'" he said.

Dershowitz, though, argued that Israel's and America's interests are aligned, and said Rosenberg was effectively accusing people like him of "treason."
"It's the oldest of charges ... accusing Jews of dual loyalty, and it can't be tolerated, whether it comes from the left or the right," he said. "The tent is not big enough to include people who have engaged in bigotry against the Jewish people."

Dershowitz is, of course, one of the loudest voices trying to shut down the [url=http://rabble.ca/babble/international-news-and-politics/ongoing-zionist-..."One-State" conference[/url] at Harvard this weekend.

Cotler Rejects 'Israeli Apartheid' in South Africa
http://www.cjnews.com/node/89465
"As activists on campuses around the world demonize Israel as an 'apartheid state', Liberal MP Irwin Cotler made the case for Israel as a bastion of human rights in the very place apartheid was practised - South Africa.."
Canadian tax dollars hard at work - spreading Zionist propaganda far and wide.

[url=http://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/media-watch/2012/03/radio-talk-show-host... talk show host Michael Harris fired by Bell Media[/url]
His firing from CFRA takes place after a concerted attack from the Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA), following a detailed article he wrote in iPolitics highlighting Israeli human rights violations and lambasting the Harper government's lack of balance on Middle East issues.Was Harris' most recent firing a result of pressure from CIJA? We will probably never know but when a child is beaten in the schoolyard it is only normal to suspect the school bully.

CIJA's been busy. Here's another of their little projects:
CIJA Setting Up A Community Security Network
http://www.cjnews.com/canada/cija-setting-community-security-force
"..The initiative is called the 'Community Security Network' and is touted as being similar to a Neighbourhood Watch program, only on a national scale. Doron Horowitz, CIJA's Director of National Security Infrastructure and head of the new initiative, told the CJN that the project aims to have the Canadian Jewish community take more responsibility for its own security and project the image that it's looking out for itself.
'We will be less reliant on external security resources and will...complement law enforcement,' he said. This is the Jewish community taking 'an active role in its own security on a civilian level.' Horowitz will begin training 25 volunteers in Toronto starting next month before eventually recruiting members in Ottawa, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary and Vancouver, although not necessarily in that order.
Horowitz, a security specialist and a decorated ex-Israel Defence Forces officer, with specialized training in counter-terrorism - said he hopes to bring in local police to speak to the volunteers to help them understand their role and limitations..."
WTF? I'm sure JDL-Canada and their Kahanist, Kachist, fearless leader Meir is already drawing up a list of likely prospects...
