Canadians Should Not Be Recruited To Fight For the Israeli Army
https://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/views-expressed/2020/10/canadians-shoul...
"...This is the backdrop to a legal complaint and open letter delivered today to Justice Minister David Lametti opposing the recruitment of Canadians for the Israeli military. Signed by Noam Chomsky, Roger Waters, former MP Jim Manly, filmmaker Ken Loach as well as poet El Jones, author Yann Martel and more than 50 others, it calls on the federal government to apply the Foreign Enlistment Act to those recruiting Canadians to fight in the Israeli military.
But the Trudeau government has shown little interest in potential violations of Canadian law. As the letter notes, Canada's ambassador in Tel Aviv, Deborah Lyons invited 78 Canadians in the IDF to her residence in January for a pizza party. She praised the soldiers as 'a particularly special group' and told her guests 'we at the embassy are very proud of what you're doing.'
A Canadian ambassador celebrating Canadians fighting for another country's military is bizarre. As the open letter points out, the IDF has shot a number of Canadians in recent years. It is clear that Canadians should not be recruited to enforce Israel's occupation. The letter calls for 'a thorough investigation to be undertaken of those who have facilitated this recruiting for the IDF, and if warranted that charges be laid against all those involved in recruiting and encouraging recruiting in Canada for the IDF.' The ball is now in Lametti's court."
Minister of Justice David Lametti
Clearly Canada's ambassador to Israel Deborah Lyons would be a good place to start in the investigation. Those here with Green or NDP MP connections should insist that this matter be raised in the House of Commons, if there's anyone left there who's up to it. A thoroughly disgusting state of affairs this continuing appalling subservience to Apartheid Israel and its lobby.
Controversies at U of T Law, York University Highlight Escalating Suppression of Moderate Voices Criticizing Israel
https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/2020/10/25/controversies...
"...While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long been a flashpoint on campuses across Canada, legal experts and advocacy groups are raising concerns that these recent incidents suggest an escalation of silencing even moderate critiques of Israel, and not just in the halls of academia, but in the media, the political sphere and social interactions. In a recent article on 'pro-Israel cancel culture' Professor Emeritus Larry Haiven of St Mary's University in Halifax listed more than two dozen examples of campaigns against those who critique Israel or support Palestinian rights here."
Canadian Zionization continues apace. A now well established and deeply entrenched Apartheid Israel lobby must be tracked, traced isolated and destroyed just as Apartheid South Africa's was here. It is a developmental task for the Canadian left to begin to take this much more seriously. Things have deteriorated to such a degree that even the word 'Palestine' cannot be spoken on our own national broadcaster the CBC, while Canadian IDF members can be publicly feted and openly congratulated by our ambassador to Israel. Our shameful official servility to Israel is now known and flagged worldwide. We lost a UN Security Council seat largely because of it, and it's long past time Canadians demand this disgraceful state of affairs be ended. Israel's lobby and fund-raising organizations, pro-Israel representatives and friends in political parties and the government is a good place to start. Down with Apartheid Israel. Free Palestine!

Senior government officials say Bercovici often met with Israeli government representatives without her Canadian embassy advisers present..."
At some point in the mid to late 1990s, Ambassador positions were passed out like lollipops to favoured business and academic people. Prior to that, getting an ambassador position was part and parcel of a long-term career in external affairs/foreign affairs. In some countries, the whole "embassey and staff" of past were replaced by selecting a locally established successful Canadian who became the official "representative". It's no wonder that we find ourselves with "ambassadors" who just do their own thing.

While the House interview was appalling, Singh’s anti-Palestinian record is long-standing. In the summer he refused to endorse a pledge, supported by 70 MPs, to oppose Israel’s plan to annex the Palestinian West Bank. During the 2019 election the party leadership blocked a half-dozen candidates from running partly or entirely because of their support for Palestinian rights.

From Above: For those dippers who would prefer to avert their eyes...
"...Singh's response to the CBC represents an over-the-top bid to appease CIJA, which has been running an aggressive campaign to pressure the NDP leadership to suppress debate...
Singh and his [Hill & Knowlton] handlers know he went too far in appeasing those promoting what Israel's leading human rights group B'Tselem recently dubbed 'a regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.' This is apartheid.'
It will be interesting to see what the NDP leadership is prepared to do to block members from debating widely supported pro-Palestinian resoutions at the convention. Hopefully Singh's House interview riles up delegates to aggressively challenge the NDP leadership to do what's right..."
The present pro-Zionist, pro-Apartheid, anti-Palestinian position of the NDP is an abomination in a party that pretends to be a 'progressive' parliamentary party. This unacceptable status quo must be confronted and changed. Don't follow the leaders. Resist don't collaborate.
"People have pointed out a lot of problems with Jagmeet Singh's response, but the worst part I think it that it doesn't address the main issue: Singh went on national radio and gave the impression to the entire country that it is antisemitic to support Palestinian human rights."
