Any anti-Jewish speech in Canada (free country?) is declared anti-Semitic

[PakistaniandProud]

In an affront to free speech, Canadian committee declares that criticism of Israel should be considered anti-Semitic.

Nearly two years after the first hearings were held in Ottawa, the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition fto Combat Anti-Semitism (CPCCA) released a detailed report on July 7 that found that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Canada, especially on university campuses.

While the CPCCA's final report does contain some cases of real anti-Semitism, the committee has provided little evidence that anti-Semitism has actually increased in Canada in recent years. Instead, it has focused a disproportionate amount of effort and resources on what it calls a so-called "new anti-Semitism": criticism of Israel.

Indeed, the real purpose of the CPCCA coalition seems to be to stifle critiques of Israeli policy and disrupt pro-Palestinian solidarity organizing in Canada, including, most notably, Israeli Apartheid Week events. Many of the CPCCA's findings, therefore, must be rejected as both an attack on freedom of speech and freedom of protest, and as recklessly undermining the fight against real instances of anti-Semitism.

I think your title meant anti-Israeli rather than anti-Jewish?

Anti-Jewish IS usually anti-semetic

 

[Harry_Thomason]

Canadian government is in Israel's pocket, therefore any criticism of Israel in Canada is considered as anti-Semitic, and punishable by law. Want to criticize Israel? Welcome to the jail!

Pathetic, and yet another example how "democracy", "human rights" and "freedom of speech" works in the West.

"New antisemitism" = anti-Zionism.

I guess professors Mearsheimer and Walt, the writers of above article will face jail time, if they go to Canada?

And here is an interesting quote from a random Canuck:

Basically every politician in the western world publicly supports Israel. Behind closed doors though? Think back to when Obama and Sarkozy thought their microphones where off but they were still on and the media heard their real opinions.No one likes Israel but I would rather have the jews and muslims right over there, and not here.

Good Job, Canada. Too many have come there seeking freedom and brought with them prejudice and hatred.

Good job for cancelling out free speech?

Those who are against Israel aren't always filled with hatred, rather, those against Israel are almost never filled with hatred from what I have noticed. They have legitimate reasons to hate Israel.

why should criticism of israel be considered anti semitism. By stopping healthy and open criticism you are playing into hands of extremists, dont you think.

Many Jews tend to think that they're the supreme 'people' in the world. PteX is one of them.

Ever heard of freedom of speech? We have communist parties in the US, we have the KKK, we have the NOI, we have HuT, AIPAC, ZOA, etc. - ALL stupid, retarded groups. And yet, they can speak whatever they want.

People even make entire careers by criticizing religions like Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Ever heard of David Duke?

You don't like it? Deal with it. That's partly how a nation's intellect evolves.

I am not saying that it's any better in Muslim-majority countries though. Those are partly reasons why many of them are lagging behind in many fields.

Those that are against Israel are filled 99.99% of the time with bigotry, ignorance and hatred.

When you give freedom of speech to people that would not give it to you, do you see logic here?
Some people do not deserve freedom of speech, when all they do is spew hatred.

When i see so called Canadians protesting against Israel and screaming "Death to Israel" and "Death to America", it fills one with bile, don't you think?

When Al-Jazeera criticizes Canadian policies, you know that Canada is doing something right.

Wrong.......

The title of this thread is misleading - there is no law in Canada against criticising Israel.

All you hunger and hate for nothing.
