B’nai Brith and other Zionists are not content with promoting the mass slaughter of Palestinians. These genocidal fanatics want more Congolese killed as well.
In a backdoor admission that the antisemitism smear has lost its weight in left circles, Zios have begun attacking me for opposing Canada’s role in enabling Paul Kagame’s crimes in Congo. On Tuesday B’nai Brith released a libelous statement claiming I deny the Rwandan genocide. It noted: “Yves Engler’s recent comments denying and minimizing the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda are offensive, dangerous, and historically false. B’nai Brith Canada has joined with Rwandan survivor organizations from across Canada to issue a joint statement condemning this attempt to distort one of the most well-documented genocides of the modern era. Denial and revisionism of this kind is not legitimate political discourse. This is an attack on truth, on survivors, and on the memory of more than one million victims.”
While I have little interest defending myself from those promoting a live streamed holocaust, I’ll note that my wife is a Ugandan Tutsi (Bahima) and our marriage took place just over the colonial border. As per the pastoralist Tutsi/Hima tradition, my young kids have been bestowed cows.
B’nai Brith’s statement follows a coordinated social media attack against me over the subject ten days ago. After the successful launch of my NDP leadership bid, an eight-year-old article I published headlined “Statistics, damn lies and the truth about Rwanda genocide” suddenly blew up on social media. Many claimed it denied the genocide despite the words “Rwanda genocide” appearing in the article’s title and the opening sentence reading, “The real Rwanda genocide story has no Canadian heroes.”
In the mistaken belief that the first individual I saw posting the article was operating in good faith, I (erroneously) responded by asking if they thought more Tutsi were killed than lived in the country in 1994. A swarm of Israel aligned bot accounts then pressed X for a “community note” below my post. The absurd community note correction didn’t contradict the article’s main statistical point — made by US academic Allan Stam in the 2014 BBC documentaryRwanda’s Untold Story — that the higher the death toll one cites for the genocidal violence the greater the number and percentage of Hutu victims. It’s understood even if rarely discussed that as hundreds of thousands of Tutsi were slaughtered in 1994, Kagame’s RPF killed tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of Hutu.
Most of the 2017 article focused on Canadians’ role in shaping the simplistic description of the genocide, which Kagame has used to kill millions of Congolese. In what should appeal to Zionists who whine incessantly about people only criticizing Israeli violence, I’ve written dozens of articles and book sections about Canada’s role in the Rwandan genocide and the even greater death toll Kagame is largely responsible for in Congo. In February I wrote an article that began: “Romeo Dallaire has greatly enabled the ‘Butcher of Africa’s Great Lakes’ region. The Canadian general’s fairy tale has repeatedly justified Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame who has once again unleashed horrible violence in Congo.
“Two months ago, a man in front of me at Salon du livre de Montréal asked Dallaire if his ‘opinion of Rwanda has changed since the M23 movement emerged in the Congo?’ The retired general’s response to this question about a Kigali spurred force, which has recently killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands in capturing the Congolese city of Goma, was extreme Kagame propaganda. He said: ‘No because the M23 is but one group who are trying to save the lives of Tutsis, who are Congolese Tutsis, while the Kinshasa government has a dozen or so rebel forces and so on who are slaughtering them. So the M23 are defending. And then the philosophy of Kagame has always been one to be on the offensive so he’s not going to waiting to cross the border into his country to fight he’s going to sort them out on the other side. So he’s simply continuing to get rid of the threat of extremists on the Congolese side and the Rwandan extremists who are there in the Congo still seeking the elimination of the Tutsis.’”
“Twenty-nine years after Rwanda first invaded Congo purportedly to target genocidaires Dallaire is promoting Kigali’s apologia for mass slaughter. The Globe and Mail, New York Times and Financial Times no longer even promote this framing of Rwandan aggression.”
Since publishing the 2017 article the Globe and Mail has demolished important parts of the Kagameist account of 1994. In 2018 I wrote, “a front-page Globe article added to an abundance of evidence suggesting Paul Kagame’s RPF shot down the plane carrying President Juvénal Habyarimana, which sparked the mass killings of spring 1994. ‘New information supports claims Kagame forces were involved in assassination that sparked Rwandan genocide’, noted the headline. The Globe all but confirmed that the surface-to-air missiles used to assassinate the Rwandan and Burundian Hutu presidents [and much of the Rwandan military command] came from Uganda, which backed the RPF’s bid to conquer its smaller neighbour.”
According to the absurd official account, in October 1990 several thousand exiled Tutsi Ugandan troops, including the deputy minister of defence, “deserted” to invade Rwanda. In fact, it was multi-year Ugandan aggression. Uganda/RPF — with their US/Britian/Canada backers — bear significant responsibility for the mass killings in spring 1994.
But B’nai Brith isn’t concerned about any of this. They are simply trying to undermine someone running for an important political position who has stood up to their smears and promotion of the Gaza holocaust. Don’t give these genocidal supremacists an inch. They care nothing at all about the truth.
