Zionist authoritarians run roughshod over Canadian liberties

Genocidal Jewish supremacists applauded the NDP vetting committee’s decision to exclude Bianca Mugyenyi from the leadership race. It’s just another example of Zionists celebrating and promoting authoritarianism.

The secret unelected three-person vetting committee’s recent decision to exclude Mugyenyi’s candidacy has won praise from the most extreme Zionists. A day before posting “Make Gaza Jewish”, Meir Weinstein posted, “sometimes the NDP does the right thing” while J.ca published an article celebrating Mugyenyi’s exclusion that included a bizarre mash up photo. Facts Matter noted, “The NDP has announced that it has blocked Bianca Mugyenyi, wife of notorious activist/agitator Yves Engler, from entering its leadership race, arguing she would function as a proxy candidate. Facts Matter commends the party for enforcing its rules and safeguarding the integrity of the leadership selection process.”

In another sign of Zionist authoritarianism, the advocacy agent of Canada’s Jewish federations celebrated a judge giving the police greater rights to criminalize email petition campaigns. On Monday the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs posted, “Last Friday, pro-Hamas extremist Yves Engler was found guilty of harassment and obstruction of justice following a slew of mass emails sent to a Montreal police officer in the hate-crimes division. This sends an important message: harassment and intimidation have no place in our democracy, and those who cross that line will be held accountable.”

Canada Israel Friendship Association, Leviathan, Tafsik and others all posted memes or statements about a judge finding me guilty on three counts of harassment, indecent communication and obstruction of justice for asking supporters to email the police with a statement that began with “dear” and ended with “sincerely”. For its part, the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation says it will “file a Community Impact Statement” in a bid for a stiffer sentence, arguing I have a “pattern of behavior of intimidation and mischief targeting members of Canada’s Jewish community.”

In a post about the judge finding me guilty, Chair of the Criminal Law Committee of the Alliance of Canadians Combatting Antisemitism (ALCCA), Rochelle Direnfeld, said her organization seeks to press police to apply the (extremely vague) indecent communication charges brought against me. Direnfeld noted, “This is an important decision with relevance to those situations where technology is used as a weapon to harass persons with contrary perspectives, a misuse experienced by many members of our community and allies. ALCCA’s police training identifies this section of the Criminal Code as an underutilized tool in combatting hatred. Unlike the conventional offence of criminal harassment, harassing communications does not require proof that the repeated communications caused the victim to reasonably fear for their safety or the safety of anyone known to them. It is sufficient to prove that the accused repeatedly communicates or causes repeated communications to be made to the victim, with the intent to harass.”

As Israel slaughters 31 in a day during a ‘ceasefire’, those opposing Canadian complicity in genocide face jail and loss of employment. This week Bahira Abdulsalam is facing a disciplinary hearing before the Professional Engineers Ontario due to complaints submitted by the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation and others. Zionists are targeting Abdulsalam’s employment because she posted against condemning Palestinian resistance organizations.

In Ottawa the past two weeks activist Deana Sherif was on trial for “seven counts of assault, harassment, intimidation, possession of a weapon, and obstructing police, involving interactions during a pro-Palestinian demonstration on Wellington Street.” She is accused of harassing and assaulting Conservative MP Brad Vis and Jewish Federation of Ottawa employee David Sachs at a rally near Parliament on April 15, 2024. They are claiming a whistle Sherif had was a weapon.

In another sign of Zionist criminalization, B’nai Brith recently launched a campaign “to designate the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, and the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist entities under Canadian law.” Without a hint of irony an organization advocating for a state committing genocide in Gaza and violence across the region notes, “Canada has long understood that democratic societies endure only when they draw firm lines against movements that organize, finance, and legitimize violence.”

The listing of the Muslim Brotherhood is part of Zionists’ bid to criminalize any organization (they can) that puts a check on Zionist violence.

In recent weeks leading anti-Palestinian Liberal MP Anthony Housefather has pushed hard for Bill C-9, which reinforces Canada’s terror list in service of Zionism by criminalizing the display of listed “terror” groups’ symbols in certain contexts. The Combatting Hate Act also restricts protests outside religious/cultural institutions in a step towards federal “bubble zones”. In the recent “Why ‘Bubble Zones’ Are a Toxic Threat to Democracy: Hasbara cedes to Shtika” Larry Haiven offers a powerful challenge to the rise of these no-protest zones and how Zionists suppress speech.Haiven correctly notes that Israel advocates have become steadily more dependent on silencing (Shtika) versus propaganda (Hasbara) as opposition to Israeli criminality has grown.

Zionism has devastated Palestinians and many others in the region. Zionist authoritarians are also running roughshod over hard fought Canadian liberties.
