Lying Jackal Deathwatch Reaches critical juncture...as Kinsella threatens MP Lois Brown
There is an old Russian proverb: "Just as the tiger must use all its cunning and strength to catch a rabbit, when you sacrifice a jackal, take your time, make it a learning experience for others around you who need to be reminded of your darker skills". Thank you Marcus.

Critical information has come to light indicating that Warren Kinsella, in an abuse of his position with the LPC, threatened to denounce the Canada Israel Committee to the Liberal Party of Canada if his demands, which stem from a demented & self-destructive personal vendetta against bloggers, were not met. Sources indicate that this attempt to strongarm the CIC lays behind the decision to terminate their relationship with Warren Kinsella, was it a mutual decison i.e. a forced or mutual decision to resign? We don't know. Stay tuned. Iggy will not be pleased. Nor for that matter will Warren Kinsella, but then who cares what he thinks.
Update: News will slowly leak out. One drip at a time. Drip 2.
Drip3 - Excerpts - "Finally, as far as the LPC goes, if I asked for my advice - and I am all the time - I will say that CIC has utterly marginalized itself"
"...It will have provided material support to two women who regularly characterize Liberals as criminals, pedophiles and anti-Semites, and thereby made a clear partisan choice."
In response to Warren: That said, I do want you to know that I rejected outright your caution regarding our standing with the LPC if we go ahead....
Liberals as Criminals? Check! Anti-semites? Check! Pedophiles? The Jackal must be drinking again.
Drip4 - Correction Jackal - former friends
Drip5 - The Magic Bus
Drip6 "Meanwhile, Mr. Kinsella and his lawyer have asked Commons Speaker Peter Milliken to either admonish Ms. Brown or allow Mr. Kinsella's replay to her allegations to be entered into the Commons record." Ms. Taber check your inbox.

From Harry's Place - Commenter Sea Kitten sums up the Canada that refuses to fight back against against Jew-Baiting Leftists and Islamists:
What a mess is Canada. Thanks to the long domination of the liberal left there, journalists are hauled up before kangaroo courts for accurately quoting European Muslims, the indigenous live in squalid zoo-like reservations sniffing petrol, and now we see near-pogroms on university campuses organized by executive officers of student unions. Recently the American Political Science Association announced it was reconsidering Toronto as a venue for its annual conference because of the threat to academic freedom in the country. And of course all this exists side-by-side with the notorious and insufferable conceit of Canadian mainstream opinion which regards itself as probably the most enlightened country in the world.
It’s important to realise that the ugly turn Canada has taken is entirely a consequence of the influence of the “soft” left-wing politics similar to the kind that HP espouses, and not the work of a handful of extremists preying on an otherwise healthy body-politic. If you want to fight fascism, fight the liberal left, which by undermining traditional values facilitates the extremists. If you want a society fit for human beings where Jews and other minorities of ethnicity or intellectual viewpoint are safe, promote conservatism.

Jewish Students Attacked at York University now face Charges!
For demonstrating without a permit! (Update: Commenter Sea Kitten sums up the Canada that refuses to fight back against against Jew-Baiting Leftists and Islamists)
From a source: Prof. Ed Morgan is filing a defence motion for the Hasbarah fellows at York University. You are not going to believe this. The Hasbarah fellows are being charged with demonstrating without a permit, and three Jewish students fined $500 each. The Muslim mob did not have a permit either. The thing is, this is the most critical week because if the Hasbara fellows get banned (even temporarily as is being suggested) then they can't be present on campus to do their planned counter-activism against Israel Apartheid Week.
Okay the rat-bastards at York U should officially rename that cess-pool Hamas U.

We are here to talk about a longstanding problem, which has only increased in severity since Israel’s operation in Gaza. In recent weeks, CFJS has been fielding an overwhelming number of requests for support from Jewish students, requests that are coming as a result of a very disheartening and increasingly scary climate on campus.
This disturbing reality is part of a broader international trend: Canadians need to be aware that our campuses are not immune from the antisemitic violence and threats of violence that have become all too commonplace in Europe and Latin America over the last several months.

· Go back to Germany

U.K. Professor Cancels talk at York University - Cites administrations failure to condemn attack on Jewish Students
Dear Dr. Shoukri,
(President and Vice Chancellor, York University)
I am Shalom Lappin Professor of Computational Linguistics at King's College, London, and I am currently a visiting professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, where I am on sabbatical for the semester.
I was recently invited to give a talk on my research on computational modeling of grammar induction in the Colloquium of the Cognitive Science Program of the Philosophy Department at York, on March 25. I accepted the invitation with great pleasure. I received my BA in Philosophy from York in May 1970, and I welcomed this opportunity to return to my first academic home. It is therefore with considerable regret that I must now withdraw from this engagement in light of the York administration's handling of the attack on Jewish students that
took place on the afternoon of February 11.
The reports of this attack that I have read in both the Canadian and the foreign press (confirmed by eyewitness accounts that I have received) converge on a disturbing sequence of events. A group of approximately 100 students supporting the York Student Federation broke up a press conference organized by other students campaigning to impeach the YSF. This group then pursued approximately 40 of the students from the press conference, most of them Jewish,
to the offices of the campus Hillel, where the latter locked themselves in for fear of physical assault. The YSF supporters banged on the door and the windows of the offices, shouting threatening comments at the students trapped inside. The students in the Hillel headquarters appealed to campus security for assistance but received none. They then called the Toronto Police, who eventually arrived to escort them out of the offices, through lines of hostile YSF supporters chanting angry slogans and hurling insults at them.
To date I have seen no public statement by any University official on this incident, beyond the expressionon of an intention to investigate it. I called your office on Monday, February 23 to seek clarification of the administration's view of the attack. A member of your staff called me back today and graciously listened to my concerns. However, she was unable to do more than
reiterate the University's official position that the matter is still under investigation. Given that the incident took place two weeks ago, I find it odd that the administration has been unable to come to any conclusions on what took place. It is particularly remarkable that it felt no need to
release at least a general statement specifying that violence and abuse of any kind will not be tolerated on campus, and confirming that all students have the right to express their views without fear of intimidation.
The fact that the University has not taken up this assault with the students who launched it, nor acted to reassure the students who they targeted indicates a severe failure on the part of the administration to fulfill its reponsibility to sustain a campus free of physical violence and harrassment. Several of the Jewish students at York claim that the assault was not an aberration, but part of a general atmosphere of extreme hostility that they have been forced to contend with over an extended period of time. I am in no position to evaluate this assertion. But it seems to me that the administration is obliged to address the grievances of students who feel that they are being victimized, particularly in light of a significant incident which lends some credence to their charge.
I do not regard the ethnic identities or the political views of any of the participants in this event as of relevant concern. All sides to a controversial question have an equal right to be heard in a civil environment of tolerance and mutual respect. Nor do I see criticism of Israel as the problem here. I have frequently spoken out publicly against the policies of the Israeli government, most recently in a joint letter and comments critical of Israel's operation in Gaza, published in the Observer in January.
If one group of students is permitted to engage in violent harrassment of another without the decisive intervention of the University's administration, then the conditions for a free and unfettered exchange of ideas are completely undermined, and the primary purpose of university life is betrayed.
When I was an undergraduate at York in the late 1960s the University was home to lively political activity on a variety of issues. The Israeli-Palestininan conflict was one of these, and discussion was intense, occasionally heated. However, at no time did this discussion degenerate into systematic bullying, initimidation, or expressions of bigotry. Nor would the administration of that period have allowed it to do so. It is a source of great sadness to me that the current administration is either incapable or unwilling to insure the existence of a basic culture of decency, civility, and free speech on its campus. This culture is a necessary feature of any serious institution of higher learning.
Sincerely,
Shalom Lappin

The Human Right To "Hang" With The Ladies Even if You Are A Dude
There's nothing Barbara Hall can't fix.
Xanthippa is on to something, from the comments:
"this decision says men cannot be banned from the 'Sister Swim'. Now we just need a brave male (perhaps willing to 'experiment with what it feels like to be a woman - even if for just a few hours) to dress in drag and put it to a test!"
There's stupid...
And then there's anti-semite stupid. Robert McClelland is the benchmark.
McClelland, among other anti-semites made themselves ready allies of Warren Kinsella in his effort to smear Kathy Shaidle, in fact the anti-semitic left were Warren's biggest cheerleaders. Note that Kinsella himself also attempted to smear Shaidle as an anti-semite so low has he sunk in his derangement.

Warren Kinsella went after Kathy Shaidle , among other of his smears, he lied that she was an anti-semite. I will never forget this. Kathy Shaidle will forgive him, I am unable to at this time. No details regarding the additional despicable actions against Kathy Shaidle that precipitated Kinsella's unceremonius dumping will be revealed by me, suffice it to say that Warren Kinsella's threats extended well beyond TVO and Steve Paikin. Good people stepped forward to renounce Warren Kinsella's vile and gutless tactics, that is my comfort, and for that those who spoke up deserve privacy.

The latest lie from the Lying Jackal: From the comments - this is allegedly Warren K speaking in the comments of his blog - "Contrary to what the crazy neocon blogs claim, I've never held any paid position with any Jewish group. I was on the Canada-Israel Committee board a few years back, and I've provided a bit of free advice to the CJC, twice. (Free advice is worth what you get paid for it, etc. etc.) "
Uh right Warren, the position may not have been a paid one and no one has suggested it was, but you seem to have forgotten this relationship, seems a bit more formal than "free advice" offered "twice". Here on February 10 2008 Warren Kinsella announces that he has accepted a position on the Legal Advisory Committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress, this occurred shortly after his debacle at the National Post, the Google cache page is here: Gee Warren I thought you knew how to lie better;)

Further to the above: This is a screen shot of Warren Kinsella's blog where he is alleged to have made the statement about his non-relationship with the Canadian Jewish Congress. I say allegedly but I doubt Warren would allow himself to be impersonated on his own blog;)

Update: The Lying Jackal is silent on Sieg Heil Sid Ryan's appearance on TVO's Agenda. Is this proof that his 5FeetOfFury Jihad was simply a rage-a-holic vendetta that has blown up in his face? You bet it is. I notice none of the "friends" who joined Kinsella in his attempted smear against 5FeetOfFury are protesting Sid's appearance either. Very telling indeed.
Oh yes indeed it is.

Update: A kind reader recommends that you post comments in support of FiveFeetOfFury at the TVO blog. I did - here and here ;)
Warren Kinsella is a liar, that we know, however he is also evidently in need of an intervention, so obsessive is his self-destructive hatred for Kathy Shaidle that he is blind to the fact that he consorts with anti-semites of the left in order to pursue his petty vendetta, all the while employed by the CJC. It speaks to the fact that the Jackal has so few real allies otherwise. This would be mortally embarassing for anyone of right mind, but we are dealing with the Jackal here.
Yesterday Warren Kinsella ran this piece in which he claims Ms. Shaidle - a staunchly Pro-Israel blogger is ok discriminating against Jews. See the screenshot below. This is how desperate the Lying Jackal has become. He now resorts to outright lies. To anyone not in need of an intervention or otherwise cognitively impaired it is plainly clear that Shaidle merely lends support to the libertarian stance that the market place of ideas will deal far more effectively with discrimination than any other solution. Warren may be either too stupid or too blinded by hatred to understand that distinction, but I suspect he simply chooses to lie.
You see Warren Kinsella is hurting because of his latest self-inflicted public humiliation. Steve Paikin of TVO's Agenda exposed just how impotent and poorly regarded the Lying Jackal is by the mainstream after Paikin laughed off Kinsella's demand to have Ms. Shaidle removed as a guest on The Agenda. See the screenshot below in which the Lying Jackal vents his spleen at Paikin for having completely dismissed the impotent Jackal's petty tantrum.
This is Steve Paikin's response to the Lying Jackal smear job on Kathy Shaidle:
Later that same day, I received another email from Warren informing me that he was emailing the Minister of Education to ask her to pressure us to “unbook” Kathy Shaidle, and that if we didn’t, there would be significant consequences for TVO and The Agenda. He did, indeed, email the Minister.
Well, now we’ve got a different story, right? Now, it’s no longer a story about the appropriateness of our choosing Kathy to appear on the program. Now it’s a story about a well known Liberal Party operative threatening us (with what? We didn’t know) unless we did what he said.
That’s a very different story and as a result, we naturally refused to “unbook” Kathy. We do not take our marching orders on whom to put on or take off our television program from anyone, but most assuredly, not from partisan political operatives with personal grudges (Warren’s tangle with Kathy, I’ve learned, goes back awhile).
Poor Warren he has ditched a once promising career as a political bootlick, it's just sad now.

Full text of the Canadian Arab Federations response to Jason Kenney:
Response to Mr. Jason Kenney, M.P.
The Canadian Arab Federation (CAF) finds it deeply regrettable that Canada's Minister of Immigration, Jason Kenney, has threatened to cut funding to newcomer service agencies served by the CAF and has used the remarks made by CAF’s president, Khaled Mouammar while Israel was committing war crimes in Gaza, as an excuse to malign and intimidate Arab and Muslim communities who have suffered and continue to suffer from marginalization, threats and the muzzling of their voices.
We note with disappointment that this most recent attack on the CAF is part of a campaign waged by Mr. Kenney who has targeted and systematically vilified the CAF. In January 2008, Mr. Kenney smeared and stereotyped the Arab community during one of his exchanges with a Liberal MP in the House of Commons, and he described CAF as a racist organization in a speech in Bucharest Romania in June 2007. Mr. Kenney’s most recent attack on CAF came just 3 days ago at an anti-Semitism conference in London, England where he labeled the CAF and Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) as groups that promote anti-Semitism. This characterization is slanderous and untrue on a number of levels. The CAF works with many Jewish anti-Zionist groups on a variety of projects. Furthermore, Arabs are a Semitic people, so Mr. Kenney's unfounded allegations and intimidating threats against the CAF misrepresent the organization and our community and work to inflame and divide Canadians. .
Since 1992, CAF's settlement programs have demonstrated a solid record of success that is available for any interested party to examine and review. These programs are thoroughly audited and have been praised for the efficiency and dedication with which they are implemented. Threatening to cut funding for these programs is a form of indiscriminate and collective punishment upon people who require these services. We wonder what motivated the Minister to issue this threat. If it stems from a disagreement with our position on certain political issues, we strongly believe that this constitutes an infringement on our freedoms and rights as guaranteed by the Charter. We have consistently sought to empower our community to speak its mind and participate fully, openly and unabashedly in the Canadian democratic process. Mr. Kenney’s comments serve to set this endeavour back. Is the muting of our voices is now a condition for receiving funding and support from our government? This is a matter of grave concern to all agencies providing language and settlement services to immigrants and newcomers.
Mr. Kenney's comments, whether intentionally or unintentionally, perpetuate negative sentiments towards Arab and Muslim Canadians. These come directly after the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) released a report stating that "Canada should strengthen its domestic violence laws and stop religious discrimination against Muslims…and do more to improve the welfare of its Aboriginal citizens".
We call upon the Harper government to adopt a zero tolerance approach to expressions of Islamophobia and Arabophobia (the latter of which is a form of anti-Semitism), in the public arena. The government must recognize Islamophobia and Arabophobia for what they are, pernicious evils that must be exposed, confronted and repudiated whenever and where ever they appear, evils so profound that they are ultimately a threat to us all.
The CAF will continue to provide its services to all Canadians and expects that funds will be unchanged for programs that we have implemented with excellence. The CAF will not be intimidated into silence and will defend the rights and freedoms of our communities as protected under the Charter. We will continue to combat racism and uphold the rights of racialized groups and human rights in Canada and abroad, as well as to vigorously expose the serious human rights violations perpetuated by Israel against the Palestinian people and its illegal occupation of Arab lands.

Hmmm talk about torn....
Update: Bill Whatcott tells his side here. And yes it has a link to the flyer.
Calgary police are investigating a self-described “Christian activist” who’s been distributing flyers showing a local university professor’s face superimposed on a graphic sexual photo.
In 2007, Lund won a controversial Alberta human rights commission case against a youth pastor who, in a letter to a Red Deer newspaper, likened gay people to pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps. The recent flyers, which were distributed in communities near the university, describe Lund’s complaint as “homofascist” and “bigoted.” A photo on the flyer shows men having oral sex, and Lund’s photograph is used to block out the details.
It's Whatcott v. Darren Lund - He of the Rev. Boissoin railroading.
Do Whatcott's flyers constitute a hate crime? No not in the least. Lunds kids did see them however and that is unfortunate. But that's as much slack as I'll ever cut Lund.
Noah Kochman, Chair, Israel Affairs, Canadian Federation of Jewish Students at a press conference held today regarding the abysmal situation at York
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming here today. My name is Noah Kochman, and I am chair of Israel Affairs at CFJS, the Canadian Federation of Jewish Students. I'd like to introduce Chelsea Sauvé, President of Hillel at Carleton and Daniel Ferman, President of Hillel at York.
I have some opening remarks, my colleagues will say a few words, and then we'll take your questions.
The Canadian Federation of Jewish Students is the national voice of Jewish students in Canada. We have an executive that represents a national body of members and affiliates of more than 30,000 students, who come from 40 campuses across the country.
We are here to talk about a longstanding problem, which has only increased in severity since Israel’s operation in Gaza. In recent weeks, CFJS has been fielding an overwhelming number of requests for support from Jewish students, requests that are coming as a result of a very disheartening and increasingly scary climate on campus.
This disturbing reality is part of a broader international trend: Canadians need to be aware that our campuses are not immune from the antisemitic violence and threats of violence that have become all too commonplace in Europe and Latin America over the last several months.
· Die Jew
· Fucking Jew
· Go back to Germany
· Oh look, there’s a Jew he'll pick up the penny
· The Holocaust was just a Jewish conspiracy - the real Holocaust is in Gaza
These are just some samples of the epithets that have been hurled at Jewish students in the last few weeks. These incidents cross any conceivable distinction between criticism of Israel's policies and outright antisemitism. They are, purely and simply, the most vile expressions of race hatred. They can enjoy no conceivable protection of academic discourse. They are expressly intended to silence debate, to shut down discussion, to intimidate those who disagree. And they are becoming shockingly frequent on Canadian campuses.
No student can learn and grow in an atmosphere of intimidation, harassment and hate. But, this is what many of our university campuses have become.
Today we are calling attention to the growth of an ugly campus trend that brandishes the banner of "academic freedom" while repudiating any responsibility that comes with these freedoms.
With increasing frequency and vitriol, our campuses are being turned into bastions of intolerance, bullying and intimidation directed by highly organized anti-Israel activists against Jewish students – both those attempting to stand up in Israel’s defence, and those simply attempting to attend their classes quietly. This has created a toxic and frightening atmosphere in which Jewish students fear for their safety.
We have received reports of antisemitic swarming of Jewish Students, confinement, verbal and physical abuse from Canadian university campuses in Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Kitchener.
Public spaces on university campuses have been taken over by angry mobs of students pinpointing students of certain national or ethnic origin as unacceptable and calling for their ousting from campus.
Recently we have seen some faculty members browbeat or berate Jewish and pro-Israel students – in class, through email exchanges and public confrontation. On one campus, a professor used the term "nefarious" to describe a Jewish student club, and that professor took pains to publicly name and provide phone numbers of those Jews on campus he thought should be “outed” for their supportive views of Israel.
Posters on campuses have ranged from offensive to blatantly racist – notably at the University of Manitoba. Though administrators have taken steps to remove what they deem to be offensive, such posters have simply reappeared.
Students at Jewish cultural tables that contained NO MATERIAL WHATSOEVER about the Middle East – including one for Holocaust remembrance – have been harassed, received death threats, been called ‘dirty Jews’ and have been told to gather the rest of their Zionists and to get off campus.
And while university administrators and law enforcement have begun investigating the targeting of Jewish students on campus, especially those incidents involving physical violence, the hateful polarization of these campuses is not going away.
With me today are two students who will speak to you of their personal experiences.
Before I ask them to speak, I would like to express the following concerns of CFJS which we hope all Canadians share:
Hate and harassment of students for their religious identity, nationality, sexual orientation or for any views they may have is directly contrary to what our universities attempt to achieve and to what Canada stands for.
As Canadian citizens, we know that universities reflect the diversity that defines Canada. We grew up in a diverse, accepting society, made up of a wide array of peoples from a multitude of backgrounds. We cherish those differences as well as the shared values that make us all Canadian.
As Canadian students, we want our college campuses to be places where we can learn, analyze, and exchange ideas. The campus is supposed to be the most free and open environment that exists.
It is not reasonable to believe that all students and professors will agree on subjective political questions or other academic dilemmas. Indeed it is the openness of a university that is most conducive to discussing the toughest questions in an open, safe, and respectful manner.
The behaviour of some professors, as well as of some student and faculty unions, has given aid and comfort to those whose agenda is contrary to the basic premise of open and respectful debate upon which our universities depend.
When students are humiliated by faculty and silenced by other students simply because they hold a contrary view, the values of higher education are diminished.
When students of identifiable ethnic or religious communities attend school in fear of being harassed with racial slurs, shouting and hateful slogans, the values of the university and of Canadian society as a whole have been trampled.
Every Canadian has a stake in ensuring that universities maintain their mission to educate and open minds in environments that safely allow and encourage opposing views. We call upon our political and social leaders to insist that publically supported institutions of higher learning reflect the core democratic values of Canadian society. We ask all Canadians to condemn the racist intimidation that has become commonplace on our campuses, and to demand that our University administrations ensure that all students enjoy the personal and intellectual freedom to which they are entitled.
Intimidation and violence must be rejected as the means of handling conflict in this country, and most especially within our universities.
And we must not allow silence in the face of these events to confer consent.
Aww Khaled Mouammar come on out and say it, you know you want to... It's the Jooo's!
Although the focus of the panel's work is racism, Canadian Arab Federation president Khaled Mouammar -- who was invited to speak at the news conference -- instead focused his comments on what he called the problem of private funding to universities.
Institutions are "susceptible to blackmail'' because private donors put pressure on them to "curtail and muzzle freedom of expression and freedom of speech,'' he said. Mouammar, did not offer any concrete examples when asked.

Good old Khaled, never at a loss for words:

Paging Jay Currie, a CHRC Section 13(1) complaint is needed STAT! Oh the humanity! A new low is reached! Quick Fundies get in touch with Jay and start those faxes hummin! All 10 of ya.
Claiming to defend the Jewish People, the B'nai Brith organization ignores the Christian fundamentalist supporters of Israel who cheer on the internecine bloodshed between Jewish and Palestinian people - So supporting Hamas is ok by them huh? Screw em flood the CHRC with Section 13 complaints.
From a press release issued by The Canadian Arab Federation on behalf of the Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians - (a pretty small group of 35 dhimmis er dummies it seems) condemning B'nai Briths National Post Advertisment protesting Whack -A -Jew-Week , otherwise known as Israeli Apartheid Week at our Universities.
....
Being Jewish critics of Israel, we have a response to the domineering full-page proclamation of the B’nai Brith organization.
Peace will be possible when Israel recognizes that the Palestinians have the same reciprocal rights as any other people, such as the Jewish People. Israel does not act on behalf of the Jewish community when it substitutes war for diplomacy and so we say, “Not In Our Name”. Israel is not denounced for being predominantly Jewish but for its military aggression.
The B'nai Brith public statement, National Post Feb. 15/09, is written as if it were an order; "They must come forward to prevent Israeli Apartheid Week." What could possibly warrant such a drastic statement that requires the suspension of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and its provision for the freedom of expression?
There would have to be another Holocaust requiring the intervention of all concerned peoples - or is this a facade of inflated language? That assault of words criticizing some demonstrators’ slogans is tantamount to denying the massacre inflicted upon the Palestinian refugees that harbour themselves in the Gaza strip - by the sanctified State of Israel. The current closure of Gaza limits provisions to 125 trucks a day; a minimum of 400 trucks are necessary. Even such limited aid has only been achieved due to the pressure exerted by Israel’s own allies including the European Union, the United Nations Organization and the U.S.A.
Claiming to defend the Jewish People, the B'nai Brith organization ignores the Christian fundamentalist supporters of Israel who cheer on the internecine bloodshed between Jewish and Palestinian people. The demonstrations objected to by the B’nai Brith seek security for both peoples and yet are denounced for being motivated by hatred for all that is Jewish. The great majority of Jewish people do not live in Israel and many oppose what Israel has done to the Palestinians. One such Jewish dissident is the subject of the B'nai Brith call for censorship, Ronnie Kasrils, the Jewish Lithuanian descendent who became South Africa's Minister of Intelligence Services (2004-2008). He is scheduled to speak for the ‘Israeli Apartheid Week’ in Montréal, March 4th at McGill University.
Many Jewish and Palestinian demonstrators now say in harmony; “Jews and Arabs are united - Israel's wrongs must be righted.”

As you recall Blazingcatfur was first outta the gate with video showing Khaled Mouammar of the Canadian Arab Federation, a respected "stakeholder" of the CHRC - Canadian Human Rights Commission - that figures, calling Kenney, Harper, Peter Kent and others "Professional Whores" for supporting Israel. Well now the CAF is to be defunded. Let the hate-mail commence.
Elizabeth Thompson - Calgary Sun
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is poised to slash federal funding to Canada's largest Arabic group after its president called him a "professional whore" for supporting Israel.
In an exclusive interview with Sun Media from London, England, where he is to speak today at an international conference on anti-Semitism, Kenney said groups are free within legal bounds to say what they like. But groups whose leaders say intolerant or hateful things shouldn't get taxpayer funding.
"We should not be rewarding those who express views that are contrary to Canada's best liberal values of tolerance and mutual respect."
One of those groups, said Kenney, is the Canadian Arab Federation whose president Khaled Mouammar called him a "professional whore" after Kenney criticized the presence of Hezbollah and Hamas flags at anti-Israel rallies in Toronto.

Memo to the Lying Jackal - stop drinking the Kool-Aid
Recently Michael Ignatieff aide Warren Kinsella - who is apparently also employed by the Canadian Jewish Congress of all things, failed in his efforts at fascist style mob censorship. Kinsella, about the only one left, who revels in his own self-portrayal as some sort of "uber" politcial strategist made a determined attempt to do a cut and paste smear against blogger Kathy Shaidle, a bizarre personal vendetta that backfired.
What was remarkably ironic about Kinsella's effort were the number of Jew-Baiters, oops sorry "anti-zionists", assorted internet crazies, and Anti-Tarek Fatah members of the Liberal Party, who gleefully signed on as the always unwitting Kinsella's allies in the hope of censoring Ms. Shaidle, a staunch defender of Israel.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows, as do mobs I suppose. But for Kinsella's kind of course, a complete lack of scruples has bestowed upon him a blinding hubris to which all else is subordinate. I wonder if Warren knows who he's been sleeping with? ...I bet Iggy would like to know, Ignatieff.M@parl.gc.ca ;)

Letter to the editor National Post:
...
Surveying the scene on university campuses today -- Jewish students feeling endangered; calls for a boycott of "Zionist" professors; academics in the forefront of an ongoing intellectual pogrom against the world's only Jewish state -- it is clear that we are witnessing a sickening reprise of those bad old days. With one major difference. This time around the goal isn't the extermination of the Jewish people; that would be "anti-Semitic," and these academics and other supporters of that pernicious hate-fest, Israeli Apartheid Week, will vow up and down that they are not racists....

Skippy Stalin to Warren Kinsella: You’re a f&cking fraud
Update: Well Skippy Stalin has decided to de-escalate matters in his battle against smear artist Warren Kinsella in order to protect a woman he cares deeply about. He states the he was motivated by anger which got the better of his judgement. When dealing with a pissant like Warren Kinsella it's a very difficult thing not to want rub Kinsella's face in his own excrement, we have all been there. We should not, any of us, think the lesser of Skippy Stalin.
Do take the time to revisit Paul Wells classic debunking of The Lying Jackal.

1st it was Michael Ignatieff aide Warren Kinsella's racist comments against the Chinese.
Then Warren failed in his efforts at fascist style mob censorship, an effort remarkable for the number of Jew-Baiters, oops sorry "anti-zionists" who gleefully signed on in the hope of censoring Kathy Shaidle, a staunch defender of Israel.
Now Kinsella's bizarre personal vendettas have reached a new low with the $1000.00 bounty on Skippy Stalin.
What will it take for Michael Ignatieff and the Canadian Jewish Congress to distance themselves from what many are speculating is an out of control Warren Kinsella?
Skippy Stalin Kicks Kinsella's Ass....again
Update: See this post for more on Kinsella's twisted personal vendettas.
Michael Ignatieff aide Warren Kinsella, who created an international furor for a tasteless, unprovoked racial smear against an Ottawa Chinese Restaraunt has now launched a public appeal in aid of his latest bizarre personal vendetta. In light of this recent development serious questions are being raised about the mental and emotional stability of Ignatieff's choice.
Warren is "huntin" for Skippy...in fact he offering $1000.00 dollars for anyone who unmasks Skippy's identity. Is this behavior becoming an individual so closely linked to Michael Ignatieff? Is the Jackal breaking the law? Probably no law is being broken but it is unseemly behavior. Only a scumbag like Warren asks others to do their dirty work, that in itself isn't surprising. What is surprising is that Ignatieff keeps this dead weight around.
In reply Skippy Stalin obligingly kicks Kinsella's sorry ass - again. Update - Skippy states that Michael Ignatieff aide Warren Kinsella may have placed an innocent woman in danger.
So you don't have to actually visit lyingjackal.com here's a screenshot of the Jackal enjoining his reader to aid in his effort which, more than anything, highlights Warren's endless desire for self-inflicted public humiliation .

Mercer: Free speech attacked when Saint Mary’s relocated abortion presentation because of protest
KRISTEN LIPSCOMBE Education Reporter Chronicle Herald
A Saint Mary’s philosophy professor says it doesn’t matter that a pro-life speaker compared abortion to the Holocaust during his presentation in Halifax last week. What matters, he says, is that Jojo Ruba’s voice was silenced.
"I don’t want to defend what he said as non-hate speech because I think that’s irrelevant," Mark Mercer said Wednesday. "Even if he was saying ‘Black people suck,’ people who shout him down should be carried away."

Cat-Meat Kinsella Redux - Ignatieff called upon to apologize to China for aides viscious smear of Chinese Restauranteur
The problems arising for Michael Ignatieff continue to mount from his aide Warren "The Lying Jackal" Kinsella's unprovoked attack on an Ottawa Chinese Restaraunt.
Conservative MP Alice Wong is calling on Ignatieff to apologize to China as the smear by Kinsella has gone international. She also recommends Ignatieff dismiss Kinsella, a call echoed by many.
Update: Kinsella Gets Another Flogging
MPP Lisa Macleod to Human Rights Cultist Richard Moon: "I didn't call you in to make accusations and call people liars."
Richard Moon has evidently flipped out of orbit upon his belated realization that most people know the HRC Cabal to be a genuine threat to individual freedom. Moon attacks Ezra and calls HRC critics liars, among other baseless accusations in this National Post report. Essentially Moon has resorted to making stuff up as he goes along, this is par for the course for the human rights cultists. It's no wonder he had to phone in his contribution to the OHRC review - how could anyone keep a straight face spouting his Moon-Shine?
Among his more bizarre pronouncements Moon claims he found no evidence of personal malfeasance by CHRC staff during the course of his research - not surprising, it wasn't part of his mandate. The CHRT transcripts tell a far different tale, one of misleading testimony, evidence tampering and abuse of process.

Ah yes the University, bastion of tolerance and ...Oh screw it, Fascists run our campuses now.
Update from Mark Mercer - Media Release
For Immediate Release
February 9, 2009
University statement regarding Jojo Ruba presentation
The University remains committed to academic freedom, diversity of opinion, and supports open debate in a forum that does not put the personal safety and rights of our community at risk. There is a balance that must be maintained among all of these.
Last Thursday, Feb. 5, protesters tried unsuccessfully to silence guest speaker, Jojo Ruba, who had been invited by Saint Mary’s University students to make a presentation.
Protesters were asked to stop disrupting the event, but after more than an hour and a half, the presentation was relocated to a nearby location. Protesters were given the opportunity to ask questions and debate the speaker’s points, but they chose instead to shout slogans and prevented him from fully presenting.
Relocating the event, though regrettable, allowed the speaker to complete his presentation.
The University is currently reviewing the matter.

More here: John Carpay: Free speech dies a slow death on Canadian campuses
Update: From Mark Mercer St. Marys Professor
"My sources are for the most part second- and third-hand, but, subject to correction as I learn more, here's what happened at the talk Thursday night (and not Friday night, as I first thought): The police arrived a little while after the video on YouTube ends. They ordered the protesters to stop disrupting the talk or face arrest. The protesters left the lecture hall. (They might have continued to mill around, maybe making noise outside the room, but I have no confirmation of this and it seems unlikely that the police would have left already.) After that, Saint Mary's Conflict Resolution Advisor ordered the speaker off campus. Most of the audience followed the speaker to a nearby church where the session continued. So far neither the Conflict Resolution Advisor nor the university has explained why the speaker was ordered off campus. Nor has the university apologized to the speaker, the organizers, the audience, or the university community. In fact, the university has remained totally silent about the thing. Members of the Women's Centre at Saint Mary's think their disruption of the talk was a proper reaction to hateful speech. (They hold that comparing abortion to the Holocaust is to speak hatefully.) It is not clear whether the protesters intended to shut the talk down or just to disrupt it until they were ordered to stop; they are certainly happy, though, that it was shut down. As I said, this account is provisional; I'll correct whatever in it turns out to be inaccurate. Perhaps our president, Colin Dodds, or our academic vice-president, Terry Murphy, will have something to say later. I have no account from anyone who was there, and I don't know how to contact the speaker to get the story from him."
