The Trudeau Government’s Fake Fight Against Antisemitism- Part 37

By way of introduction, Nabil Nassar, is the Secretary of Canada’s Fatah Movement, the political party that rules the Palestinian Authority. He is formally referred to as The Permanent Representative of Palestine to Canada. He was appointed to the post in 2020. As to be expected, Nassar is known to have repeatedly praised terrorists on social media, including a post in 2020 expressing support for Ali Hassan Salami, the mastermind behind the 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. He also lauded Dalal al-Mughrabi, who participated in the murder of 37 Israelis, including 12 children, in a terrorist attack on a passenger bus in 1978 as the “epitome of the Palestinian woman…a symbol of resistance and pride”.

Elizabeth May must know Nassar well. On an online video recording at the Solidarity event, May, standing in front of a Canadian and a Palestinian Flag, dressed in a keffiyeh as well as a Palestinian scarf, is reported to have stated: ”I take my marching orders from the Permanent representative of Palestine to Canada.” Avi Abraham Benlolo, The Abraham Global Peace Initiative, December 2, 202

An alternative account of the statement that has also been reported is “I take my marching orders from the official representative of Palestine to Canada” Christine Douglass-Williams, Jihad Watch, December, 2022

This makes her a foreign agent. Since she admittedly does not take her marching orders from the electorate or from the party members, May ought to be forced to resign her seat and required to register in the proposed Foreign Agent Registry which the government is currently considering to establish at the urging, among others, of “ a coalition of groups and individuals… over a common concern [with] the danger of malign foreign influence over Canadian society, institutions and democracy” B’nai Brith Advocacy, Letter to  Hon. Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety, November 3, 2022

To make matters worse, Green works with co-Leader Jonathan Pedneault who stands by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch Reports that describe the Israeli practices against Palestinians as “apartheid” despite the weight of the evidence to the contrary.

Speaking of apartheid, I submit that if the pre- Mandela governments treated the aboriginal population  of the country, the way Israel treats its Arab citizens, the term “apartheid” would have  become  a term connoting  the civilised  democratic  treatment of the minorities of a country. 

Bloc Québécois

Responding to a challenge from B’nai Brith, which informed Bloc leader Yves François Blanchet that many in the Jewish community believe the Bloc will not speak against antisemitism and too often takes anti-Israel positions, the Block leader said he wished to clear up any misconception about his party.

On March 15, 2022 Blanchet advised B’nai Brith that the Bloc ’unconditionally’ adheres to the IHRA working definition.” Blanchet’s letter noted the Bloc’s strong support for the Quebec National Assembly resolution of May 26, 2021 which vigorously   condemned violence targeting Jews during the Israeli-Hamas conflict of that month”.

MPs of multiple parties-the Inter-Parliamentary Union

The Canadian Parliament is one among 176 countries that form the Inter-Parliamentary Union.  In 2020, the Union’s  Committee of Human Rights requested the Israeli government to  release forthwith  the terrorists incarcerated in its penitentiaries including Marwan Barghouti and  Ahmad Saadat who while sitting on the Palestinian Parliament organised the killing of Israeli Jews and were convicted of multiple murders  perpetrated by the  former  and one by  the latter. 

The Committee expressed its major preoccupation with the fact that Barghouti already served 16 years of his life sentences without any hope of regaining his freedom and alleged that he did not have a fair trial and his convictions were not lawful.

Needless to say, there is no evidence, let alone reliable evidence, to substantiate the allegation about Barghouti’s trial and the Inter-Parliamentary Union’s statement adduced none. 

Insofar as Saadat is concerned, the Committee accused Israel of failing to provide him with  the medical care which he needed and not allowing him to have visitors. Again, the allegation is made without substantiating reliable evidence.

Who then were the Canadian Parliamentarians who signed the letter? They did so, without bothering to verify the validity and reliability of the allegations in the letter and at all events without objecting publicly to its serious shortcomings.
