I shan’t expound upon the incomprehensible stupidity of the Canadian voting public which just recently reinstated the Liberals after a decade of their inarguable incompetence. What led to their victory, of course, was the pervasive Leftist bias of the people of Canada, those “nice people” convinced that Compassion and Inclusiveness utterly supersede Reason and Morality as the guiding principles of Life. The absurdity of their mindless sentimentality is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the explosion of Anti-Semitism currently on display in this country, which deems itself one of the most tolerant of all the nations on earth!
On Mar. 8, The Free Press, founded by the wonderful Bari Weiss, published a piece citing the rise of anti-Semitic behaviour here in Canada since Hamas’ unprovoked attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. In the war that has ensued, yes, innocent Palestinians have died. But this tragedy is 100% the fault of Hamas, a racist, terrorist group devoted to the extinction of Israel. While anti-Hamas protests are on the rise in Gaza, whose citizens have become increasingly disgusted with the forces shaping their future, here in “progressive” Canada, ironically, it is the Israelis who are being blamed for simply trying to preserve what is in fact the only truly progressive Democracy in the Middle East.
Citing statistics released by Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs, the Free Press article points out that since Oct. of 2023, anti-Semitic demonstrations in Canada have increased by 670%. This includes 1500 such protests in Toronto alone! In March of 2024, hundreds assailed Montreal’s Holocaust Museum chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to the Jews.” Has there been widespread media outrage as a result? Have police forces across the country been used to disperse such mobs? Of course not. Innocent Palestinians are dying! The Jews must be held accountable! Compassion demands it. That the historical facts suggest the Jews to be the victims in this scenario is apparently irrelevant. You see, in the simplistic world-view of the Left, historical facts, the complexities of the human condition, indeed morality itself, no longer matter.
Statistics show that approximately 85% of the Arabs in the West Bank and 99% of those in Gaza are Muslims. As Jordan Peterson has pointed out, but for 2 or 3 countries, every Muslim dominated nation on the planet is a theocratic dictatorship given to values and ideas utterly incompatible with those of the West. No doubt millions of the citizens of those countries, as exemplified by the protests in Gaza, are chafing against the arrogance of their Medieval overlords. The Jews, in their battle with Hamas, are clearly champions of the very values and freedoms to which millions of Muslims aspire! Yet to those obsessed with Inclusiveness, criticism of Islam is just another “phobia” comparable to racism, misogyny, etc..
Thus have we reached the point here in the “progressive” West where it is apparently permissible to chant for the extinction of Israel, but an expression of Hatred to point out that traditional Islam, as more or less typified by Hamas, is intolerant and illiberal to its very core. Inclusiveness precludes defending our Western values! As we’re all the same, we must simply love each other without judgment. Such is the intellectually Null mindset governing political discourse here in brain-dead Canada! It is a mindset that reduces to little more than Monkeys!
