Paikin on Canadian Jewish leadership
Paikin – the younger one, who I like – has offered up a very thoughtful and very timely piece on the widening chasm within the Canadian Jewish community. It is a must-read.
And not merely because it aligns with what I’ve said myself many times in the past. Paikin’s column is important because too many are afraid to say it out loud – namely, their Canadian “leaders” are mostly reactionaries, closer in outlook to Likud than they are to the people they profess to serve. They’re a propaganda arm of the Conservative Party of Canada, in fact. And, as I’ve also said before, Stephen Harper’s support isn’t for Israel, per se – it’s for Likud.
Do they care? Obviously not. But when a change in government happens – as it always does – they will, they will. They will profoundly regret abandoning the Jewish community’s multi-partisan approach of the past. Like I told UJA a few years back:
Let’s be smart and let’s be strategic. Israel, and Israel’s people, is owed no less.
Warren,
Bibi ain’t necessarily Israel — and it shows.
“Yet other liberal-leaning friends of mine — some of them life-long New Democrats, people without a conservative bone in their bodies — have been voting for Stephen Harper in recent years. ”
As the Savior, aka Justin Trudeau, mingles at Reviving Islamic Spirit – sponsored by IRFAN-Canada who gave $15 million of Canadian charitable donations to groups the CRA labeled as terrorist organizations – an Islamic charity that produced videos that appealed to “all Arab and Muslim nations to join in the struggle against Israel and glorify martyrdom .” One could add such “progressive” voices as Libby Davies and her George Galloway style denunciations of the West, Jews, and of course that great Satan, America. Indeed, the Liberal/Left is putting the National back into Socialism.
Sadly, the Cons are likely the lesser-of-all-evils at this point in time. I suppose we should have know the Trudeaus were clerical-fascists at heart – riding around on motorcycles with German helmets and all. Nothing changes I guess. Should have figured out the NDP were pretty dark at heart too – Tommy Douglas’ masters thesis on eugenics and all.
As one of the great unwashed – that is, non-partisan, non-sectarian, neither Jew or Moslem or any other “special” group – I realize the powers-that-be have totally sold us out. Your multicultural revolution has now become a nightmare of continual micro-terrorism as fanatics perpetually demonize normal, moderate, everyday Canadians.

In the words of my late great father within his Irish wit and I quote;
I do not know,
it may be so,
your story sounds so queer!
go tell your lies,
to other guys,
Your bullshit don’t go here!
