Anti-Israel Backlash by Canadian Minister - Breaking Israel News

Anti-Israel Backlash by Canadian Minister!

Click here to watch: Anti-Israel Backlash by Canadian Minister! The fact is very clear, anti-Israel/BDS activities are clear forms of anti-Semitism! After Actress Scarlett Johansson stepped down as Oxfam's ambassador over her advertisement with Israeli company SodaStream, a company Oxfam boycotts, Canadian Employment Minister Jason Kenney said their move spurred him to buy from SodaStream. Appearing on Canadian Sun News last week, Kenney quipped "I've given money to Oxfam in the past because I thought they were there to help poor people, not to marginalize Israelis and make Palestinians unemployed." He added that "all the nutters at Oxfam" also marginalize "Palestinian people" who get paid four times more at SodaStream than they would within Palestinian Authority-controlled areas. WATCH HERE Kenney bashed the "anti-Israel obsession" with which leftist groups pursue Israel, even while they ignore countries like Iran which executes political dissidents and homosexuals. Remarking on Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's recent visit to Israel, Kenny remarked "we felt at home in Israel" due to the shared values of freedom and democracy between Israel and Canada.

Canada's Harper: Why Single Out Israel for Criticism? - ISRAEL TODAY

Canada's Harper: Why Single Out Israel for Criticism?

Visiting Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Tuesday wondered why people keep trying to get him to single out Israel for criticism, while ignoring differences his government might have with nearly every other country.

During a joint press briefing with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Harper was asked by Israeli media why he had failed to publicly condemn Jewish "settlement activity" in Judea and Samaria.

"When I’m in Israel I’m asked to single out Israel, when I’m in the Palestinian Authority I’m asked to single out Israel, and half the other places around the world you ask me to single out Israel," Harper responded, wondering why when he visited Ramallah a day earlier "no one asked me there to single out the Palestinian Authority for any criticism in terms of governance or human rights or anything else."

Harper went on to point out that Canada's readily available official policy opposes Jewish settlements, and that he is not constrained in expressing his government's differences with Israel when meeting with Netanyahu. But, Harper suggested, he sees no reason to make a public show of it.

When addressing the Knesset earlier in the day, Harper said he knew why exaggerated criticism of Israel had become so popular in the world today - it is the new haven for those who would in generations past have been labeled as anti-Semites.

"People who would never say they hate and blame the Jews for their own failings or the problems of the world, instead declare their hatred of Israel and blame the only Jewish state for the problems of the Middle East," he told Israel's gathered lawmakers. "...this is the face of the new anti-Semitism. It targets the Jewish people by targeting Israel."

Netanyahu also addressed the settlement question, reminding those present that "this conflict raged for half a century before there was a single Israeli settlement or Israeli soldier in Judea, Samaria and Gaza."

He reiterated that, as such, it was wrong to view the presence of Jewish communities as the "core of the conflict," a notion the Canadian government seems to grasp.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper got a taste of the robustness of Israeli democracy on Monday, as he was heckled by Israeli Arab MKs during a speech at the Knesset.

As Harper condemned anti-Israel boycott efforts and denounced those who call Israel an apartheid state, two Israeli Arab MKs shouted at him and walked out.

Ra'am Ta'al MK Ahmad Tibi shouted that the boycott efforts were against Israeli settlements and that Harper should be sitting on the Likud benches in the Knesset. A second Ra'am Ta'al MK, Talab Abu Arar, called on Harper to speak about alleged racism against Bedouin citizens of Israel. After their outbursts, the two MKs walked out of the Knesset chamber. Harper then received a standing ovation from other MKs.

"I believe the story of Israel is a great example to the world," Harper said.

"It is a story, essentially, of a people whose response to suffering has been to move beyond resentment and build a most extraordinary society, a vibrant democracy, a freedom-loving country with an independent and rights-affirming judiciary, an innovative, world-leading 'start-up' nation.

"You have taken the collective memory of death and persecution to build an optimistic, forward-looking society, one that so values life you will sometimes release a thousand criminals and terrorists to save one of your own. In the democratic family of nations, Israel represents values which our government takes as articles of faith and principles to drive our own national life. And therefore, through fire and water, Canada will stand with you."

Harper spoke out strongly against anti-Semitism disguised as criticism of Israel.

"We live in a world where that kind of moral relativism today runs rampant," Harper said.

"And in the garden of such moral relativism, the seeds of a much more sinister notion can be easily planted. And so we have witnessed in recent years the mutation of the old disease of anti-Semitism and the emergence of a new strain.

"We all know about the old anti-Semitism. It was crude and ignorant, and it led to the horrors of the death camps. Of course, in many dark corners, it is still with us. But, in much of the western world, the old hatred has been translated into more sophisticated language for use in polite society. People who would never say they hate and blame the Jews for their own failings or the problems of the world, instead declare their hatred of Israel and blame the only Jewish state for the problems of the Middle East.

"As once Jewish businesses were boycotted, some civil society leaders today call for a boycott of Israel. On some campuses, intellectualized arguments against Israeli policies thinly mask underlying realities, such as the shunning of Israeli academics and the harassment of Jewish students.

"Most disgracefully of all, some openly call Israel an apartheid state. Now think about that statement. Think about the twisted logic and outright malice behind that. A state, based on freedom, democracy and the rule of law, founded so that Jews can flourish as Jews and seek shelter from the shadow of the worst racist experiment in history."

Harper said Israel "is condemned in the masked language of anti-racism."

"Friends, that is nothing short of sickening," Harper said. "But, this is the face of the new anti-Semitism. It targets the Jewish people by targeting Israel and attempts to make the old bigotry acceptable to a new generation."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also addressed the Knesset on Monday, welcoming Harper and thanking him for his support of Israel. Netanyahu spoke about Harper's visit to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem after his arrival in Israel on Sunday.

"This is the Jerusalem that has been the eternal capital of the Jewish people since the time of King David, 3,000 years ago," Netanyahu said.

"There are those in the international community who try to refute our connection to Jerusalem and our land, but not you. You are well familiar with the facts, past as well as present. I want to tell you, members of the Knesset, that there are others in the international community who also know the facts. But unlike the others, Stephen, you have the courage to stand up for the truth, and you have the courage to say the truth.

"In this visit, we are discussing ways to further enhance the ties between us, as cooperating with each other helps make both countries stronger, more prosperous, more progressive. I hope that the day comes that we will find partners here in the Middle East who share our vision, many partners. I hope that the parliaments will cooperate; I hope that there will be real parliaments.

"For example, let's look at Syria. Here in the [Knesset], as you have seen, Stephen, anyone can speak their mind. They can stand up, talk, yell, irritate. But these are not things that can be done in Damascus. Only here in Israel do we have freedom. I must say that I have not found that our friends, Israeli Arabs, want to take leave of Israel. They all want to be here, and justly so. I understand them."

Earlier on Monday, Harper met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah. A Palestinian official told Israel Hayom that the meeting was somewhat tense, due to Harper's unflinching support for Israel. According to the official, Abbas and Harper discussed the possibility of Canada taking part in a solution for the Palestinian refugee issue. However, Harper said that, as of now, Canada has not been asked to take in Palestinian refugees.

"We obviously understand the various challenges that Palestinians face," Harper said. "That's why again today, and obviously over a long period of time, the government of Canada has supported Palestinians in critical areas: humanitarian aid, political development, security development, peace process, and we will continue to do so. 

Canada is a strong supporter of the peace process. Our position is not an Israeli position or a Palestinian position, it's a Canadian position of principle, supported by the overall majority of Canadians and at its heart is our belief that the critical issues must be resolved through negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians themselves."

Standing ovation for Harper's speech to the Knesset

Before meeting with Abbas, Harper toured the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

On Tuesday morning, Harper met with President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Ron Prosor told the U.N. Security Council on Monday that Palestinian incitement against Israel poses a major obstacle to peace.

"From cradles to kindergartens and from schools to soccer stadiums, Palestinian children are besieged by messages of hate," Prosor said.

"They are born in hospitals named after violent Palestinian groups, attend schools named after terrorists, and are taught from textbooks that describe Zionism as racism.

"The Palestinian leadership has yet to learn that real peace requires real commitment. You cannot condemn terrorism to international media and congratulate terrorists on Palestinian media. You cannot victimize others and then insist you are the victim."

CBN News - Hungary Sliding Back to Nazi-Era Anti-Semitism?

Hungary Sliding Back to Nazi-Era Anti-Semitism?

By Dale Hurd, CBN News Sr. Reporter Monday, December 16, 2013

Ad Feedback

BUDAPEST, Hungary - The Shoes on the Danube is a memorial to Budapest's Jews who were rounded up during World War II and told to take off their shoes before being shot and pushed into the Danube.

Today, Hungary's Jews are fearful again because of a return of anti-Semitism.

Hungary has been going backwards economically since before the financial crisis of 2008. Old scapegoats have come back to life in a nation that was flattened by globalization: foreigners, bankers, and Jews.

Tapping Into the Psyche

Hungarian political ads are tapping straight into the Hungarian psyche.

One shows ordinary Hungarians saying:

"More and more installments we have to pay. Are banks allowed to do what they want? While we keep working they just steal. Are political criminals allowed to do what they want? I'm already afraid to go into the streets. Are Gypsy criminals allowed to do what they want? There are no Hungarian products on the shelves. Are multis (multinational corporations) allowed to do what they want? We've had enough of parasitism. If you have too, vote for Jobbik on Oct. 3."

Jobbik is now the third largest party in Hungary and some say a possible longshot to rule the country in a coalition government someday.

Far-right racist parties are fairly common in Eastern Europe. But Jobbik is different. It's stronger, better organized and offering solutions to real problems that Hungarians face - even if some are the wrong solutions and their bogeyman is an American-Israeli conspiracy.

Feeling the Anti-Semitism

Budapest Rabbi Schlomo Koves said Jews can now feel the anti-Semitism in the street, although physical attacks on Jews are rare.

"There's a joke in Hungary in which someone comes to a village and he asks, is there anti-Semitism here? And the other guy answers, 'No, but there's a great need for it,'" he told CBN News.

"When society is not in a good state, when people have a hard time making a living, all these extreme ideas can come back," he said.

One Jobbik member of parliament has called for a list to be drawn up of all the Jews in government because he deems them to be a security threat.

"They consider the entire Jewish community as the agents of America and Israel," Pal Steiner, A Hungarian Jew and member of parliament, said.

"They say that through the Hungarian Jewish community, Israel and America are turning Hungary into a colony," he said.

Steiner lost half of his relatives in the Holocaust and now, 70 years later, he is receiving death threats. He says anti-Semitism isn't returning to Hungary - it never left.

"It's clear that Jobbik's basic principles are very similar to the Nazis, especially considering the so-called 'Jewish problem,'" he said. "And I need to stress that there is a part of Hungarian society that has a secret sympathy towards Jobbik."

A Sicker Society?

Miklos Horthy ruled Hungary during World War II when it was a Nazi ally. Last month Horthy returned to a place of honor in Budapest when a bust of him was unveiled at a church. Opponents demonstrated by wearing yellow stars.

Jobbik once started a militia - the Magyar Garda - but it was outlawed. Jobbik claims it was a service organization but it looked like Arrow Cross, a Nazi-era party that killed thousands of Jews.

It's now very dangerous for Hungary's Gypsies, who have higher than average rates of criminal acts and are hated more than Jews.

CBN News asked one of Hungary's leading political consultants, Viktor Szigetvári, if Hungarian society is getting healthier, or getting sicker. He told us,

"Sadly, I have to say sicker because of growing intolerance, because of growing poverty," he said.

Could Jobbik end up in a governing coalition someday as some predict, or is it too politically radioactive for other parties?

"They are radioactive, but it is possible we might have a minority government formed after the 2014 general elections and it will be interesting to see what role Jobbik will play," Szigetvári said. "I believe (Jobbik as part of ruling coalition) is a no-go area; not in Hungary, not in Europe."

Jobbik leaders turned down our request for an interview.

"We do not want to help you on the issue of anti-Semitism," they said in a written statement. "Jobbik is dealing with much more important problems right now: the sellout of soil to foreigners and to oligarchs close to the government, the corruption scandals, the chaos in education and the catastrophic state of public safety."

Poisoning the Population

Jobbik repeatedly denies that it is anti-Semitic. On its English-language website it seems to disavow some of the positions that its leaders have spouted publicly.

They say they do not deny the Holocaust but they also do not like Israel.

CBN News spoke with one former Jobbik member from a rural area who said he never heard talk of anti-Semitism at Jobbik meetings he attended. But we also interviewed a former Jobbik leader who had to leave the party when he discovered he was a Jew.

"The problem is there are clever people in Jobbik," Hungarian Journalist Ferenc Szlazsánszky, with channel ATV, said. "It's a two-faced party - what they say amongst themselves and what they say in front of the public."

"The other problem is they are inciting hatred," he added. "They are poisoning the population in Hungary."

Steiner and others told CBN News that Jobbik should be considered "very dangerous."

And even if Jobbik never rules Hungary, critics say it's a legally elected party spreading dangerous ideas.

But many, Jobbik seems to be only a symptom in a nation that is still clinging to old-fashioned anti-Semitism.
