According to that press release, the charge consists mostly of Frank Dimant screaming and screeching:<br /><br /><i>“This sham of a conference, which questions the Jewish State’s very right to exist, promises to be a veritable ‘who’s who’ of anti-Israel propagandists,” said Frank Dimant, B’nai Brith Canada’s Executive Vice President.</i><br /><br />And of course, just examining two-state/one-state solutions questions the Jewish State's right to exist and is, ergo, antisemitic.<br /><br />How much longer do these people think they can hold Canada's foreign policy and public discourse hostage with this intellectual dishonesty?Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-44265570762813699422009-06-15T12:42:07.410-04:002009-06-15T12:42:07.410-04:00It was Bnai Brith and the JDL made the charges.It was Bnai Brith and the JDL made the charges.bigcitylibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081538803991095825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-85486643556714622122009-06-15T12:39:45.862-04:002009-06-15T12:39:45.862-04:00I still can't get beyond anyone not bothering ...I still can't get beyond anyone not bothering to ask Goodyear who exactly made these charges and what was the substance of them?<br /><br />According to <i>Science Insider</i>, this is the closest we come:<br /><br /><i>Conference co-organizer Sharryn Aiken, a law professor at Queen’s, is disappointed that the Jewish community would accuse organizers of promoting “a one-state solution for Israel and Palestine, which will result in obliteration of the Jewish homeland. We’re all academics, with you know, recognized credentials. None of us are ideologues and, speaking for myself, I don’t have any history of activism with the sort of anti-Zionist groups out there.”<br /><br />Aiken, who is Jewish, said she was "deeply offended by these charges because they go to the core of what I care about. … It’s just over the top.”</i><br /><br />Is it just enough now for someone in the "Jewish community" to issue a charge of antisemitism to get entire enterprises to rush around nervously to look for signs of ideological incorrectness?<br /><br />Repulsive. In nazi Germany, this was known as <i>Gleichschaltung</i>. Fuck 'em. Up the <i>tuchus</i>.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-53436597805520094972009-06-15T12:20:18.502-04:002009-06-15T12:20:18.502-04:00A rather large and diverse conference.
