Anti-Israel agitation has come to light in Canada following an alleged machete attack on pro-Israel students in Ottawa last week.

One of the alleged victims, who said he and his friend were subject to derogatory and anti-Semitic slurs during the assault, was a local organizer of B'nai Brith's recent Imagine With Us pro-Israel campus initiative - a movement already banned by York University in Toronto.

Funny how boring little welfare state backwaters tend to get worked up over stuff that doesn’t really concern them.

Rabid anti-Semitism, never far out of fashion, is once again “respectable” after being openly embraced by the current President of the United States and Leader of the Free World.

Amusing the he remains wildly popular with American Jews.

“Amusing the he remains wildly popular with American Jews.”

I think a great many American Jews are apathetic towards their faith, so much that they are pretty close to being agnostics. It’s really a pity, because the Judaic tradition is so very rich and profound, and has greatly influenced Western ideals.

I’m currently reading Antony Beevor’s “D-Day,The Battle for Normandy’’. In conjunction with our troops and the Brits, the heroism, courage and sacrifice of the Canadians is astounding and awe-inspiring. They fought and bled and died along us and our Allies to end Hitlers tyranny and to see this from their grandchildren and great-grandchildren is heart-breaking.

They bring a machete, we bring a chainsaw, a baseball bat, and 6 feet of chain.
