Canadian school bans Israelis because of 'settlements'

A trade school in Canada which banned Israeli applicants due to Israel’s alleged “illegal settlement activity” rescinded the ban on Tuesday following an intervention by B’nai Brith Canada and members of the Canadian Jewish community.

Stav Daron, an Israeli engineering student and amateur carpenter, had hoped to take a course at the Island School of Building Arts (ISBA), located on Gabriola Island in the province of British Columbia. However, when he tried to confirm his registration in January, he was told via email that, “Due to the conflict and illegal settlement activity in the region, we are not accepting applications from Israel.”

B’nai Brith Canada noted in a statement on Tuesday that refusing to provide a service on grounds of race, religion, ancestry or place of origin is prohibited by the British Columbia Human Rights Code.

After receiving a legal letter from B’nai Brith, the school apologized for discriminating against Daron, noting that it had “decided to rescind any restriction placed on accepting students from Israel and apologize for any inconvenience.” …

But they don’t ban Muzzies for all of their murder, mayhem and torture of innocent people. You’ve got off lucky so far, Canada but your time is coming. Might be time to wake up.

He won this battle but what about the war?

How do you think he will be treated at the school?

As we near the tribulation, Antisemitism will grow and grow and grow— you will see outright hostility towards Jews by many nations— and all because of what? They own a dinky little piece of land that is smaller than N.J- Think about that- that is what infuriates the world? a nation that is smaller than N.J? The rest of the world belongs to everyone else- and Israel is just a tiny little sliver- and the world can’t live with that?

All because of the god of this world’s animus towards all humanity, but especially the tribe that the Messiah came out of.

Not only that, but that “little sliver” is to be the location of the Messiah’s throne. It all represents the end of the adversary’s reign.

Yes, we need a BIG wall there!

It is known that al Quaeda terrorists came into American, from Canada and crossed Indian land...before 9/11.

posted this in another thread abotu hte spread of islam all over the world- it ties into the end times I believe-

The following verses talk about destruction from within by a foreign people who refuse to assimilate and obey- “Those who come afterward lack the national spirit to adhere to one another- ie those from the outside refuse to bond with those within- a foreign people infiltrate a nation and refuse ot assimilate- it is this group of outsiders that will severely undermine their host nation’s strength- they will be a thorn in their side

This is precisely what we are witnessing with the masses of ‘refugees’ infiltrating other nations and refusing to assimilate

verse 43 talks about a foreign people mixing with the seed of men- translated from original aramaic, it simply means that these people will co-mingle, but will NOT assimilate- and just as two compounds such as clay and iron are not compatible, neither will be the foreigners and the natives- This is why the description of the feet made of ‘clay and iron’ The clay will weaken the stability of the whole statue

Daniel 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Speaking of Canada” there was an “emergency debate” on the ‘travel ban’ from the terrorist breeding countries in the House of Commons tonight.

MP’s were demanding that Prime Minister Trudeau denounce Trump, but he won’t for the moment.

That’s great, let’s ban Chinese students from class because we don’t like what their nation’s politicians 8,000 miles away are doing. That’s just brilliant policy there.

“Due to the conflict and .....”
A non-sequitur. The conflict does not prevent admission. What they meant to say was: “We hate Jews, and you’re a Jew, so we’re giving your spot to a muzzy.”

Name ONE.

I can think of only one occurrence of a terrorist trying to enter the USA from Canada: Ahmed Ressam on the Coho ferry from Victoria to Port Angeles, where he was caught by US customs.
