Canada: Spying for Israel is a "War Crime"

According to a report in Canada's National Post newspaper yesterday, the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board has decided to reject the immigration request of a man from southern Lebanon due to his past role as a spy for Israel. The man, who allegedly spied on the Hizbullah terrorist organization from 1998 to 1999, sought asylum in Canada after Israeli forces withdrew from southern Lebanon and he was fingered as a Mossad informant by a former superior, putting his life in jeopardy. However, the Canadian IRB decided to deny the unidentified petitioner refugee status on the grounds that he had committed "crimes against peace", "war crimes" or "crimes against humanity".

According to the IRB decision, "there were serious reasons for considering that the claimant had been an accomplice, because of his personal and conscious participation in crimes against humanity committed by Israel and the SLA." According to the decision, the Lebanese man gave Israeli intelligence agents the names of 40 Hizbullah members, informed them of locations used by Hizbullah members, the cars they used and the print shops that produced their materials. The IRB said that captured Hizbullah terrorists would have been mistreated as a result. The National Post's Stewart Bell noted, "Under Canadian law, Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organization because of its involvement in car bombings, hijackings and kidnappings. Despite that, Canadian officials condemned the man, identified only as Mr. X, for his work against the group."

For their decision, Canadian authorities relied on information provided by Human Rights Watch, which accused the Israeli government of being responsible for crimes against humanity, including torture and murder, in southern Lebanon. HRW last accused Israel of committing war crimes in the wake of the IDF's April 2002 counter-terrorist offensive in Jenin, a charge they persisted in making even after backpedaling on charges that Israel had committed a massacre in the city.

According to the Post, the Canadian Jewish Congress is drafting a response to the IRB, complaining that its ruling relied on "distorted" assertions. Ronen Gil-Or, the deputy head of mission at the Israeli embassy said, "Israel did not and has not been involved in any war crimes or crimes against humanity in southern Lebanon or any other place." Hizbullah, the Post noted, continues to fire rockets at northern Israeli towns.

Its amazing how the world's liberals have adopted the anti-Semitism of Adolf Hitler and David Duke

[quidnunc]

It's all very simple, Muslims constitute a significantly larger voting block in Canada than do Jews.

[headsonpikes]

The IRB is a home for Liberal Party apparatchiks.

It is one of many sinecures for the totally corrupt accomplices of the Liberal Government.

Positions on the Board are patronage plums for the better-connected elements of Liberal scum.

Don't travel to or vacation in Canada. They say they are "better than" us.

When my second cousin from England tried to immigrate to Canada he was denied, he worked for British Telecom for most of his life and used to run wire taps and all that spy stuff, he is highly profficient in his field and was offered a position at a telecom company in Canada.

Over the years my family and friends families have realised that this is how Canadian Immigration works, you have to fall into one or more the 4T profile...
T1 = Ta ta's
T2 = Turbin
T3 = Tan
T4 = Terrorist

Remember the figure skating scandal at the Salt Lake City Olympics?

It involved Canadians, Russians, and the corrupt French judge.

If that had happened today, I don't think Americans would have cared about the injustice. We would have said, "You steenkin' weasels work it out amongst yourselves."

What is and isn't a war crime is decided by the winners of wars, not losers, and not weenies sitting on the side lines deciding who to cheer 10 minutes into the 4th quarter.

From another thread:.....

The [Russian May 17-18th against all worldwide U.S.A. targets] massive air, sea and land maneuvers are being conducted in the wake of America's stunning victory over Iraq, a long time client state of Russia.

Canada's radar?

It's not ok to spy for Israel, but it is ok to smuggle pot, cocaine and heroin into the U.S. from Canada.

And Canadians want to know why we want to put a wall up on our northern and southern borders.

"Canadian authorities relied on information provided by Human Rights Watch"

What kind of connections to the Human Rights Watch (HRW) have in relation to the UN, islamics? The HRW was out to lunch for 10 years during Hussein's tyrannical reign. Must be on a permanent coffee break when it comes to focusing on the palis homicide bombing and others acts of terrorism.

now there is no way in hell I can ever visit Canada again

These days its decided by agendized lefties and corrupt Belgian officials.

Yeah, because we all know that absolutely no one ever smuggles automatic weapons, cocaine, heroine, and lord knows what else into Canada from the states.
