Some Antisemitism is fine in "human rights" Canada

We all know the wringer that Mark Steyn was recently put though in Canada for making a few true statement about Muslims. What do the same human rights honchos think about antisemitism? The answer to that seems to depend on whether it is Left antisemitism or Right antisemitism. In the report of Left antisemitism we read below, we note that none other than the chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission deliberately ignores it.

She even claims that its gross antisemitism is "contrary to the spirit, if not the letter, of human rights law". The various antisemitic Canadian Rightist guys who have been hounded by the Canadian human rights machine would be astounded to hear that what they said was "not contrary to the letter of human rights law"! If so, why were they fined and otherwise harassed?

"Since the passage 10 years ago of the Safe Streets Act with its strict controls on panhandling, the Street News has become a popular alternative, selling 4,000 copies every two weeks across Toronto. Homeless people pay a nominal fee at various collection points, then sell it for $2 an issue.

But under this guise of charity, it has become the city's most prominent vehicle for hate propaganda, outrageous conspiracy theories, blatant plagiarism and libellous personal attacks, though virtually nothing about the homeless, all published at the whim of a man who lives a two-hour drive away in Ontario's farm belt.

In the past year, the paper has claimed Liberal MP Bob Rae's name was changed from Levine to hide his Jewishness and that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's secret true birthday is the same as Adolf Hitler's, which "looks good on a resume" for "New World Order types."

It has claimed a police officer covered up racist attacks on a shopkeeper, and even the editor admits one article was an illegal incitement to genocide against Jews. Ads are rare to non-existent, and often unpaid. "It's a little left wing," the General said. "Real out there."

Barbara Hall, chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, calls it an "unpleasant rant," full of anti-Semitism and senseless paranoia that is contrary to the spirit, if not the letter, of human rights law. "I don't like it. It's offensive," she said. "I suspect that a large number of people who open it would very quickly do what I did, which is say, 'This is scurrilous stuff ' and throw it away
