FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

TORONTO, January 31, 2014 — B’nai Brith Canada, the country’s senior Jewish human rights organization, has been informed that the Ontario Attorney General (AG) has not consented to the laying of hate crime charges against Mr. Elias Hazineh. Hazineh, who spoke at the Iranian-inspired Al-Quds Day rally at Queen’s Park to an adoring crowd, was caught on video issuing an ultimatum that Israeli Jews either leave Jerusalem or be shot.

“We are disappointed by the decision not to confront hatred on the streets of Toronto,” said Frank Dimant, CEO, B’nai Brith Canada. “It seems that we have sadly grown accustomed to hearing hateful rhetoric spewed at these pro-Iranian-regime, anti-Israel events. As we have noted, Al-Quds Day, a now annual event, is a route by which Canadians are being exposed to the radical and hateful ideologies of the late Ayatollah Khomeini and the banned terrorist group Hezbollah. 

…

Don’t get me wrong – I am a ‘free speech absolutist’.

But, as others keep reminding me, we do have laws on the books in Canada that make ‘incitement to violence’ a criminal offense – and ‘incitement to violence against a group protected on either racial or religious grounds’ is not only a ‘simple’ criminal offense but a ‘hate crime’…

….and, when AT THE SAME TIME incitement to violence against ‘Jews’ becomes acceptable and is not acted upon by ‘the authorities’, our society has stopped being decent….or civilized!!!!

Sad, so sad…
