The following is from a Devar Torah of Rav Binyamin Ze’ev Kahane z”tl h”yd.

Parshat Beshalach

 

The Jewish Defence League (JDL)  held a  picket in front of Stephane  Gendron’s office in Huntington Quebec calling for his resignation from his mayoral office in the wake of his offensive commentary against Israel. Subsequent news coverage featured in Canadian Press, Globe and Mail, Barry Morgan Show on CJAD, TVA, Huffington Post, CTV.ca, Cyberpresse and La Nouvelles.

 

January 26, 2012: Gendron issued the following press statement as reported by Global Montreal: “It is important to make the distinction between the government and the individuals who make up the population.” Gendron also issued the following statement to CTV Montreal: “It’s sad to see certain groups distort comments concerning the way in which Israel behaves vis a vis the Palestinians into anti-Semitic comments.”

 

January 27, 2012: Reading from a prepared statement, Gendron made an on-air statement of regret on his Face à Face talk show in an attempt to atone for his past discriminatory comments against Jews and Israel:

 

“Dear Friends,

I have at times broached the subject of the Israel government’s policies. My views have elicited reaction from groups who support Israel. These groups have an inalienable right of freedom of expression that is so valued in Canada and Quebec. Some have interpreted my remark as anti-Semitic. I would like to clarify my remarks so as to eliminate all ambiguity.

Firstly, the Holocaust was an unjustifiable and inexplicable tragedy that one must never trivialize. Second, concerning Israel’s right to exist, my position has always been clear: Yes, the Jews have a right to self-determination as well as the right to a State.

For my part, I have always been in favour of peaceful cohabitation of peoples. That said, as an engaged citizen, I have the right to denounce the manner in which Israel conducts its policies with the regard to the Palestinians. I do not believe that denouncing the abuses of the Israel government is anti-Semitism. No one can deny my right to dream that one day Palestinians and Israelis will live together side by side in peace and security. This was my thinking which, unfortunately, could not be fully expressed in the restricted time frame of this morning show. I am sorry to those I may have offended. This chapter is now closed.”

 

January 27- 31, 2012: Subsequent news coverage about Gendron’s apology appear on CTV Montreal, CBC.ca, Canadian Press, CTV, CJAD, Cyberpresse (see here and here), Prince Arthur Herald, Forward, Jewish Telegraph Agency, JWeekly, Chronicle Herald, Jerusalem Post, and Canadian Jewish News.

 

The Jewish Defence League will continue to work with our supporters in Montreal to confront and expose threats to our community.

Zafar Bangash recently issued the following threat against the Jewish Community of Canada at a speech he gave in Hamilton,  “…if there were an attack on Iran, and obviously the fact that Israel would be involved in it, [the] US would be involved in it, it is quite possible that, you know, members of the Jewish community might be targetted…. We will not want that to happen at all but, you know, you cannot control the emotions of the people.”   

 

It is important to understand the esteem that Bob Rae from the Liberal Party of Canada  has for Zafar Bangash, Bob Rae, Paul Dewar, & Paul Crete Agree: Jew Baiter Zafar Bangash Should Be Responsible For Omar Khadr‘s Reintegration . Zafar Bangash had a recent service to honour the 1979 Iranian Revolution, ShiaTV.net – [Islamic Revolution Anniversary Toronto] Zafar …

 

It is clear that Zafar Bangash and his supporters represent a threat to the safety and security of Jews in Canada.  And the JDL will continue to confront and expose this threat.

In March, Israel Apartheid Week will take place in many cities in Canada.  The JDL will continue to expose and confront this anti Jewish  hatefest.  And we need your help to get the job done right.  Last year we  held Islamic States Apartheid Week with much success.  The JDL  will expand its  actions in Toronto, Montreal and Hamilton.  It is indeed our hope, that major Jewish groups will follow our noble example and do what they get paid to do. Please take note of the following:

 

Disgrace: CIJA & B’nai Brith to participate in panel discussion with NEW ISRAEL FUND

 

 

Here is the link announcing the event and here’s everything you need to know about the anti-zionist kapos of the NIF.

 

The views of Stephane Gendron are not much different than the views of  NIF.  No Jewish Leader should sit down with the NIF.  The NIF should be protested. 

 

There is a lot of work to do and the enemies of Israel are working 24/7. 

 

Join JDL now.

 

With Love of Israel,

‘zofar bangash’ incites VIOLENCE — “if there were an attack on Iran…members of the Jewish community might be targetted.. you know, you cannot control the emotions of the people.”

If Iran attacked, Jews may be singled out for revenge, York Region Islamic leader warns

“Finally, if there were an attack on Iran, and obviously the fact that Israel would be involved in it, [the] US would be involved in it, it is quite possible that, you know, members of the Jewish community might be targetted…. We will not want that to happen at all but, you know, you cannot control the emotions of the people.”

 “He is, though, the former editor of the Crescent International newspaper which after Sept. 11, 2001 did describe Osama Bin Laden as a person who “stands up to the West in the name of Islam” — Toronto Sun, Feb 7^th

 “If the Islamic state does not exist, it becomes the duty of Muslims to strive to establish one.  Since every Muslim is part of the Islamic movement, it is the duty of the leader  to guide it to establish the Islamic state.”  – Zofar Bangash
