Israel's ambassador: Canada's HRCs "very worrying"

By Ezra Levant on May 8, 2008 8:04 PM | | |

I was watching Mike Duffy's interview with Alan Baker, the Israeli ambassador to Canada. The occasion was the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel, but the subject quickly moved to the malign influence of Muslim radicals in Canadian politics, such as the rowdy, even violent, reception that often greets Israelis, especially on Canadian campuses. As Amb. Baker said, it's positively unCanadian.

Duffy asked him if it was part of the same bullying that Mark Steyn and I face through human rights commissions.

Amb. Baker's answer: "Absolutely. It's very worrying". That comment is at about 4:30 into the clip.

As Jonathan Kay pointed out today, the "official Jews" at the Canadian Jewish Congress are out of touch with many, if not most, real Canadian Jews. Now we know the CJC's censors are out of synch with the values of Israel itself.
