Liblogs.ca anti-Semitism round-up

Here's a proud Liberal from B.C., and a frequent blogger on Liblogs.ca, who goes by the name of "Mound of Sound".

What's his view on Israel? He says Israeli soldiers deliberately kill women and children, and deliberately killed a Canadian peacekeeper in 2006.

He says Israel has "crosse[d] a line into barbarism." That's not a typo -- Israel is barbaric. Not Hamas terrorists. Israel has committed "brutal excesses". Again, not Hamas, but Israel.

Here's another one. Michael Ignatieff, says this Liberal activist, is

kneeling to pledge unquestioning fealty to Israel.

And this:

Israel has a lot of motives for bombing the hell out of the people of Gaza that have nothing to do with self-defence.

Really? Lots of motives for killing "the people of Gaza"? Let me guess: the Jews need the blood to bake their Passover matzos, right?

This quote is amazing -- not enough Jewish blood being spilt:

You might as well ask yourself how many Israeli soldiers suffered so much as a hangnail during this bombing campaign?

Or calling the Israeli action a "pogrom" -- the Russian word for the group murder of Jews. Hey, why not just call Israel's action a Holocaust?

Here's another B.C. Liberal blogger, who is calling for what seems to be a military intervention to stop Israel. Like other Liberal bloggers, he has condemned Ignatieff's support for Israel, claiming that it makes the Liberals guilty of murder, too. What's the response to his over-the-top posts? Another Liberal blogger, Western Grit, agrees.

And how about James Curran? He keeps digging himself deeper. First came his strange half-apology for claiming that a Czech politician whose great-grandfather was allegedly Jewish couldn't be loyal to the Czech Republic because he was a Jew, and thus he was biased and un-Czech.

(I'm still waiting for Curran to divulge where he got the "fact" that the politicians was 1/8 Jewish -- I assume it was from a neo-Nazi website and is false.)

Curran is now doubling down on his losing hand of ignorance and malice. His new anti-Israel lie is his claim that Israel has only now reestablished a corridor of humanitarian supplies to Gaza. Israel has routinely let in medical supplies. To claim the contrary is a damnable lie, a lie that paints Jews as heartless punishers of civilians. Forget Curran's absence of any mention of Hamas that deliberately jeopardizes Gazan Palestinians -- putting civilians in harm's way is their entire PR strategy, in fact.

And Curran doesn't mention the blockade on the Egyptian border of Gaza. Now why's that? My guess is it's because the Egyptian in charge isn't 1/8 Jewish, so Curran doesn't have an Egyptian to blame on that side.

Curran also says that Israel isn't allowing people in or out. Another damnable lie -- Israel frequently lets out those needing help, such as Arab Christians fleeing anti-Christian punishment at the hands of Hamas theocrats. Curran is probably just too ignorant to know about that -- or that the last batch of Christians to leave to Israel (going to Bethlehem for Christmas) were attacked by Hamas terrorists firing mortar shells. Oh -- and Hamas has brought back crucifixion as a punishment.

I haven't spent a lot of time digging through the muck in Liblogs.ca, but I've found a lot of anti-Israel propaganda, some of which crosses over into full-blown anti-Semitism.

This isn't about whether it's okay to criticize Israeli policy. Of course it is -- Israelis criticize their own government more than anyone else, I think.

This is about whether a legitimate, democratic, free country has the right to defend itself -- rather meekly -- against a sustained attack on it by an avowedly fascist theocratic murdering terrorist group.

These Liberal bloggers would not take the sides of terrorists against any other nation. The only thing that's different here is that it's a Jewish nation that's fighting back. Curran, and his three fellow bloggers too cowardly to use their own names, just don't like Jews, and they're not shy about saying it.

It looks bad on the party of Herb Gray, Irwin Cotler, Jerry Graftein and Bob Kaplan.
