If KAIROS aren't a bunch of anti-Israel bigots, then why...

I rather liked KAIROS's old website, because it was so damned honest. They hated Israel with a passion. Just to be fashionable, they talked a bit about Sudan, where 300,000 Darfuris have been murdered. But the only nation that moved KAIROS to call for a mass economic boycott was those damned Jews.

That was fine with the Chretien government and fine with the Martin government and fine with the Liberal Party's porch Jew, Irwin Cotler. They kept giving seven-figure grants of taxpayers dollars to KAIROS, without ever asking why a group that claimed to represent most Canadian Christians needed to beg for alms from Caesar.

It was so easy. Step one: ask for money. Step two: get it. So why not let it all hang out on their website? All of their venom for the Jews.

It really was touching to see KAIROS's surprise -- I think they were truly stunned -- when Stephen Harper's Conservatives cut off their government grant. Like David Dingwall, they felt entitled to their entitlements. They never for a moment thought there was even a chance they wouldn't get their latest $7 million withdrawal from the Bank of Taxpayer.

KAIROS had been immersed in the poisonous culture of Government-Organized Non-Governmental Organizations for so long -- and really, when you're receiving seven figures a year from the government, GONGO is a more honest term than NGO, isn't it? -- that they began to set their moral compass not by their purported Christianity, but by whatever anti-Semitic emanation bubbled up from the United Nations on any given day.

There was something child-like about their reaction to their defunding; it was touching. Imagine learning that your animosity to the Jewish state was no longer in fashion in Ottawa, and that someone was willing to call your unnatural obsession with the Jews by its proper name. And imagine, at that same moment, realizing that you would actually have to raise your money for your anti-Israel vendettas on your own now.

After the initial shock, the reaction was panic. How would they make their massive payroll? Who would bankroll their junkets? So they started to fight back! They asked their friends in the NDP, and the NDP wing of the Parliamentary Press Gallery to fight back for them!

But... there was the small problem of their website, rife with calls for political war against Israel, and links to groups who lacked KAIROS's Canadian sophistication about how to phrase their bigotry in the soothing tones of diplomatic gibberish. About a week ago, one of their more sober friends obviously told them, "maybe you should lose the kauft nicht bei Juden business. Mark Holland isn't the CIDA minister, you know." So down the memory hole went page after page of their propaganda. Nothing to see here!
