Len Rudner: too stupid to really be Jewish

That's Kathy Shaidle's catch-phrase when a Jew takes it upon himself to single-handedly undo the Hebrew people's most positive stereotype, namely that we're smart.

But why don't you judge for yourself?

Two young students at Carleton University, one Jewish and one not, were attacked the other night by Muslims wielding a machete and shouting at them for being "Zionists".

So we don't have a "hate speech" moment here. We don't have a fake "right not to be offended" moment. We have an assault with a weapon. It's in the Criminal Code, not some politically correct speech code.

And what does Len Rudner, an Official Jew at the Canadian Jewish Congress, Bernie "Burny" Farber's mini-me, have to say about it?

“Maybe we should consider the impact that words can have in accelerating the argument to the point where people feel that this kind of behaviour is acceptable."

What?

So we have an actual crime with an actual weapon. And Rudner is calling for not the enforcement of the criminal code, but more censorship?

But look at the mealy-mouthed coward. He can't even say that. He says "maybe" "we" "should consider" "the impact words can have" in "accelerating the argument".

WTF?

Maybe?

We?

Should consider?

We didn't do anything. Ten thugs did.

Words didn't have an impact. A machete did -- or almost did.

Accelerating the argument? A machete isn't an argument. It isn't speech, even offensive or "hateful" speech. It is a tool of violence.

And Rudner thinks that -- what? more human rights commissions prosecuting more Zionists like Mark Steyn and me? -- would make these thugs "feel" their behaviour was not "acceptable"?

We already have a Criminal Code that tells them this behaviour is not acceptable.

I'm a Jew, and I love being Jewish. But I remember listening to Rudner on CHQR radio in Calgary once, when he was declaring -- on behalf of all Jews -- that Canada's freedom of speech needs to be infringed.

It was the most condescending lecture I have ever heard -- on southern Alberta's biggest radio station.

And -- if you've ever heard Rudner speak -- you know it was delivered with his trademark Elmer Fudd lisp.

I have nothing against people with a speech impediment. Hell, Moses himself had one.

But when you are sending out a spokesman, fraudulently in the name of all Canadian Jews, to tell the massive listenership of CHQR that "the Jews" are against free speech, and "the Jews" are for censorship, why the hell would you choose the most annoying, irritating, grating spokesman around?

Maybe we could call down to central casting and get Fyvush Finkel to do the censorship circuit, perhaps while conspicuously counting some money. That ought to endear the Jews to the general public.

I swear, if I were not a Jew myself, Rudner's appearance on the radio that day could have turned me into an anti-Semite.

I can only imagine how many people listened to him and blamed the whole of the Jews for that one moron's comments.

And now he's at it again.

It's Rudner's human right to be stupid, and I'm all for his freedom of speech through which he advertises his stupidity.

But he does so falsely in my name, and in the name of the rest of our tribe.

Gentle reader, just so you know: Len Rudner and the other buffoons at the Canadian Jewish Congress don't speak for me.

They don't speak for any of the Jews I know.

They don't speak for the Jewish interest.

And they certainly don't speak for the Canadian interest.

I can't even detect what possible interest they're serving, by making utterances such as Rudner's today.

Rudner's boss, Burny, once mused that human rights commissions are the "dumping ground" for failed political hacks.

It's the one thing I can think of where I have ever agreed with Burny.

Well, if the HRCs are a dumping ground for politicians who can't hack it, the CJC is surely a dumping ground for Jewish men like Rudner and Farber who couldn't cut it as doctors or lawyers or accountants or start a business.

They're a shanda for the goyim.
