Pro-terror sympathies undermine respect
for Canadian law

says B’nai Brith Canada
TORONTO, August 15, 2006 –
B’nai Brith Canada has reiterated its concern
over the increasingly open displays of sympathy
for terrorist groups on our city streets. Virulently
anti-Israel manifestations such as this weekend’s
burning of an Israeli flag by cheering crowds
at a supposedly pro-peace rally held in Toronto,
should be taken as a precursor of future
extremist activity if left unchecked, says the
Jewish human rights group.
“We have noted an alarming trend whereby
elements within Canadian society are openly
challenging Canadian law to express support
for terrorist groups like Hezbollah that are
banned in this country,” said Frank Dimant,
Executive Vice President of B’nai Brith Canada.
“We are concerned by the statement of
Ali Mallah, Vice-President of the Canadian
Arab Federation – Ontario Region, who has
expressed open defiance for Canada’s laws
by challenging the government’s ban of Hezbollah.
He did so in a very public venue on a popular
Toronto radio program, apparently without
considering the implications of the terrorism that
he appeared to be condoning. We also heard last
week the joint statement by the Islamic Supreme
Council of Canada and the group
Muslims Against Terrorism, which in one breath
condemned the alleged terrorism plot discovered
by UK authorities, while at the same time
characterizing it as a trumped-up plot to deflect
attention away from events in Lebanon. The groups
alleged that the plot was dreamt up by ‘Neo Cons’,
which is often used as code for Jews.
“We have requested an urgent meeting with
Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant, Toronto
Police Chief Bill Blair as well as relevant federal
authorities. We are recommending that loopholes
in the existing anti-terrorism legislation be closed to
prohibit the kind of glorification of terrorism that we
are currently seeing. Such pro-terror sympathies
must be addressed immediately, lest Canada’s
multicultural values of tolerance and respect be
eroded.” No Tags
