Promoting Jewish Victimhood as a Guise for Victimising Palestinians
Last week the House of Commons unanimously passed a private member’s bill to establish a national Holocaust monument. While it is a good thing to commemorate the suffering of Jews in Europe, it is important to point out that uncritical support for Israel is part of the backdrop.
Edmonton Conservative MP, Tim Uppal, who introduced the private member’s bill, explained last year: “After I had decided on [accepting Minister Peter Kent’s proposal to put forward An Act to Establish a National Holocaust Monument], I ended up going to Israel with the Canada Israel Committee in July. Being there, and learning what I did about the Holocaust and Israel, just made me feel more reassured that this was the right thing to do and get this bill passed.”
Speaking in favour of the bill last week, Winnipeg NDP MP Jim Maloway also connected the planned monument to Israel. “I had the privilege and pleasure of traveling to Israel. … It was a very inspiring visit … I was amazed to see the progress made by Israel in turning deserts into productive lands and cultivating crops in the middle of the desert.”

Jewish Privilege? You're an Anti-Semite!! (Even though they are mostly Europeans)
Just thought I would whack this up here, from the National Post:
Thesis on Jewish 'privilege' rebuked, sparking row
Jenny Peto's 100-page thesis argues that today's Jews of European descent "enjoy white privilege" and maintain a victim identity by participating in "hegemonic" Holocaust remembrance programs such as the March of the Living, during which young Jewish people visit Poland and Israel. The University of Toronto accepted the defended thesis and awarded a master's degree to the 29-year-old, who is an activist associated with the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid group. She's also Jewish and a descendant of Holocaust survivors.
The thesis, entitled The Victimhood of the Powerful: White Jews, Zionism and the Racism of Hegemonic Holocaust Education, describes Israel as an apartheid state.
All I can say is well done Jenny!! Don't let these hypocrites get you down! The zionists are the greatest threat to real Jews worldwide - time to turf them on their petards and fast!

I know it has been a while
Apologies to all who used to frequent my little blog. Life has been a turmoil for quite a while now, yet things are finally starting to enter a normal routine once again. I will endeavour to make some salient posts in the coming weeks, sort of a jumping back into the saddle again.
Doug, thanks for dropping in and asking what was up. It's all good but as you know life throws curve balls at us, and this was one place which got stuck on the back burner so to say.
There is so much to write about, and I will get busy doing so in the near future.
:)
