5 Feet of Fury

Ezra Levant: “What an embarrassment the [Canadian Jewish Congress] has become”

“Essentially they are pleading for Steyn and I as special cases. Is it because I’m a Jew and Steyn sounds like he might be, too? Is it because we’re being sued by Muslim fanatics? Or is it because the CJC is taking some political heat for their support of these illiberal, anti-intellectual commissions, and the CJC’s alliance with Richard Warman, the serial human rights complainant and foul-mouthed, anti-Black, misogynist bigot?”

Offensive and anti-Semitic free speech didn’t kill the Jews during the Holocaust. Murderous men did, and they only did when real rights and freedoms were destroyed — the right to property; the right to life; the right to equality before the law; mobility rights; freedom of religion; freedom of association. Violent acts killed the Jews, not ‘feelings’ of ‘contempt’. How revolting that the official Jews now propose limiting real rights and freedoms in the vain hope that will stop people from feeling ‘hatred’ for them. I’m no anti-Semite, but if I’m anything to go by, the CJC, and the other supporters of these unconstitutional laws are the ones engendering feelings of contempt.”
