Canada criminalizes criticism of Israel: Analyst
The pro-Israel Canadian government is modifying the country’s criminal code to ban any criticism of the Zionist regime for atrocities against Palestinians, an analyst says.In a column for Press TV website, Brandon Martinez has analyzed the proposed cyber-bullying law (Bill C-13) by the administration of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
“The Zionist ruling clique of Canada, through their front-man Stephen Harper, is seeking to beef up the already-existing Orwellian ‘hate propaganda’ law, which has been primarily used to curtail criticism of Zionists and Israel,” wrote Martinez.
He said Canada’s criminal code is to ban criticism or promotion of “hatred” against people distinguished by “national origin.”
“This means, say, if you condemn Israelis for their inhumane treatment of Palestinians, you could find yourself in court facing down the self-appointed thought police and commissars of political correctness,” wrote Martinez.
He singled out the case of German-Canadian publisher, Ernst Zundel, who has been facing court and jail due to his criticism of Zionists who are “the self-appointed architects of public discourse, the self-declared arbiters of truth and morality.”
The analyst said the Canadian police have refused to provide any protection to Zundel, whose Toronto home has been “torched by Zionist terrorists.”
“Zundel’s story is a testament to the power and control of Jewish extremists in Canada,” wrote Martinez.
Harper is under criticism for its violations of the rights of indigenous peoples in Canada.
Many native Canadians remain among the poorest members of the Canadian society, with most of them suffering poor educational, economic and social conditions.

Harper will lose the next election and his party will hopefully have the same fate as Tories did when Brian Mulroney lost the election in 1993 reducing Tories 151 seats to two, hence losing their official Party status. Harper is much worse than Mulroney was and deserves a bigger loss.From this poster's lips to God's ears!!!
So Canadians are now supposed to turn a blind eye to what they believe is injustice at the hands of a State? Citizens of a free & democratic society should not be intimidated from speaking up or speaking out against inhumane actions of any country, ...but hey, we can still criticize Russia & North Korea.
That sneaky SOB tried to slip in thought crime legislation in a Cyberbullying bill, that mentions Cyberbullying as an afterthought, ...and in an attempt to bring back Bill C-30 which the government said they would not.
This is pure bull$#|T!!!
