Committee hearings signal declaration of pro-Palestine protesters as enemies of the state

Canadian parliament’s “Justice and Human Rights” committee hearings in May exposed politicians’ desperation to crack down on the rebelling pro-Palestine student movement. Timing is key, because Canadian politicians are trying to do this before the rigged, NATO-controlled international legal system gets used against them. The main tools will be the forced invocation of the hate crimes provision of the Criminal Code, using the pro-Israeli IHRA definition of “anti-semitism”, and a push to force the universities to adopt the IHRA definition of “anti-semitism” to “encourage” expulsions.

The leading cast of politicians trying to jail the students, before they get jailed by the international courts themselves, include infamous Zionist politicians Anthony Housefather, Melissa Lantsman, and Marco Mendicino. The most extreme ensemble of Zionist organisations were assembled to establish the pretext, including B’nai Brith, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, and Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center. A noted feature of the “Justice and Human Rights” Committee hearings was the extreme push to make anti-Zionism and the refusal to acknowledge or recognise “Israel” into a “criminal offence”. 

A noted demand by the extreme Zionists was for “no more Laith Marouf”. The Canada Files has a regular series co-hosted by Aidan Jonah and Free Palestine TV’s Executive Director, Laith Marouf, titled “Canada and Palestine: The War on Zionism”.

The politicians at the centre of the “Justice and Human Rights” committee, namely MPs Anthony Housefather and Melissa Lantsman, were tailoring the committee witness invites to only include Zionists and their supporters. No pro-Palestinian guests were invited. There were “neutral” guests, such as the Presidents of the University of Toronto, McGill University (with such a “neutral” President who is begging the police to crack down on their encampment), University of British Columbia, and Concordia University, during the May 27 meeting, in order to make sure that the Presidents were still “filing injunctions” against the encampments, accusing pro-Palestinian protesters of “anti-semitism”, and suspending and expelling protesting students to the Zionist MPs’ satisfaction.  (more...)
