Find IDF Soldiers has elicited a significant backlash. But there’s been little discussion of the website’s indictment of the legal exceptionalism given to Israel in Canadian political culture.

Find IDF Soldiers lists 85 Canadians who have fought in the Israeli military. It has been covered by The Jerusalem Post, Ynet, Jewish Onliner, Jewish Press, Israel Hayom, i24, The J, National Post, Jewish Breaking News, Jewish News Syndicate, Jew In The City, Vernon Morning Star, Haaretz and others. A Canadian Jewish News article headlined “Canadian veterans of the IDF profiled by an anti-Israel website are considering a class-action lawsuit” quotes the father of one of those listed who is campaigning to shutter the site. Author of The Wake Up Call: Global Jihad and the Rise of Antisemitism in a World Gone MAD, Israel Ellis told Canadian Jewish News, “‘How do we get this thing shut down as quickly as possible?’ That took me on a bit of a journey,” he said, and was soon contacting ‘every politician I know’—and law enforcement officials, too. ‘Many people were talking, and by the morning the site was shut down.’”

The reaction to the site, which is back up, is another example of the authoritarian tendency of Zionism. If it bothers their genocidal, supremacist, sensibilities it must be illegal and shuttered.

But there’s a far stronger legal case to be made against those named on Find IDF Soldiers and those who induce Canadians to join the Israeli military. Canada’s Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act states, “Every person who, either before or after the coming into force of this section, commits outside Canada (a) genocide, (b) a crime against humanity, or (c) a war crime, is guilty of an indictable offence and may be prosecuted for that offence.”  (more...)
