Another anti-Israel boycott fail - groups rally against terror supporters in deceptively-named "Canadians For Peace and Justice in the Middle East"

They call themselves Canadians for Peace and Justice in the Middle East. But they sponsor speakers who advocate for violence and terrorism and who lie about the way Palestinian children are indoctrinated to hate Jews and are incited to murder them.

So much for peace and justice. Frankly, I'm not even sure how many of them are actually Canadians.

Like so many of the pathetic anti-Israel boycotts, the latest attempt by CPJME had the reverse effect and was a catalyst for supporters of Israel to come out and buy the products the haters targeted.

People like Wayne Gretzky's uncle Al and Tahir Gora of the Progressive Muslim Institute Canada were among the many who came out to counter the few sad, reprobate failures that the anti-Israel collection was able to muster in Hamilton this weekend. 

Idiot Line 9 protester gets a hard lesson on the perils of being incredibly stupid in court

These Line 9 protesters add  a whole new depth to the term "imbecile."

They disrupt a court by clapping during proceedings, then when given a warning, seem to think that switching to snapping their fingers in court is an acceptable alternative option.

I kid you not.

One wonders whether these people's behavior is a result of profound ignorance or just brain damage:

"On Tuesday I participated in a show of court support by respectfully clapping as each of my fellow arrestees and friends from Swamp Line 9 were called to the front. After the justice of the peace threatened to clear the court, we switched to the quiet and unobtrusive snapping of our fingers. A police officer, at his own accord, decided to target and arrested one individual. Out of fear for her safety, being locked in a room with two armed and aggressive males without supervision, some of us tried to negotiate her release. Police responded en masse with force.

I was arrested for assault on police, obstruction and disrupting the court."

Ezra meets the Loony Left at Hamilton Line 9 protest

Ezra Levant crashes the Hamilton Line 9 Protest and the results are funny.

You may recognize some familiar faces from the loony left, like our old, and I do mean old friend, Ken Stone.



UPDATE: Ezra's column in the Sun about his coverage of the event is one of the best things he's written

Hamilton Police finally evict illegal Enbridge protesters after letter fro CANACE's Gary McHale threatens legal action

A group of professional protesters have been illegally occupying an Enbridge pumping station in Hamilton, Ontario in opposition to the Gas company's involvement with the Alberta Oil Sands pipeline.

Until today, Hamilton police refused to enforce the law to remove the protesters and actually supported them.

However yesterday, Gary McHale of the rights group CANACE sent a letter to Hamilton police:

..promising that he and his supporters would gather evidence and lay charges using Canada’s Private Prosecution provisions in the Criminal Code, including against police officers who might obstruct the gathering of that evidence:

“Starting next week we will, without notice, appear at the illegal occupation in order to video tape criminal behaviour, which includes mischief, and then file private prosecution charges against the protesters. Apparently these protesters believe they can block people from videotaping them – this, of course, is mischief as ruled by the courts.

“If your officers attempt to interfere in the gathering of evidence they too could be arrested and prosecuted on a charge of obstructing justice. Police cannot aid in criminal behaviour and they cannot interfere with the justice system.

Within 24 hours of receiving McHale's threat, Hamilton police finally acted to enforce the law, clearing the Enbridge site and arresting a number of the protesters.

Of course, the timing could also have had something to do with Enbridge getting a Court injunction yesterday to clear the protesters...

Suspect arrested in murder of Hamilton Head Shop Owner: Iran attributes murder to wave of Canadian Islamophobia

In May of last year, Elham Dashtirahmatabadi, was found critically injured inside High Times — a book, Internet and drug paraphernalia store she owned with her husband at 187 King St. E. — by a police officer who was flagged down by two customers.

Her death from the injuries was ruled a homicide.

A suspect was arrested for this crime recently which, along with the murders of two other Iranian nationals, is attributed by Iran's state-controlled  media as part of  "a new wave of Islamophobia" in Canada.

It's a rather unusual claim, given that the suspects in one of those murders were Arabs, but not atypical of the irrational Iranian press.
