Kurt Nimmo of Another Day in the Empire is among those accused of "
anti-Semitism" by the
Canadian Jewish Congress, B'nai Brith, and the Canadian Human Rights Commission, for failing to endorse the doctrine of Jewish Racial Supremacism and Palestinian Genocide in the Middle East. Nimmo's articles are among 18 deemed "anti-Semitic" that were posted on the
Canada-based Peace, Earth, and Justice web site. (editorial addendum posted by Mark Dankof of BATR News)

In Canada, the Jewish advocacy group
B’nai Brith has been at the forefront of staving off any criticism of Israel, deserved or not. Thus, B’nai Brith has backed a Camosack (colonial designation: Victoria) businessman,
Harry Abrams, who lodged a complaint with the CHRC against the Canada-based
Peace, Earth and Justice News website.
B’nai Brith Canada calls itself “the action arm of the Jewish community.” It claims to believe in fighting anti-Semitism and “promoting human rights and peace throughout the world.”
One wonders about B’nai Brith’s promotion of human rights when it comes to Palestinians. For instance, it opposes the right-of-return for Palestinian refugees saying this would lead to the destruction of the Jewish state. This contradicts B’nai Brith’s statement: “We applaud Israel as a vibrant society that respects the civil, religious and cultural rights of all its citizens.” Given that Arabs are a fifth of Israel’s population, it is disingenuous to declare a respect for all citizens, especially those victims of ethnic cleansing who still live as refugees.
Clearly, B’nai Brith is not interested in human rights for all. It is openly segregationist and only advocating on behalf of Jews. Hence, it attempts to censure facts and views, whether truthful or not, that it considers inflammatory toward public perceptions of Israel.
The CHRC says it has received a complaint against
the Prometheus Institute, which runs PEJ News, that alleges it “is discriminating against person or groups of persons by communicating messages on the Internet that are likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt on the basis of national or ethnic origin, contrary to section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act.”
An investigation is now ongoing into the complaint.
