TORONTO (CP) - Reports of anti-Semitism hit an all-time high in Canada last year, a shameful "crisis" that must be resolved by non-Jews, BMO Financial Group's chief executive said Thursday. . . . "That is why we founded FAST [Fighting Anti-Semitism Together] ... as one way of crying: Enough! And why we recruited an all-star cast of non-Jewish Canadian business leaders," Comper said, citing what he called a record 857 reported incidents of anti-Semitism in Canada in 2004. The seminal incident for Comper was news coverage of anti-Semitic attacks in Toronto, saying he was struck by the "tepid" community response that followed.All hail the private sector.
RELATED: I wrote several posts about the severely underattended Muslims Against Terrorism rally in Washington DC last month. Joel Mowbray highlighted the march in a nationally syndicated column:
For participation in the rally, Nawash set a very low threshold: opposing terrorism. (Almost every speaker, though, was careful to condemn Islamic terrorism, and not just terrorism in the abstract.) By his own account, and by that of others, Nawash actively tried to enlist the support of other Muslim groups—but to no avail. Nawash most likely realized that no matter how low he set the bar, none of his counter-parts would endorse an event sponsored by a Muslim who unequivocally denounces Islamic terrorism and just as enthusiastically supports free societies for Muslims everywhere.Read the whole thing for more on the Muslim groups which boycotted the rally and badmouth the Free Muslims organization.
. . . Nawash has clearly taken his lumps from the supposed moderate Muslim leaders, but that’s not to say he’s without a following. But think in the mode of the “silent majority,” although in Nawash’s case, sadly, it’s almost certainly the “silent plurality”—for now.
Common are e-mails and phone calls to Nawash where Muslims tell him how important his message is, and how glad they are to finally have a Muslim leader delivering it. But most still won’t side with Nawash publicly, which partly helps explain the rally’s modest turnout of roughly 150-200. Yet the rally was attended by several respected Muslim leaders, who gained a much wider audience with the rally’s repeated airings on C-SPAN.

Anyway, how many in the "modest turnout" were really Zionist Jews?
I am always concerned, lulei demistafina, that we have defined-down anti-Semitism. Toppling over tombstones and spraypainting swastikas on Synagogues is vandalism and wrong. It is certainly not done by Jew-lovers. But it's not anti-Semitism on par with r"l pogroms and limitation of rights.
It's good to be vocal against racism and promote the unity of mankind... can't we all just get along?

Hi. My name is Eugene Gershin. I'd like to welcome you to Obadiah Shoher's blog, Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict.
Obadiah is a pen name of a politician. He writes extremely controversial articles about Israel, the Middle East politics, and terrorism.

Boats Sail On The Rivers
(1)
Boats sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky,
Are prettier far than these.
(2)
There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.
