Ik heb oprecht moeite dit te geloven: in een beschaafd westers land, een land waar dacht ik behalve de zeehondenjacht weinig op aan te merken valt, worden zionisten (een van de twee studenten is niet Joods) met een machete bedreigd. Hoe ver zit Nederland daar nog van af?
"We have been warning about the spill-over effect of anti-Israel hate-fests such as 'Israeli Apartheid Week' for years. We reiterate our call to university administrations across Canada to ban anti-Israel agitation from their campuses. We simply cannot continue to put up with the situation where antisemitic hate-fests such as Israel Apartheid Week are permitted to disseminate their hatred, leading to pro-Israel students being assaulted on our streets, while events in support of the Jewish State are banned."
Het verband met anti-Israel agitatie lijkt me evident, zoals ook de totaal eenzijdige berichtgeving tijdens bijvoorbeeld de Gaza oorlog heeft bijgedragen aan een klimaat waarin Joodse symbolen werden aangevallen en Joden bedreigd. Overigens kunnen Joden in Nederland al jaren niet meer overal met een keppel op lopen. Dit is vergelijkbaar met dat moslima's met een hoofddoek niet door 'witte' wijken zouden kunnen lopen omdat ze dan zouden worden lastig gevallen.
Als de Gretta's en hun aanhang de toon in Nederland gaan bepalen, als de media van harte meewerken aan een beeld van Israel als wrede agressor en de Palestijnen als hulpeloos slachtoffer, als antisemitische columns en comments in discussies op internet normaal worden, dan hou ik mijn hart vast.

Machete attack by 'anti-Zionists' - an example of free debate at universities?
http://news.zionism-israel.com/2010/04/machete-attack-by-anti-zionists-example.html
This Bnai Brith Canada press release is symptomatic of the growing campus tension, which is evidently organized by Muslim Student Union groups. Earlier, it was reported that the UC Irvine MSU had planned and organized the disruption of Ambassador Oren's talk there (See MSU planned wrecking of Ambassador Oren's speech at UC Irvine) . Blonde Zionist Jewish Chick was one of the first to publicize this release, but it even got into Rob Kall's Op-Ed news, which is generally more likely to publish articles proving that the Mossad was behind the Mumbai terror attacks.
Where will it lead? Is anyone going to recognize organized hate for what it is and put a stop to it, or will the wave of hate generated by a determined and apparently well-funded minority continue to mount? Will we soon see clashes of the type common in the last days of the Weimar Republic? Will there be a Muslim Horst Wessel, and a Muslim Horst Wessel Lied? ("Comrades who were shot by the Red Front and reactionaries march in spirit in the midst of our ranks").
TORONTO, April 7, 2010 – B'nai Brith Canada has called on Canadian universities to ban anti-Israel agitation on campus in light of an alleged machete attack on pro-Israel students. Reportedly, on April 5th, two Ottawa students, both well-known for their pro-Israel views, were assaulted when they left a local lounge in the early hours of the morning, by a large group of anti-Israel agitators, one of whom was wielding a machete.
"It is simply outrageous that pro-Israel students have been assaulted in our nation's capital for nothing more than their pro-Israel views," said Frank Dimant, Executive Vice President of B'nai Brith Canada. "One of the assaulted students, who is not Jewish, was reportedly first struck in the back of the head, and then chased with a machete swinging within inches of his neck. The Jewish student, who along with his friend was called numerous derogatory and antisemitic slurs during the assault, was a local organizer of B'nai Brith's recent Imagine With Us pro-Israel campus initiative – an initiative which was banned by York University.
"We have been warning about the spill-over effect of anti-Israel hate-fests such as 'Israeli Apartheid Week' for years. We reiterate our call to university administrations across Canada to ban anti-Israel agitation from their campuses. We simply cannot continue to put up with the situation where antisemitic hate-fests such as Israel Apartheid Week are permitted to disseminate their hatred, leading to pro-Israel students being assaulted on our streets, while events in support of the Jewish State are banned."
B'nai Brith Canada has been active in Canada since 1875 as the Jewish community's foremost human rights agency
