Israel Apartheid Week to be staged at U of M

From the Free Press.

Jewish leaders are urging their community not to take the bait when organizers of Israel Apartheid Week bring their campaign to the University of Manitoba next week for the first time."We're advising people in our community, don't take the bait, stay home," said Bob Freedman, chief executive officer of the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg. "We will have a few Jewish students there to monitor, not to get into a ruckus."

Israel Apartheid Week has been staged on campuses in Canada, the United States and several other countries in recent years, promoting boycotts of and sanctions against Israel, while accusing it of being an apartheid state. Freedman said organizers of Israel Apartheid Week want to provoke confrontation so they can draw more attention. Not so, said a spokesman for next week's events. Organizers include a coalition of students and academics, said Brian Latour.

"Israeli Apartheid Week is not a 'hate-fest,' " he said. "The goal of IAW is to examine the nature of Israel as an apartheid state and promote the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. Our events do not target Israeli citizens or Jewish people, they are about the Israeli state and its apartheid practices."

did you know that Al Jazeera is coming to Canada? Did you know this was only "allowed" by the Jewish people once it was agreed that Jews would serve on a committee that will govern its news programming?

How fricked up is that?

and they wonder why they have been hated by so many for centuries...

i wonder where miz point is? she should be having hysterical fits and foaming at the mouth reading the two previous posts.

I like this one too!! This is fun!

U of M asked to reconsider allowing Israeli Apartheid Week events

In the online comments, someone quoted this guy.

"The Intifada is the Palestinian's people's war of national liberation. We [Israel] enthusiastically chose to become a colonialist society, ignoring international treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the Occupied Territories, engaging in theft and funding justification for all these activities... we [Israel] established an apartheid regime."
-Michael Ben-Yair, Attorney General of Israel, 1993-1996 (in Ha'aretz)

If you google the quote, you will find it on this Mideastfacts.org page. Truth or lies? Who knows?

At the end of the day. It IS apartheid.

Israel thinks that they are some "God appointed" chosen people and for some reason "deserve" the country more than those of the Muslim faith. As a result they push the Palestinians off to the darkest corners of the country and then control who and what is allowed into Palestine making their lives a living hell.

Palestinians are considered second class citizens by the world because of Israel's influence in North America and Europe.

So really how is this any different than what happened in South Africa?

At the end of the day both Jews and Muslims believe they are descendants of Abraham and originate from the same place and chances are, they are both right. However Jewish Israel just has some bigger brothers willing to keep them on top.

Shame on B’nai Brith Canada for trying to suppress free expression.

Signatories to the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid: parties in dark green, signed but not ratified in light green, non-members in grey.

I find it interesting that some of the most powerful and leading countries of the world did not sign.

I don't know what the details of the contract were...but for so many countries to participate, yet the "powers" abstain? Must be pretty serious.

It would be pretty hard to sign something like that and support Israel at the same time.

I think the world is over due for its next crazy Chairman Mao - Hitler - Stalin type mass murderer. I'm willing to wager this time it will be a Islamic leader. I wonder if the Jews will be the victims again or will it be some other ethnic group?

I know I'm off topic. But these dumb arse protests will lead the world right into another genocidal event.

irans Amehdinijad is the most likely enemy of israel that would dare to attack the zionist entity. im personally torn as to wether or not iran should have nukes. on one hand they could destroy the worlds biggest welfare case, israel. then again they could use them against decent people. maybe iran could be of use in disposing of israel, then destroyed itself by israeli, us supplied, nukes? this could benificial to all humanity. zionism and islamic extremism crushed at the same time.

I don't think I have ever seen a country attack Israel! Usually they get up to 6 countries to attack to keep it fair and balanced.
There are 300 million Arabs surrounding 5 million Jews, hardly a fair number. It would seem to me to keep it fair and balanced there would have to be another 100 million Arabs and Winnipeg anti-semites added to the mix! lol

this just in. zionist org. bnai brith calling students involved with israeli apartheid week "nazis and kkk people". to label people nazis and racists can really hurt them. students may be affected for the rest of their lives. this is terrorism. may they burn in hell for this.

boring

oh mighty israel! may you rule the world! what a joke. israel would cease to exist next week if the us money and military equipment pipeline would be turned off. i had hopes that obama might do this until i seen his choice of cheif of staff, rahm emmanuel. notorious jewish supremacist and member of the extremist and racist zionist group, chabad lubavitch.

Good grief. Take your racist spew to another forum.

This just in. Illiterate racist djh posting about students involved with Israeli apartheid week "nazis and kkk people" without a scintilla of support is a, yawn, twit.

i am not a racist. i am an anti zionist. the bnai brith wants you to believe i am a hate monger. meanwhile they are the supporters of the largest racist entity in the world: israel.

Who (whom?) is Israel racist toward?

you would be surprised gom how much support i have. boring and yawn is merely an attempt to minimize the importance of the message. mark my words, the aspers and their douchebag lawyers and their mindless supporters will not only be banished from this city, but from this country! GOD willing.

gom. israel in 1948 threw out nearly all of palestines non jewish dwellers from their homes. they only allowed the non jewish people who were useful to them to remain. the west bank and gaza absorbed these people, both christian and muslim. this is now known as "ethnic cleansing". hope that answers your question.

I understand there are Palestinian Arabs that are citizens of Israel? That actually live and vote in Isreal. I find it hard to believe their issues with Palestinians are racist based.

I'm not sure the fact they've been fighting over who is rightfully the "owner" of that land makes them a racist state. How many times in history have the Israelites and the Palestinians occupied that land?
