Ok all you Israeli loving individuals...
I just reviewed this list. Canada's terrorist entity list...
Link
I have read and concur with the descriptions of activities. Applied to each organization. Those I did not know, I googled and read more about, then the Gov't listed.
What I want to know is, should Canada allow representatives of these groups ie, financial backers, fundraisers or advocates of these groups to enter Canada?
I'm not talking about someone that speaks on their behalf. Not anyone or any entity that would rail for their right to exist or petition the Gov't to have them removed from the this list.
I'm talking about, openly financing, supporting the criminal acts of, or otherwise perpetuating violence created by these groups.
Now before the half wits start throwing out "Shrub" or any other US or Canadian politician. Try and be rational if you can.
In Galloway's case, he didn't just express his support for Hamas. Beyond offering financial aid to them. He has actually expressed appreciation for the violence they have caused. In calling act of murder in the act of 'suicide bombings' by Hamas "Military Heroism".
I hate to break the news to all you left wing-nuts. That's supporting and perpetuating violence.
Under the free speech laws of most democratic Nations, that is a violation of law. And rightly so.
If you wish to stand on your soap box, and call Israel a puddle of mud people, not worthy of our spittle. And demand the UN to take action, or demand that our respective nations deam them a terrorist nation. By all means.
But when you breach that boundary between critical disent and support acts of violence. You cease to be simply exercising your right to free speech, and are now acting as an agent of crimial activities.
No amount of your simple minded accusations of "Jackbooted Neo Con" and irrationalities about stifling free speech, will change the simple fact. That under a democracy, words can be used to mold and change things in a very positive and enlightened way. In fact, I believe as do many others of my ilk. That free speech is the corner stone to democracy and without it, you have nothing. For nothing and no one is accountable, if there is no voice among the people to show discord among the masses. With this belief, I must swallow the right of groups like NAMBLA and people who call my brothers in arms "Baby killers". To speak and promote their phylosophy. And I would defend that right on to my death. But I will not and can not support those that would use the gift of free speech to promote hatred and violence.
To congradualate, perpetuate, promote or condone violence of the most cowardly kind. Is not free speech. It is hatred.
If an Israeli were to stand up and call to all of Israel to rise up and drive the Arabs into the ocean and hold fast until the bubble stopped rising. That would be hate speech. It's a call to mass mureder. And
you wouldn't stand for it either, period.
But if one of your darlings condones, champions, perpetuates and/or applaudes suicide bombings, he's exercising his right to free speech? BS...
If you do, you are not only the real "Jackbooted thugs" here, but the very same type of people that promoted and afforded the rise of people like Adolf Hitler. By being blind to rational and critical thought and taking leave of your senses to allow a party line mentality to do your thinking for you. Pathetic.
Just pathetic.
