'Critics' Trash Anti-Semitism Inquiry For Its Lack of, Er, 'Inclusiveness'
The report has dropped and its conclusions are, well, conclusive: Zionhass is all the rage in Canada. And that's not sitting too well with those who manifest a manifestly pro-Palestinian stance. From (left-leaning parliamentary rag) EMBASSY:
A group of Canadian parliamentarians studying anti-Semitism in Canada released a report last week concluding that anti-Semitism is a growing threat in Canada. It recommended, among other things, the establishment a national definition of what constitutes an anti-Semitic crime and standards for data reporting.
The Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism report drew instant praise from Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, Jewish human rights group B'Nai Brith and others who have warned about the dangers of letting anti-Semitism fester in Canada.
However, the fact one of the coalition's Liberal members refused to have her name added to the final report has only added to the controversy that has dogged the panel since its inception two years ago. Bloc Québécois MPs left the inquiry partway through, saying it had a pro-Israel bias, while numerous groups have alleged they were intentionally excluded because their views went against what the members wanted to hear.
As a result, critics say the CPCCA's report is not an objective assessment of the state of anti-Semitism in Canada, and they have raised questions about the benefits of such a politically-charged exercise.
No doubt input from "politically-charged" opponents of Israel--many if not most of them purveyors of the very hatred being examined--might have added another dimension to the hearings, but it would have been of next to no benefit to the inquiry at large, or to its conclusions.

University of Guelph professor Michael Keefer compiled a book with submissions to the CPCCA from more than a dozen individuals and groups that were not subsequently invited to speak, including CJPME, the Canadian Arab Federation and retired Jewish sociologist Joanne Naiman.
DING, DING, DING!
When any article on the subject rolls out "Jew Expert" Herr Professor Doctor Drama Queen Michael Keefer, it should be obvious the writer has a serious mental condition called "Jew On The Brain Disease".
NB: ... same gaggle of characters on the video posted in the comments section on Sassywire's Dawg post.

Absolutely. It's not like you'd want a commission to hear dissenting views or anything.
