In Execrable Company: Clip of Toronto's Al Quds Day Makes It to MEMRI TV (Nestled Among All the Other Zany Jew-Haters/Zion-Loathers)

I feel so special.

Update: A Daily Beast scribbler is dumbfounded to find that most of the mainstream media chose to ignore this event:

 I checked the website of every newspaper and broadcast outlet in Toronto. I found only one other reference to the rally in the local press. Five days after the rally, the notoriously anti-Israel Toronto Star ran a profile of Hazineh. To provide a veneer of objectivity the story included a quote from Shimon Fogel, the CEO of Center for Israel Affairs, who said that it was "disgusting and outrageous that a speaker at a rally in Canada would call for the murder of Jews in Israel." To the Star reporter, Hazineh admitted the words were "inflammatory" and "inappropriate." Yet the profile is largely sympathetic. In explanation he said: "The language was a metaphor, it was not used as a reality.... I was using to make a point. I was trying to make a point, enough is enough." Some metaphor. For decades, mainstream Palestinian thought has regarded the indiscriminate killing of Jews as legitimate. It's no stretch to see Hazineh's words as an endorsement of blowing up Israeli buses or firing missiles at Israeli cities. 

You might think that calling for the killing of Jews before a large crowd might be more than a local story. Indeed, the story was picked up by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the American Jewish channel Shalom TV and the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). There were also stories on some Israeli websites such as the Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post. Through an Internet search, I tried to determine how much coverage Hazineh's rant had gotten in the American media. I couldn't find any evidence that the general press had covered the story at all. Among Jewish publications, Algemeiner.com, Vosizneis.com and The Jewish Press covered the story. But all three appeal to right-wing Orthodox readers. Among Jewish publications in large American cities, which have a wider readership, I only found two: Los Angeles's Jewish Journal and the Forward, a national Jewish weekly, ran stories about the rally.

Out of sight, out of mind? If we ignore it, it'll go away? Jihad, what jihad? Hey, have you heard about Kim Kardashian's baby?
