Meet the anti-Semitic Muslim MP Justin Trudeau just put in charge of our consulates

[MrBates2]

EZRA LEVANT
REBEL COMMANDER
Trudeau just appointed a Saudi-born extremist, Omar Alghabra, to be Parliamentary Secretary to the foreign minister. That means he's in charge of our international consulates.

With thousands of Syrian migrants flooding into Canada, and the risk of Islamic terrorism at an all-time high, this is a recipe for disaster.

Omar Alghabra used to run the Canadian Arab Federation, a group that is so anti-Semitic, it had its government funding cut off.

Alghabra has said that Hamas and Hezbollah aren't terrorist groups. He doesn’t think they should be illegal in Canada. He doesn’t think Canadian journalists should even be able to call them terrorists.

And he hates Israel.

He doesn’t even think Canadian officials should visit Israel, or participate in a Jewish charity walk in Toronto.

Believe it or, I've got a lot more disturbing information about Alghabra in my monologue, including his relationship with the prime minister.

This troubling appointment raises questions about how Syrian refugees to Canada will be vetted, and much more.

If you’re concerned about Omar Alghabra being in charge of Canadian government policy, and if you’re worried it will mean tens of thousands of other Muslim radicals coming to Canada in the name of refugees,

Omar Alghabra

Omar Alghabra is a Saudi Arabian-born Canadian politician of Syrian Canadian[1] descent, who represents the riding of Mississauga Centre in the House of Commons since the 2015 federal election. He previously represented the riding of Mississauga—Erindale in the Canadian House of Commons from 2006 to 2008. On December 2, 2015, he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for consular affairs.[2] He is the former president of the Canadian Arab Federation, and senior policy advisor to Justin Trudeau.

Alghabra graduated from Ryerson University with a degree in engineering and in 2000 received his Master of Business Administration from York University. He was elected to the House of Commons in the 2006 election as a member of the Liberal caucus, and was an active organizer for Gerard Kennedy's leadership bid. He was the opposition critic for Citizenship and Immigration, and later for Natural Resources. He was narrowly defeated by Bob Dechert in the 2008 election and the 2011 election. In the 2015 election he was returned to Parliament as the MP for the recreated riding of Mississauga Centre

In 2010, Alghabra identified key issues on his platform:
Ending poverty in Mississauga; Alghabra states that one out of five children in Mississauga live in poverty
Reduce the unemployment rate; Alghabra quotes a 2010 figure of around 10%.
Integration of immigrants; Alghabra said he would work towards the recognition of foreign credentials.

On Canadian democracy, Alghabra stated:
I was raised in areas where they don't believe in democracy and civil rights, cultures of equality and justice, and there is no belief that a citizen has the power over their own destiny...now I have a unique appreciation for Canada and what Canada has to offer, so it is that passion about striving to protect the idea and the noble concept of democracy.

Canadian Arab Federation
The Canadian Arab Federation (CAF) was formed in 1967 to represent the interests of Arab Canadians with respect to the formulation of public policy in Canada. It presently consists of over 40 member organizations.

CAF's stated objectives include protecting civil liberties and human rights as well as combating racism and hate within Canada.[1] It has been most vocal against anti-Arab and anti-Muslim activities in Canada, and has issued many position papers to the government with respect to its policies in the Southwest Asia and its domestic immigration policies.[2] It discharges its political tasks by building media and government relations and grassroots support through various capacity-building projects within the Canadian Arab community, and promoting Muslim and Arab culture.[1]

Its current president is Farid Ayad, who replaced Khaled Mouammar, who was elected in early 2006. Mouammar was also president in the 1970s, and again from 1980 to 1982


The CAF opposed Prime Minister Joe Clark's 1979 pledge to move the Canadian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and welcomed Clark's eventual retreat on the issue. CAF President Khaled Mouammar said that moving the embassy would have meant recognizing territory that was taken by force.[14] In 1980, Mouammar said he would call for a boycott of stores selling Dedy Toys, which imported materials from a settlement in the occupied West Bank.

In 1981, the CAF hosted a press conference for two Palestinian mayors who had been deported by Israel from the West Bank. The mayors called for Canada to put pressure on the government of Israel to permit them to return.[16] Khaled Mouammar condemned Israel's attack on Iraq's Osirik nuclear reactor later in the year, and described Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin as an "unrepentant terrorist" who was a constant threat to the region.

In September 1982, the CAF led a non-violent demonstration in Toronto against the massacre of between 762 and 3,500 civilians, mostly Palestinians and Lebanese Shiites, in Sabra and the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon. The organization later partnered with the Arab-Palestine Association to find sponsors for children who had been orphaned in the attacks.

When Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau recognized the right of Palestinians to a homeland in 1983, his statement was supported by the Canadian Arab Federation. Rashad Saleh, Mouammar's successor as CAF president, said that Canada's Arab community would strongly support any peace efforts brought forward by the prime minister.

In a press release responding to the recent stepped up Israeli attacks on Gaza known as Operation Summer Rains, the CAF urged the Canadian government to "join Canadian churches and unions by boycotting Israeli goods, divesting from Israeli companies, and imposing sanctions until Israel withdraws from all the occupied Arab territories, dismantles all settlements and tears down the Apartheid Wall."[26]

CAF's president, Khaled Mouammar, has referred to Israel as "the Israeli apartheid regime".[27] In "Impressions of Palestine – 1948 Today", he wrote of a "racist ideology that guides the Apartheid State of Israel" and of his conviction "that one day the nightmare brought about by Zionism and colonialism will come to an end."[28]

Mouammar criticized Toronto Mayor David Miller for participating in Toronto's "Walk for Israel," stating that Israel is "a pariah state," and that Israel "systematically violates international law and practices racism".[29]

In a letter published in the Globe and Mail, Mouammar clarified that the CAF's stance on anyone who supports Israel is that "we [the CAF] assert that any support for Israel is support for apartheid, occupation and war crimes.""[30]

In his capacity as president of the Canadian Arab Federation, Mouammar has condemned Zionist organizations in Canada for their support of Israel. In January 2007, he wrote that Bnai Brith Canada and the Jewish Defence League were using "bullying and intimidation tactics to silence criticism of Israel" and had launched "a vicious campaign of intimidation" against movements that call for boycotts of Israel within the Canadian political landscape.[31] He also wrote that as more people support boycotts of Israel, "the more difficult it becomes for pro-Israel groups such as B'nai Brith and the JDL to spew their propaganda."[31]

Regarding an October 2007 Hamilton Declaration which stated "We further specifically caution you against any recognition of Israel as a 'Jewish state.' Such a recognition would give Israel the façade of moral and legal legitimacy". Khaled Mouammar stated that he "certainly agrees" with the declaration. However, the CAF did not sign the declaration because it "does not qualify," since the document was endorsed at a convention for Palestinians, and not for Arabs in general.[

Israel-Canada free trade agreement[edit]

In July 2006, CAF president Khaled Mouammar wrote that:


The Canadian government has been a major supporter of the Israeli Apartheid Regime, both economically (Canada has a Free Trade Agreement with Israel that grosses over 1 billion dollars) and diplomatically (Canada voted against the Palestinian Refugees Right of Return at the UN in March of this year, Canada was also the first country to declare sanctions against the Democratically elected Hamas government).”[36]

"Israel's values are Canada's values"[edit]

In April 2007, Mouammar criticized Bob Rae for supporting Israel, stating in the Vancouver Sun that:

Canadians have a duty to criticize politicians like Bob Rae who support an apartheid state that commits serious human rights violations, and those like Paul Martin and Stephen Harper who shamefully declare that "Israel's values are Canada's values."

In February 2008, Mouammar criticised the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper, stating that:
The Harper government's decision to boycott and starve the democratically elected government of the Palestinians under occupation, and its opposition to a UN resolution calling for the lifting of the siege of Gaza, has given Israel the green light to intensify and escalate its crimes against the Palestinian people. The Harper government's silence, while Israel commits these massacres against the Palestinian people and engages in an ongoing campaign of assassinations in Lebanon and Syria, makes the government morally complicit in these crimes.

Canadian support for Israel's 2008–09 attacks in Gaza
In January 2009, Ali Mallah, a CAF Vice-President, sharply criticized the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper for its position on the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict. At a protest outside the Israeli Consulate in Toronto, Mallah stated, in a speech to the crowd, that:
"[Canadian Minister of Transport] John Baird was quoted as saying the resisters in Palestine are cowards. Well I have news for you John Baird and Stephen Harper, the only coward we know is Stephen Harper and his government."

Hezbollah
Ali Mallah, a CAF Vice-President stated Hezbollah "is seen as a symbol of the struggle against Israeli oppression, injustice and occupation."[40] During the 2006 Israel/Hezbollah conflict, CAF President Khaled Mouammar criticized the Canadian Government stance on Hezbollah, stating that:
"By refusing to deal with Hezbollah, a political party represented in the Lebanese government whose resistance to Israel's aggression is supported by 87 per cent of Lebanese citizens, Peter MacKay is parroting the Bush administration's stand and is emboldening Israel to launch further wars against its neighbours."

Hamas
In a policy paper released in November 2006, the CAF defended Hezbollah and Hamas, stating that "Both of these groups are legitimate political parties, with grassroots support, and are represented in the legislature and the cabinets of Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority respectively. Both groups are resisting the illegal Israeli occupation of Lebanon and Palestine respectively which right is guaranteed under international law" and called on the Canadian Government to "remove Hezbollah and Hamas from the list of banned organizations."

I suppose Donald Trump will want to build another wall now.

 

[Hard_Rom]

I prefer not to get too involved in Israeli/Palestinian affairs. The Palestinian Arabs were the dominant ethnic group in Palestine for 2,000 years. Until Jewish refugees fleeing discrimination and genocide started to illegally immigrate. With assistance from Jewish and Christian fundamentalist groups massive numbers of illegal immigrants took up arms to establish a Jewish state. I'm not surprised Palestinians and regional Arabs do not like Israel.

Who doesn't fear illegal immigrants backed by foreign fundamentalist groups attempting to implement a religious state in their country.

I don't like terror tactics but can sympathize with displaced Palestinians. It was their country for 2,000 years since the Romans drove much of the Jewish population away.

Saudis are Semites just a different religion .

After 1500 years of being called Christ killers, deported en masse from countries they were born in and subject to various genocidal pogroms, I don't blame the Jews for looking for a safe place to live. Their original homeland from 2000 years ago is as good as any. Better chance there than some western nation allowing a thinly populated area to be given over as at most an autonomous region.
