Kenney denounces “new anti-Semitism”
by Scott Gilbreath ~ May 26th, 2009
Speaking in Israel last Sunday, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney (at right) condemned the new anti-Semitism arising from an alliance between Western leftists and Islamic extremists, calling it even worse than the “old European” anti-Semitism.
“The existential threat faced by Israel on a daily basis is ultimately a threat to the broader Western civilization,” said Jason Kenney, explaining the staunchly pro-Israel positions of his government, led by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
“It’s a threat that comes from profoundly undemocratic forces that don’t have the same conception of human dignity or freedom, and which abuse Israel as a kind of representative of the broader West and Western liberal-democratic values,” said Kenney. “I also very acutely understand the nature of the new anti-Semitism, and I think it’s even more dangerous than the old European anti-Semitism.”

Melanie Phillips has positive things to say about this, too.

Thanks, David. As she points out, it is difficult to imagine President Obama or British Foreign Secretary Miliband saying what Kenney did.
Makes me proud to be a Canadian.
