It is beyond the pale for the National Post to equate Sid Ryan's stance on Israel with support for the Holocaust. Your vilification of Mr. Ryan is premised on the false proposition that Israel is being singled out and being treated differently because it describes itself as a "Jewish state." The fact is that the union movement has called for sanctions in the past against countries or states that violate human rights. The union movement boycotted Chile for its human rights abuses. Does this make it anti-Hispanic? Furthermore, it is normal for sanctions to be imposed on countries that violate UN resolutions.

Israel is violating a number of resolutions regarding both the occupation of the West Bank and the continued construction of settlements. If the National Post is serious in wanting Israel to be treated like every other nation, you should be applauding Sid Ryan, not calling him names.

Yeah, but aren't you presupposing that the National Putz is actually taken seriously by anyone with more than a pair of brain cells?

Yeah but the problem is that it isn't just the Pest: the rest of Can-West Global, most US media (not just Faux but the so-called "liberal" ones too) and most of the GOP, Democratic, CPC and Liberal membership also push the line that criticizing Israel = anti-Semitism. Sad
