Where have you gone Reverend Niemoller, when we turn our lonely eyes to you

Frank Diamant

"The vice-president of B'nai Brith Canada says his organization wants police and the federal government to crack down on pro-Hezbollah demonstrations.

"Frank Dimant says the streets of Canada should not be flooded by extremists supporting a known terrorist group. He said his group has asked police forces and government officials to target the rallies.

"'The streets of Canada will not be taken over by radical Islamic forces supporting terrorist activities,' he said Wednesday. 'B'nai Brith Canada will do its utmost to ensure that Canadians will not be intimidated by these terrorist sympathizers.'"

(For rest of article; also check out Bene Diction Blogs On, an excellent comment on Diamant's dangerous words)

In New York we have William O'Donoghue, who babbles idiocy for the Catholic Archdiocese, obviously Canada has its own form of nonsense. I was brought up in an orthodox Jewish home and Mr. Dimant doesn't represent any form of Judaism that I can understand. When "freedom of speech" goes out the window, Mr. Diamant, who do you think will be the first victims. Try reading Rev. Niemoller's famous poem written about the Nazis, perhaps you can actually learn something. - Dan
