Just watch leader Elizabeth May.
OTTAWA — Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is affirming her support for an Ottawa-area Green Party candidate accused of “Israel bashing,” just one day after citing anti-Semitism as grounds for rejecting one of her B.C. candidates.
Qais Ghanem, a Yemeni-born physician with a strong interest in the Middle East, has stirred debate among his fellow Greens on the party's online discussion forum. The Greens' Ottawa-South candidate has aligned himself with three other Green candidates to form what they call the “Ottawa Group of Four.” They are pushing the party to approve a resolution called “Palestine” that “calls upon Israel to end its forty-year occupation of all Arab lands without preconditions.”
Ah! Elizabeth May wants an apparent Islamic supremacist-imperialist in her party, running for a seat for the Greens in the election. Contrast with her ousting of the non-Islamic-supremacist-imperialist who uttered vile anti-Semitism. And who agrees with the Islamosupremacist's views.
John Shavluk, the B.C. candidate ousted on grounds of alleged anti-Semitism, has been a staunch online defender of Dr. Ghanem. “Bottom line? Qais gets my help … support … approval,” he wrote July 22.
So, is the Green Party anti-Semitic, anti-Israel or not? How do they explain this blatant double standard? Is it racism, in which it's unacceptable for a "white" person to be anti-Semitic, but ok for an Arab?
Why aren't they being consistent when they say they're in favor of "human rights" and opposed to intolerance?
They're no better than the Liberal Party or the NDP, both of whom, despite cliched claims of being "pro-human-rights" and all that dishonest propaganda gobbleddygook, apparently support an anti-Israel, anti-Semitic agenda, an inconvenient truth one can see if one ignores their lies about being "pro-equality, pro-human-rights" and focuses, not on their words, but on their actions.
