Anti-Semitism destroyed Annamie Paul

Yesterday, Green Party leader Annamie Paul resigned as leader of Canada’s Green Party, saying her term of leadership was “the worst year of my life.”  It’s funny that the progressive media isn’t hinting at racism or sexism as an underlying reason for Paul’s demise, her being a Black woman and all.  Could be that, being at the leading edge of left-wing progressivism, the Greens are immune from such criticisms?  But the media all know, and aren’t saying, that the real reason is the anti-Semitism in the party that made her life miserable.

Paul is also Jewish, and she couldn’t abide by the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel stance of members of her caucus, such as Jenica Atwin, who defect to the Liberals, and other leading members of the Green Party.

Anti-Semitism runs through the International Left like a social disease.  However politically unacceptable anti-Semitism is, the Labour Party in Britain is openly anti-Semitic.  The Democrat Party in the United States demonstrated a powerful streak of anti-Semitism exists in it, and that exploded into view at the 2012 party convention.  When a voice-vote was called on a resolution to amend the party’s platform to include language referring to Jerusalem and God, the no vote was deafening.

"In addition, President Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and our party's platform should as well," ran the appeal.

Not getting the response he wanted, the convention chairman called for the vote again.  Again, the voice vote was negative.  After three failed attempts, the chairman simply declared that the aye’s had it, and moved on.

The political Left in Canada is also imbued with a rancid anti-Semitism.

Progressives have no doubt as to their moral purity, and it troubles them not a whit to harass Annamie Paul in a way they would condemn the same being done by conservatives or the otherwise unenlightened.  Progressives are too morally pure to be guilty of racism or sexism, and being anti-Semitic is not a moral defect in their eyes.  Quite the opposite.  The chic position is to be pro-Palestinian.

It should now be clear, that that moralistic, high-sounding rhetoric of the Greens in Canada is heavily tinctured with anti-Semitism.
