Happy Valentines Day Jason Kenney! Islamofascist Palestine House Defunded!
As readers have suggested write Jason Kenney and thank him - jason.kenney@parl.gc.ca
NB: this is the Pallie House Press Release announcing their long anticipated de-funding:
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Feb. 14, 2012) – Earlier this month, Mr. Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism, decided not to renew a contribution agreement between Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and Palestine House Cultural and Educational Centre (Palestine House). As a result Palestine House will no longer provide settlement services or language instruction to newcomer Canadians. Mr. Kenny did not provide any convincing explanation for his decision…
No convincing explanation you Islamofascist scumbags?
Then Start Reading RIGHT HERE.
As Sassy notes much is owed to the efforts of the JDL, fellow bloggers and those who work silently behind the scenes…
Blazing Cat Fur continues with many flagrant Examples of Anti-Semitic Advocacy Associated with Palestine House.
Scaramouche says:
…FYI, here’s my “favourite” PH video. It shows a House denizen aping age-old Judenhass by tossing pennies at Jews. (The semiotics of the act: “the Joooos” are so greedy and money-grubbing that they’ll scramble to collect even these lowliest of coins.) This one (“you need another Holocaust”) is mighty eye-opening, too:
Palestine House “Security” You need another Holocaust
Uploaded by blazingcatfur on Apr 2, 2010 The JDL of Canada staged a protest against Palestine House on Good Friday April 2 2010. Here one of their thugs can be heard screaming – “You need another Holocaust”. This is why our Government needs to defund Palestine House. They have received millions of Canadian Tax Payer dollars to promote Islamist hate.
Palestine House defunded!

Hat tip to Blazing Cat Fur for compiling all the dirt but getting none of the credit:
1. Rashad Saleh, former President of Palestine House, compared former
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to Hitler as he urged on a crowd of protesters chanting “death to Jews” at a 2000 rally. In 2002, Rashed Saleh seemed to dispute the historical validity of the Holocaust. While speaking to CFRB radio he referred to a “so-called” Holocaust. He also compared Israeli government to the Nazi regime by saying “Israelis are engaging in atrocities similar to the one that Hitler has made.”2. Adam Hanieh and Rafeef Ziadah, both former Palestine House board members, are members of the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA) and CUPE, and were instrumental in advocating in favour of CUPE Ontario’s May 2006 anti-Israel boycott resolutions. Ziadah accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and calls for the full return of Palestinian refugees and their descendants to Israel.
3. Addressing a 2006 Rally in Toronto condemning Israeli self-defense against Hezbollah attacks, former Palestine House President and current board member Elias Hazineh saluted Hezbollah and Hamas, both listed as terrorist entities in Canada.
4. Following a successful “Land Day” in March 2007, Palestine House published this statement supporting the actions of “martyrs” against “the Israeli Apartheid regime” on their website:
“As the Israeli Apartheid regime continues to steal the lands, properties and lives of the Palestinian people, and intensifies its aggression against neighboring Arab states, it is increasingly imperative that Palestinian and Arab people all over the world hold remain steadfast in demanding the liberation of the Palestinian people, the return of the Palestinian refugees, and the return of stolen Arab land to its rightful owners. The success of events like this year’s land day celebration shows that these demands are not mere utopian dreams, and that the lives of our martyrs have not been given in vain.”

4. In June 2007, Palestine House began calling for a boycott/picket campaign against Chapters Indigo “to demand an end to Canadian ties with Israeli apartheid”.
5. A Palestine House event in October 2007 titled “Palestine: The Canadian Connection in the Current Crisis”, was promoted on their website with the following statement in support of Hamas, a listed terrorist entity in Canada:
“Stephen Harper’s Tory government shamefully led the international
community in imposing a siege on the Palestinian people for exercising their democracy under Israeli occupation, the first time in human history that sanctions have been imposed on a people under occupation. Since then, the US,EU, Canada and Israel have worked to bolster the regime of Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) as he works to negotiate away the historic rights of the Palestinian people to the delight of the Israeli apartheid regime.”6. On 28 October 2007, Palestine House signed on to the “Hamilton Declaration”, an open letter to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas denouncing the Annapolis peace negotiations ,rejecting the two state solution, and opposing the existence of Israel as a Jewish state:
“It is our belief that the purpose of the Annapolis round of negotiations is to extract further critical concessions from the Palestinians while further delaying final status agreements. In particular, we believe that Israel will attempt to redefine the conflict with the Palestinians as being only about ending the occupation of Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, or parts thereof. Such a redefinition leads the Palestinians into the trap of the ‘two-state’ formula which subverts our legitimate rights under international law. We stress that the central issue in the Palestinian conflict with Israel has always been the dispossession of the Palestinian people from their land and property caused by the Zionist ethnic cleansing of 1948 and the Israeli denial to Palestinians of the basic human right to return and to live in peace and security as equal citizens on their land. We further specifically caution you against any recognition of Israel as a “Jewish” state. Such a recognition would give Israel the façade of moral and legal legitimacy while critically compromising the full implementation of the inalienable Palestinian right of return.”
