B’nai Brith Canada Seeks Apology from Liberal MP Over Remarks About Minister’s Auschwitz Trip


B’nai Brith Canada--the Canadian Jewish community's foremost human rights agency since 1875--today voiced its condemnation of Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj’s remarks about Minister Jason Kenney’s trip to Poland to participate in a ceremony commemorating the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The Toronto-area Liberal MP referred to the Citizenship and Immigration Minister’s trip as a “jaunt” and suggested he would have been better served by visiting Haiti.

In 2006, Wrzesnewskyj was forced to resign his post as deputy foreign affairs critic after he suggested Canada should have direct dealing with Hezbollah, a designated terrorist entity.

“It is absolutely despicable that Wrzesnewskyj would characterize Minister Kenney’s trip to Auschwitz as a ‘jaunt,’” said Frank Dimant, Executive Vice President of B’nai Brith Canada. “Minister Kenney and the government should be praised for their decision to go to Poland and participate in a ceremony which pays tribute to the memory and honour of the victims of the Holocaust."

Dimant, who has been involved in organized Jewish affairs for more than four decades, added: “While we can all agree that the Haitian people deserve tremendous assistance from the global community, Wrzesnewskyj has gotten it wrong. The people and government of Canada have led the world in terms of their generosity in providing relief for the victims of that tragedy. B’nai Brith Canada has its own Haiti relief fund through which many Canadians have also generously donated. To suggest that Minister Kenney should put off his trip to Poland and miss the commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the death camp where millions of people were mercilessly slaughtered is nothing short of outrageous and Wrzesnewskyj needs to apologize.”

N. Korea May Fire More Missiles to Upstage Obama


North Korea may be preparing to test-fire missiles, as reported here.

China Confidential believes the North is likely to time the launch to upstage tomorrow night's State of the Union address by U.S. President Barack Obama.

More important, the North, as China Confidential predicted on January 18--read the piece here--is likely to raise tensions on the Korean Peninsula in order to divert attention from Iran, the North's partner in nuclear/missile crime, and pressure the United States into scrapping sanctions on Pyongyang.

Clinton Will Quit if Iran Gets Nukes





Washington insiders say U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will resign if Iran becomes a nuclear-armed nation.

Clinton will step down to distance herself from Barack Obama's appeasement of Iran (and Islamism in general) in order to be able to challenge him for the Democratic Party's Presidential nomination in 2012.

Clinton is also likely to resign if there is another Islamist terrorist attack on the United States or a U.S. target and the incident does not cause the Obama administration to abandon its soft approach to terrorism, which includes treating alien enemy combatants as common criminals entitled to civilian court trials, lawyers, and plea bargains.

A veteran political analyst with strong Democratic ties tells China Confidential: "Hillary is a rich woman who is still young enough to become the first woman President of the United States. She does not need to be identified with failure and defeat."

Partial Burqa Ban Better than No Burqa Ban



A French parliamentary panel stopped short of recommending a total ban on barbaric burqas. But a partial ban is better than no ban. Click here for the report from Paris, a European capital under siege from the Muslim/Islamist onslaught that threatens to drown the Continent in barbarism and backwardness.

Astonishingly, U.S. President Barack Obama actually intervened in the issue last year. He backed burqa-wearing in France as part of his odious outreach (another code word for appeasement) to "the Muslim world"--a nation, according to Islamists, that is united by Islamic law to a degree that transcends all other legal systems, political boundaries, and national and ethnic differences.

Obama has also supported Islamist-leaning Turkey's bid for European Union membership, even though the United States is not an EU member.

Iran Says it Will Show Off New Missiles

Nuclear-arming, Islamist Iran plans to unveil new missiles and weapons systems next month, as reported here.
