I have been passing out kudos to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his supportive words to the Israeli Knesset this week. Unfortunately, however, not everybody appreciated Harper's support for Israel. Within the Knesset itself, there are a couple of Arabs who don't support their own country and who used the occasion of Harper's visit to heckle him.

Of course, this might cause an objective chap to ask whether Israel's neighbors have any Jews in their "parliaments" (no ) or whether they could get away with this type of behavior in a place like Damascus, as Bibi Netanyahu pointed out.
But it gets worse. There is a Canadian blog called "Northern Truth Seeker", in which the proprietor is quite angry at Harper's visit to Israel and is also angry at Harper's words of support for the Jewish state. Consider this post, which refers to Harper as a "criminal Jew-Butt Kisser"

But it gets even more bizarre as the Truth Seeker from the North "dissects" Harper's speech line by line and reveals something else very interesting about himself: Aside from being a raving Jew hater, he also doesn't believe all that stuff about the Holocaust and extermination camps during World War II.

"Laureen and I share that pride, the pride and the understanding that what has been achieved here has occurred in the shadow of the horrors of the Holocaust; the understanding that it is right to support Israel because, after generations of persecution, the Jewish people deserve their own homeland and deserve to live safely and peacefully in that homeland." (Harper)
"Cue the still unproven and unresearchable Holocaust....More groveling.... And the "persecution of the Jews" that you state here is primarily due to their criminal activities! (Truth Seeker)"
And so it goes.
But it gets even more bizarre. Checking out this website, I found (and you can too) all sorts of stuff, like 9-11 conspiracies, tributes to Rachel Corrie and Adolf Hitler (yes, both) and stuff about the Rothschilds and other evil, wicked Jews. He even has articles attacking DEA.
But who is the Northern Truth Seeker?
Well, he won't tell us, only that he is a 53-year-old man living in the Canadian tundra (probably about 500 miles from the nearest igloo.) Of course, that is a wise move on his part. People like that don't have the nerve to put their names next to what they believe because their beliefs are so sick. This guy is a nutty conspiracy theorist and a Jew hater. The more intelligent Jew haters who attack Israel try to disguise their hate by using the term, "Zionists" or never mentioning Jews at all. This guy is the literary heir to Julius Streicher.
So congratulations, Canada. Down here in California, we have La voz de Aztlan. You have the Northern Truth Seeker.
I wonder if that is the same guy who used to write the "Truth Excavator" column at Alexandria? He was fun to pull to pieces (metaphorically speaking), but even H.M. Stuart couldn't stomach him. If you asked him for evidence to back his position, he replied "Its all around." He had the same tone of moral certainty this "Truth Seeker" displays.
ReplyDeletePlease. I am trying to forget Alexandria.
ReplyDeleteBut Gary, if it wasn't for Alexandria, I never would have found my way to your column. I never would have met Lance and Ingrid, your German friend, Lance's mother. I never would have known Findalis existed.
ReplyDelete(Occasionally I look to see if my best work remains available at Alexandria. It's still there. But once Rod Dreher started blogging at The American Conservative, everyone worth talking to went back to Dreher to chat with each other.)
