1. Thank you Canada!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.14.10)
For acknowledging that these so-called "charitable" organizations are nothing more than apologists and funders of Palestinian terror organizations. Many countries have come to this realization; now that Canada has paved the way, nation after nation will follow suit. Thank you for being in the vanguard of the many nations who are sick of Palestinian violence, Palestinian terror and Palestinian deception and are ready to stand up and be counted!
2. Finally some sense is being shown...
Malone ,   Hfx   (01.14.10)
...in this politically correct world where it seems everyone is afraid of offending Muslims. Bravo!!!
3. so what? most of them were non-profit anyway
BÉATRICE ,   TORANTO   (01.14.10)
much to do about nothing but Canadian pr
4. I'm proud to have been born in Canada.
Leah ,   Yerushalayim, Yisrae   (01.14.10)
This is the only good news I've seen today. Yeah Canada!
5. Good ol' Canada - perhaps Kairos might like
kate b ,   cheshire   (01.14.10)
to open a Bible and see who that land belongs to. Hmmm Kairos, sounds like CAIR
6. Everyone afraid of offending Muslims?
Thomas ,   Vancouver, CANADA   (01.14.10)
Nearly choked when I read that. From our North American perspective, this is a world where everyone is afraid of offending the Jews. Muslims are offended and disprespected daily here. Jews? Not. Nice try on the victimization philosophy, but it doesn't hold a drop of water.
7. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.14.10)
You have completely missed the point. "Charitable" organizations are, by definition, not-for-profit. The point was that they used funds provided by the Canadian government to push issues that the Canadian government deemed to be reprehensible, i.e., support of terror and promoting an agenda which calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. The next step, a la United States, will be to revoke their not-for-profit status. That means that contributions made to these organizations will no longer be tax-exempt, and the organizations themselves will be required to pay federal, provincial and city taxes. The financial transactions of these organizations will also come under very close scrutiny for illegal practices, which will result in seizure of all their assets. Fines will be assessed and the leadership may face prison terms for fraud and tax evasion. In short -- look for these scurrilous so-called "charitable" organizations to disappear. That's what happened in the United States, that is what will happen in Canada and in many other western nations. The Palestinians have gambled and lost. Every nation that matters knows exactly what they are all about.
8. oh canada
cheryl ,   canada   (01.14.10)
good day to be canadian!!
9. Meanwhile, back in Washington...
Heather Czerniak ,   Milwaukee, USA   (01.14.10)
...well, no news yet, except that Rahm Emmanuel just state that he's fed up with Israel and the Palestinians. Well, many of us are fed up with the Palestinians, but there's not much you can do about Israel, a nuclear power. But it's nice to see another country finally come to its senses and give radical Islamists the big snub. A big thumbs-up to our northerly neighbors!
10. Kol Hakavod Canada. Well done standing up to hate!!
Scott ,   New York, USA   (01.14.10)
B'ahava from your neighbor to the south!

Jae ,   Lynn US   (01.14.10)
anti semites. I criticize an etnic communiyt, a country , a person, boycotting is an attmept to DESTROY said person, business, communitym country. You reap what you sow o yee haters.
12. Clarity of action by the Harper government
David ,   Toronto Canada   (01.14.10)
As a Jewish naturalized Canadian, the last thing I would have done a year ago was to vote for the conservative Government. But after the clear and decisive steps taken recently by the Harper government against undeserving, anti Israel fronts in Canada, they certainly have my vote now. Now they need to clear out the university hate groups, mascaraing as liberals, that have their heads deep in the public trough too.
13. the world evens out. we lost Turkey, gained Canada.
(01.14.10)
14. #6 Oh really?
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.14.10)
How many times have Muslims rioted all over the world and made death threats, over petty things such as cartoons? And in contrast, how many times were Jews offended by international, especially Arab media? And how many times have they reacted similarly to Muslims? And let's give a more specific example. How did Jews react to The Passion of Christ, and how did Muslims react to Fitna? What a silly, silly post, Thomas.
15. Oh Canada / Hatekva?
Canadian   (01.14.10)
This is a decision by Zionists-to-the-bones Kenny and Cotler. Canada is ruled by BnaiBrith and not by Canadians
16. Harper is the Canadian version of G W Bush
George ,   Canada   (01.14.10)
No surprise here, the prime minister of Canada” sorry of Israel” Stephan Harper and his ideological cabinet will do every thing to appease Israel. Israel interest comes first, then Canada. Israel is the country of admiration for Mr. Harper. This government won’t last long in office the y are holding the power in the last straw. The American wiped off their ideological moron G, W Bush, but we still have our here. Canada is a free, liberal, secular country and no place for religion ideologist. The election is soon and will see, don’t rush be too happy.
17. Canada
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.14.10)
Oh this is good news & a slap in the face for every Arab.
18. I'd offer to swap national leaders, but ...
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (01.14.10)
Oh, if only the US had Harper and someone else had Obama. But as an alumnus of McGill University (Class of '7x) I wouldn't wish Obama on our good neighbors to the north. Well done on cutting funds to those organizations, though why the government is funding such NGOs is beyond me. A legacy of Trudeau's liberal meddling perhaps.
19. Kairos is hated in Canada!
Concerned Canadian ,   Vancouver   (01.14.10)
I wasn't even aware that our government was funding these organizations which act against all the values Canada stands for (before the Islamists immigrated, that is!). Kairos activities cloud the brains of our children and encourage hatred, intolerance and racism against Jews by promoting old and work Nazi claims of "Jewish control" of money etc. It is apparent that Kairos is a group led by demented priests who cannot grasp the simple fact that as "christians", they are hated by Musims and regarded as just another "Crusader group", and this is regardless how much Palestinian, Hamas and Hezbollah a$$ licking they do. I don't worry for their welfare though. Their greediness will be satisfied by $ coming from Iran and Saudi-Arabia - the two most active supporters of terror, incitement and racism in the world. I am happy that for once, our impotent government has done something honorable and pulled its hands from this despicable organization which stands against everything the Canadian heritage stands for.
20. #6
jennie ,   NY   (01.14.10)
Unless you are an alien, you have no reason to choke on account of a government decision of a major democratic country. No muslims are being offended anywhere in the world. It is the truth about their terror acts all around the world, that you can't see...How many Jewish terror groups do you know ? And what do you think would be a reason for offending any human being for their religion if they are not causing harm and destruction...You need to choke on something once or twice to be able to digest the truth.....
21. #16 Trudeau was the Canadian version of lame Jimmy Carter!
(01.14.10)
Trudeau? GOOD RIDDANCE! "..Harper and his ideological cabinet will do every thing to appease Israel." As opposed with Trudeu obscenely licking Muslim arse? Do you miss that taste so much "George"? "Canada is a free, liberal, secular country and no place for religion ideologist" That may explain why there are so many rabid Muslims roaming freely and inciting against "liberalism, secularis and other religions" You are an pathetical cretin "George". It explains how Canada fell so easily in the blood-stained hands of Hamas and Hezbollah representants there. Yessir- you epitomize "ideological moron" and you're the reason that on the next elections we'll vote for Harper AGAIN!
22. No. 16 George
NYC Girl   (01.15.10)
It's interesting that you disdain "religion ideologist" (whatever the hell that means) when it comes to Israel, which, by the way, is a democracy, and not a theocracy like some people who don't really know a damn thing about Israel believe. Yet it doesn't sound as if you're the least bit uncomfortable when it comes to the oppressively religious Muslims and their sycophantic supporters. Sounds like a bit of a double standard here, especially because if the Muslims had their way, your beloved liberal, secular country of Canada would be living under Sharia law.
23. Witness - to # 15 &16
Dave ,   Bs.Aires-Argentina   (01.15.10)
You both are totally wrong. - Do you know the damage to the Mankind that is doing the HATRED and the Terrorism? I unfortunatly was an eye wintness of the bombing of the AMIA (A jewish Association) here in Buenos Aires - Argentina. It was like hell. Blood, human limbs and death everywhere . The blast killed and maimed hundreds of innocent Argentinian people, both Jews and Christians . That is the result of the HATRED that your beloved "Organizations" is teaching to the people. May be, if you both, were in this catastrophic moment, ... may be it change your mind about the Islamic Terrorism. It has proven that the bombing was done by HEZBOLLAH, with the aid of the IRANIANS. It is done in a daily basis in a lot of countries in the world. - Come on ! Wake Up !- Take a break and think wishfully of this fact. VERY GOOD JOB CANADIANS - GOD BLESS CANADA
24. Another concerned Canadian, now we are targeting christian
Jeff Lapointe ,   Canada   (01.15.10)
arabs. As a Canadian I am really concerned how much we are dumb. We almost know nothing about the real Middle East history and what is really going on there. Till lately we used to thing no need for this extra knowledge, and we are too busy to bother to know. But when our dead sons corps start to comes in dozens with no reason to be, it is aught to think twice. Terror ,terror terror. Is the nowadays popular song. Our” smart “government managed to do from the American and Israeli enemies our enemies. Oh, yeah we are protecting Canada security and freedom in Kondahar, what an idiotism. Our sons dying for the Jewish cause. this is a fact that many morons do not understand. Is anybody has the though why Israel is not fighting Taliban or alkaida in Kandahar ?They are not a threat for Israel, or what ?!! If they have the stupid American, Canadian,..etc do the dirty job for them why not!.. If there were no Israeli- Palestinian problem, there were no muslin extremists that are coming to threat us in our step door. Our blind support for Israeli aggression is the core of the problem. You want support Israel and cover up their mess in Gaza , Palestine Lebanon etc….,pay the price. Switzerland is a freedom? We share the same cultures? Why there are not afraid from muslim extremist but we do…..
25. Backbone now before the muslums become another separatist
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.15.10)
state like Quebec's attempt to succeed from Canada.
26. @24: Jeff Lapointe
al-kafir al-yahudi ,   usa   (01.15.10)
Wow, that was the dumbest post I have read in a while. Thanks for re-affirming my lack of faith in the intelligence of the Left. "Our sons dying for the Jewish cause," you write. Are you really that stupid? Al-qaeda attacked the US, so the US went into Afghanistan. Why should Israel fight in Afghanistan? So you and your idiot friends can then say "See? Those Jews are just fighting everyone!" You guys flip out when Israel fights an enemy along her border. I can just image what vitriol you'd spew if Israel sent troops to Afghanistan. Al-qaeda's desire to attack the US had nothing to do with Israel. If Israel was the cause, then why didn't AQ just attack Israel? Also, take a look at what is happening in Europe. Europe is pro-Palestinian, but Europe is full of violent anti-European muslim groups who kill European civilians for fun. What happened in London and Madrid? What happens to liberal Dutch artists who dare point out that militant islam is (gasp) violent. The Israel-Palestinian conflict has nothing to do with the dozen or so conflicts that are occurring in the world. The only common thread is that the conflicts are about muslims killing anyone who isn't a muslim (Chechnya, Nigeria, Indonesia, Pakistan, Lebanon, Sudan, India, etc) BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IT IS THE WILL OF THEIR GOD. If there were no Israel-Palestinian problem, you'd still see islam racking up the body count in other parts of the world. See...when you actually stop to think about things, you might sound like less of an idiot.
27. Canada cut funding to anti-ISRAELI GROUP
Renz Ortiz Luis ,   PHILIPPINES   (01.15.10)
THAT"S REALLY GREAT JOB!!! THOSE GROUP ARE PRO TERRORIST!!! GO GO GO CANADA!!!
28. We are winning
Gazan ,   Canada   (01.15.10)
Hate to burst your bubble, but the fact that the Canadian government is taking these racist measures means that the Palestinian solidarity and BDS movement is winning. This is just the empire strikes back.
29. #24..Jeff
Malone ,   Hfx   (01.15.10)
What on earth are you babbling about,lol....
30. Zionists rule Canada? Mazel Tov
Hinda ,   SF BAY AREA   (01.15.10)
So is that why Canada has found a backbone because they had enough of the pro-Nazis (Muslim Brotherhood)? Maybe the US should follow the example and outlaw CAIR, MSU (Muslim Student Union), Arab-Anti-Defamation, and make it illegal for Saudi-backed terrorist schools and clusters (Islambergs) to exist.
