Laith Marouf has been seething with open hatred for Jews and others for years. If the Trudeau government only just found this out, it’s criminally negligent. If it knew all along and didn’t care until there was a public furor, it’s something worse than that.
An update on this story. “Trudeau government claim outrage at ‘anti-racism’ consultant they were praising as recently as April,” by Tristin Hopper, National Post, August 22, 2022:
Top Trudeau government officials are claiming to be blindsided by the revelation that they awarded a $130,000 “anti-racism” contract to a man whose social media accounts are saturated with racial slurs and taunts, but even the barest bit of a Google search could have confirmed that Laith Marouf had a well-established history of hateful remarks.
Ahmed Hussen, the minister in charge of Canadian Heritage, did not name Marouf in a statement Sunday that only referred to “this individual,” who he said stands against “everything our government, and our country, stand for.” A day later, Hussen announced that Marouf’s funding had been cut.
And yet, only five months ago, Hussen’s personal endorsement was featured in a press release issued by Marouf’s own Community Media Advocacy Centre.
In the April 14 statement, Marouf spoke of his federally funded, cross-Canada tour to deliver “anti-racism” seminars to Canadian broadcasters, and thanked Hussen’s department for “the trust imposed in us.”
A direct quote by Hussen said “our government is proud to contribute to the initiative.”
At the time of the statement, Marouf had already seen his Twitter account suspended on the grounds of “hateful conduct” and the promotion of violence — a suspension that he publicly blamed on the “Zionist lobby.”
Among other tweets, Marouf claimed Israel was the creation of “White Jews who adopted Nazism.” He referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the head of an “Apartheid” colony. Irwin Cotler — a Jewish-Canadian and former Liberal justice minister — was called the “Grand Wizard of Zionism” and a man who “looks like a dick without makeup.” In July 2021, Marouf said that “Jewish White Supremacists” deserve only a “bullet to the head.”…

So either the government did no background check or they did and didn’t care about all the Jew hating until enough people heard about it. Trudeau still doesn’t understand the difference between responsible leadership and being the master of ceremonies for a fashion show.

The Red-Green Coalition created by PM ‘Jihadi’ Justin Trudeau appears to be falling apart because Muslims keep revealing themselves as antisemitic bigots. They just can’t keep that part of normative Islam a secret. Meanwhile, most of Canadian Jewry doesn’t realize that the policies of Jihadi Justin are endangering them and keep voting for the party that is importing more antisemitic fanatics like Laith Marouf.
The next generation of Canadian Jews will pay a price for their parents’ moral short-sightedness. The Liberals are not the friends of Canada’s Jews, though they pretend to be. Their are now more Muslim votes in Canada than Jewish votes. The handwriting is on the wall.

OT: “Diplomat arrested in New York dodges rape charge due to immunity: reports”
source: Insider
“A South Sudanese diplomat to the United Nations was arrested in New York City after being accused of raping his neighbor but was released by authorities without charges because he had diplomatic immunity, according to multiple reports.
Charles Oliha, 46, was accused of forcing his way into the upper Manhattan apartment of his neighbor on Sunday and raping her twice, New York Daily News first reported.”

Nothing will happen to Ahmed Hussen, the minister in charge of Canadian Heritage, who endorsed and funded this racist racket for a number of years. But PM Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Liberal party should lose what remains of Canadian Jew’s traditional support.
More material on Marouf’s wife Gretchen King at her page of on the Lebanese American Univ site (maybe already mentioned in JW’s previous 2 articles on this Canadian scandal).

Anti-Jewish hatred in Canada is old news, but every new expose of state sponsored antisemitism still surprises.

I wonder who did the digging and why it took so long. It seems only David Collier in the U.K. does that kind of time consuming research.
