“We are doing this to protect you” from “radical groups.”
Here’s a story out of Concordia University in Montreal.
Today, Dean of Students Andrew Woodall notified Jewish students that the administration was not permitting them to set up a pro-Israel table on campus that would call for the release of Israeli hostages.
When student leaders challenged this antisemitic decision, Woodall said “we are doing this to protect you” from “radical groups.”
And that sort of thing is going around.
Here it is popping up in hockey.
The Olympic Committee of Israel received confirmation on Wednesday that the Israeli national ice hockey team will be allowed to take part in the ice hockey world championship in Bulgaria next week about a week after Israel Hayom first reported that the the sporting body said security concerns made it impossible for the Israelis’ to play.
South Africa, when it’s not aiding Hamas, is protecting a Jewish cricket team captain by removing him.
David Teeger, a rising star on South Africa’s cricket scene, has been removed as the country’s Under-19 team captain on the eve of the world championship competition.
Cricket South Africa cited threats to Teeger, who is Jewish, and the team over Israel’s war against Hamas ahead of the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, which South Africa is hosting.
“We have been advised that protests related to the war in Gaza can be anticipated at the venues for the tournament. We have also been advised that they are likely to focus on… David Teeger,” the organization said in a statement.
“CSA has decided that David should be relieved of the captaincy for the tournament,” Cricket South Africa added. “This is in the best interests of all the players, the SA U19 team, and David himself,” adding that there was a risk of “conflict or even violence.”
Pro-Israel protesters were removed by police “for their own protection” in Sydney, Australia and London, England.
NSW Police has defended the removal of a protester waving an Israeli flag at a pro-Palestine rally on Monday, claiming it was for ‘his own safety’.
Around 1,000 protesters flocked to Sydney’s Town Hall on Monday evening for a Free Palestine rally in the wake of reignited violence between Palestine and Israel.
The rally kicked off with various chants including ‘Resistance is justified when Palestine is occupied’, ‘Israel, Israel you can’t hide you’re committing genocide’ and ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.’
But police leapt into action when a man, who has since been identified as Sydney businessman Mark Spiro, was carrying an Israeli flag – which he had not even unfurled – before three police officers dragged him away.
In an video of the incident, filmed by Daily Mail Australia, Mr Spiro can be heard repeatedly saying ‘I’ve done nothing wrong’.
An officer told him: ‘You’ve been arrested in relation to a breach of the peace.’
On Tuesday morning, NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Tony Cooke defended the decision to arrest Mr Spiro, claiming his presence ‘could have caused significant risk to him and others’.
‘I understand his view… (but) it was necessary,’ Mr Cooke said. ‘In the circumstances the best option for us was to take the actions we did.’
Jews are being censored, suspended and even arrested for “their own protection” while Jihadists and their allies gleefully rampage across the civilized world.

Time to get rid of the moslem plague for their protection,and send them to hell.

Recall someone once said something about *sacrificing freedom for security,*….and it has been said that this is a very bad thing.
Now, it is being done by others…people other than those who may need security…and these *others* claim it’s all about *protecting* them. It’s more like taking their freedom.
It’s a win for all the ghouls who hate and wish to silence or kill those whom they hate. The ghouls don’t risk jail time, but get what they want; at least partially.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
I think that the quote that you are referring to is one from Benjamin Franklin:
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

somehistory says
James, thank you for the information.
I couldn’t remember it exactly and couldn’t recall who said it…although I knew it was a long time ago by someone who had a working brain and knew of what he spoke.
James Lincoln says
You’re welcome somehistory, and best wishes.
Jim says
The term you are referring to is “FOR THOSE WHO GIVE UP THEIR FREEDOMS FOR A FALSE SENCE OF SECURITY, DESERVE NEITHER”

Mike says
Medaber: in Canada, what percentage of government-approved immigrants are Muslims these days, do you know?
Of course, it may be hard to tell, because if all the sundry migrants coming into Canada from Mexico and the U.S. recently.

How long before authorities say they cannot protect Jews in cities and we all have to go out to protection camps?
Jack Reynolds says
I was born and raised in MONTREAL but I moved away many, many decades ago.
.
In the Seventies the Jewish Community in Montreal was a little larger than the one in Toronto. That changed in the early Eighties, during the ANGLOPHONE EXODUS FROM QUEBEC.
.
ANTISEMITISM was bread into the Francophone portion of Quebec’s population by the Catholic Church. They didn’t like Protestant Anglophones either.
.
Do not hold your breath waiting for much to change in Quebec.The Province today has fewer Separatists but just as many ISOLATIONISTS.

SC says
The Libturd answer to everything. Just like every wife beater. “Look what you made me do”. “I’m doing this for your own good”.
In this case I am breaching your US constitution First Amendment rights to protect you from people who freely protest violently about their right to commit genoicide.
You need to get the ADL on the college and pull every Jewish contribution to the college. You also need to bring a civil lawsuit against the dean of studens and his management personally.
WPM says
The western world is becoming sharia complaint to try to appease the savage Jihadist Moslems it will only encourage more terrorist attacks ,because our leaders are projecting weakness with every appeasement. The Jihadist have no respect for weakness they will use it to their full advantage. Taking away the right to assemble from Jews or other non-Moslems ,taking away the right to associate on sporting teams or protest peacefully against people who mission in life is to kill you. This will end badly ,911 in America ,the Oct 7 terror attack in Israel ,the killing of journalists in their native France , the killing of elderly priest at mass in France ,the killing of Movie directors in the Neverlands ,the Killing of cartoonist in France ,the rape gangs by jihadist in blue collar cities in England ,the no go zones in Sweden ,appeasement gets you more violence ,more Jihad., If Islam left the earth forever tomorrow it would be a much more peaceful place, there would still be conflict but not on the scale we have today.
Derrick Bishop says
Well said.
JihadiJew says
God forbid we arrest Jihadis for our own protection.
Derrick Bishop says
They can’t be arias that would be islamophobic and besides the police and government s are afraid of them. The islamist are doing what they do best – spreading terror, fear and an evil belief system.
Joemc says
The terrorists have won in these countries. Not even the police will stand against them to protect innocent civilians – instead they arrest the innocents. Our governments are full of cowards.
