Shout Out To Some Righteous Canadians

These Canadians were at the rally to condemn that bastard yesterday.

Joelle Keypour an Iranian-Canadian who was draped in an Israeli flag, "My mom fled from the revolution in 1979, and I'm here to support her and my family and all oppressed Iranians."

Former Canadian minister of justice, Irwin Cotler.

Mr Cotler "is considered an expert on international law and human rights law. As an international human rights lawyer, Cotler served as counsel to former prisoners of conscience Nelson Mandela in South Africa, Jacobo Timmerman in Latin America, Muchtar Pakpahan in Asia, as well as other well known political prisoners and dissidents. Cotler represented Natan Sharansky, who was imprisoned in the Soviet gulag for Jewish activism. After his release, Sharansky went on to become Israeli Deputy Prime Minister."

"Dr. Irwin Cotler stood in defense of anti-jihadist Muslim journalist in Bangladesh, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, who faces sedition, treason and blasphemy charges in his own country for confronting radical Islam, for promoting interfaith understanding and for demanding relations between Dhaka and Jerusalem. According to Bangladeshi law, sedition bears capital punishment...As Minister of Justice, Cotler tabled Canada's first-ever National Justice Initiative Against Racism, in parallel with the government's National Action Plan Against Racism.

Cotler has also fought against genocide and impunity. His attempts to bring Nazi war criminals to justice have won praise as has been his founding of all-party Parliamentary groups to bring attention and action to end the genocide in Darfur. Cotler has worked with a group of international jurists to indict Iranian President Ahmadinejad for incitement to genocide under the UN Charter and the Genocide Convention.[citation needed] Cotler separated six categories of anti-Semitism and found thirteen indices of discrimination against Jews that characterizes the "new anti-Jewishness"."
