Since March CIJA representatives have met staff from the Prime Minister’s Office and Public Safety Canada, as well as the director of CSIS and multiple MPs, to discuss stripping the citizenship of Israel critics. In part, CIJA’s push to revoke citizenship is simply a racist dog whistle to smear anti-genocide protesters. They are promoting the idea that Muslims/Arabs/Brown people are importing antisemitism/extremism/terrorism.

But there’s also a more concrete aim. They want a new way to discipline/scare opponents of genocide and Israel’s endless crimes across the region.

The scope of Carney’s support for the lawless genocidal Jewish supremacist state is stunning. In the last few days, his government granted Netanyahu access to Canadian skies, a Liberal MP was punished for voting against arms shipments and they labelled it racist to oppose this century’s leading racist movement.

The term “terrorist” functions as a new form of invalidation—casting suspicion on everyone—and as a way to render absurd any discourse or action that is unsettling, revolutionary, or aimed at social emancipation. The West wields this anathema unreservedly and unfailingly to silence and discredit all armed opposition. Zionism makes excessive use of the “terrorist” label, with the particular habit of indiscriminately adding the charge of “antisemitism” to the mix—to the point where even my dog ​​could be called antisemitic. Branding someone a terrorist or an antisemite justifies every kind of duplicity
