Steyn on Mississauga Muslims and 'Palestine House'
Mark Steyn wrote a short piece at National Review Online about the Mississauga Muslims and 'Palestine House' (Hat Tip: Memeorandum). Tomorrow night, for example, they're hosting the editor of the London newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi, Abd al-Bari Atwan. Mr Atwan is a celebrity eliminationist who declared on TV that "if the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight." Because Palestine House is government-funded, Mr Atwan's appearance to share this and other insights is effectively being underwritten by Canadian taxpayers.Canadian taxpayers aren't the only ones who subsidize Mr. Atwan's activities. He's a regular on the BBC (which is paid for by British taxpayers) as well as on Sky News in London. Neither of them seems to have much of an issue with Mr. Atwan's activities.
Yet any attempt to roll back funding for such organizations would be met by howls of protest that the government was attacking "immigrant groups" and "human rights". Lenin famously said the west would "sell us the rope by which we will hang them". He was underestimating our suicidal stupidity: We're happy to give it away.Maybe it's time to start ignoring the howls of protest and stand up to the political correctness.

Its about time Israel stopped ceding the PR front to its enemies and started fighting back.
As the ancient sage R. Hillel reminded us, "If I am not for myself, who will be for me?"
Sound advice for Israel to follow.
