Hate's new face

By MICHAEL COREN

I received an e-mail last week from someone called Yusuf Patel, which read, "You are a crypto-Jew on top of being a little piece of (expletive). You love money more than anything because of your Jewish origin. You talk about fairness the same way FOX news is fair and balanced.

"You are out and out racist you little piece of (expletive). You came out of the gutters of England and you show your origin as soon as you open your (expletive) dirty mouth. You have no self-respect, but how can I expect that from a crypto-Jew! You have no sense of shame because you are a psychopath that means you have no conscience you donkey."

Such e-mails are entirely typical and are repeatedly sent to people who speak out in support of Israel, who oppose Islamic extremism or defend Christianity.

The people who write these letters assume that they can never be traced.

Not so. I have tracked death threats to New Zealand, the United States and Europe. All have been dealt with.

We found Yusuf Patel closer to home, in Mississauga, Ont.

Interestingly enough, someone by that name in the same town has written on the website of Holocaust denier David Irving, defending the right to question the Nazi slaughter of the Jews.

The Mr. Patel I telephoned denied that this was he, but readily admitted several times, with obvious pride, that he had indeed sent me the e-mail.

There was no sense that he thought he had been in any way abusive or unfair, no willingness to apologize, no acknowledgement that such hatred was unacceptable in a pluralistic and tolerant society.

Nor is Mr. Patel some young thug, but a soft-spoken senior citizen.

If, however, you find this surprising and think that such attitudes are the preserve of neo-nazi skinheads, you are dramatically wrong.

Just days ago on British television, award-winning columnist and broadcaster Richard Littlejohn presented an extensive documentary on the new anti-Semitism.

In it he and his guests, mostly non-Jewish, explained how shocked they were that the majority of hatred of Jews seemed to come from white leftists and young Muslims.

Which leads to the irony of grotesque levels of racism in an e-mail accusing someone, entirely falsely, of being a racist.

The explanation is that a great deal of what was known as the anti-racist movement has been hijacked by an obsession with condemning the United States and Zionism.

We saw this during marches in Toronto and Montreal where left-wingers chanted that they were, "All Hezbollah Now!" The Islamic terror group in question is fascistic, theocratic and vehemently anti-gay and anti-feminist.

It stands, in fact, for almost everything socialism claims to oppose.

There is a similar disconnect with union boycotts of Israel.

While they have little support among union members, they do tell a frightening story.

Small pockets of, shall we say, anti-Zionist zealots manage to pass motions singling out Israel as the great Satan, even though the Jewish state is the single country in the Middle East where workers are allowed to form genuine unions.

As opposed to somewhere like Iran, where earlier this month the leader of the only free union in the country was beaten and abducted by security police.

Calls for a boycott? Don't be silly.

Then again, I'm probably not to be believed. After all, I'm just a crypto-Jew.

I bet this ranting foamer is a card carrying dipper and Babble poster.

Wouldn't Yusef Patel's rant to Mr. Coren be considered a "hate crime" under Canadian law? Aren't all forms of racism and religious intolerance illegal up there?
If this is so, why hasn't he been charged with a crime?

Or do these laws not apply to Jews, Christians, or white men?
Just wonderin'.

I was wondering if our human rights complainer is offended at this Muslim person for writing this to Mr. Coren?
