Shoeless Jews: This letter appears in the National Post:

Re: Getting To The Root Of Hate, letter to the editor, Sept. 27.

Letter writer Frank Dimant, executive vice-president of B'nai Brith Canada, defends the hate crime law used against the young man who painted swastika graffiti, in case he became like the "unknown high school drop out named Adolf Hitler." This shows that B'nai Brith is attempting to remove all thorns from the road instead of teaching Jews to wear strong-soled shoes

The Nazi phenomenon occurred in a unique set of political, social and economic circumstances that can never reoccur. Instead of enjoying the publicity of swatting flies, B'nai Brith and other Jewish leaders should attend to their real mortal enemies -- the ones who call them apes and pigs and desire their extermination.

Since hate is a natural human emotion, our hate speech laws are an affront to human dignity and freedom. In the interests of the larger Canadian community, Jewish leaders, who originally pressed for these repressive laws, should now work to abrogate them. Better still, work to get rid of the whole human rights political machine.

Jiti Khanna, Vancouver.

I don't know about that "can never reoccur" part: it's "reocurring" at this very moment via the eliminationist agenda. However, I do agree that it's high time Frank and the other thorn-removers drop the security blankie, eschew the thin-soled Florsheims, and invest in a sturdy pair of Doc Martens.

Regarding this issue, I'm often reminded of the old adage that generals are always preparing to fight the last war and not the next.

Exactly. The Jewstablishment is fighting "Nazis" not the current eliminationists.

Aboriginal Moccasins would be more earth friendly.
