Please, please, there are many interesting people on the North Shore; write a story about them. Deborah Gamel dig@direct:ca The public debate over Doug Collins and the Canadian Jewish Congress has gotten out -of proportion. Can we no longer tell the dif ference between “reel” and ‘real’ life”? Where is the Canadian Jewish Congress’ sense of, priorities? We are still fortunate in Canada to allow eccentrics like Collins to express . their. views, Must questioning Holocaust numbers necessarily be interpreted as hate? Whatever Collins’ motive, the worst you could accuse him of is: insensitivity, And since when were Hollywood films a depiction of real life? In Israel, the Orthodox Jews are proposing a law that discriminates against Jewish citizens by giving them the sole right to conduct Jewish conversions, According to the Jerusalem Post, state which legally discriminates against its own citizens by distinguishing between “kosher” and “flawed” Jews, thereby, concurrently angering and alienating the vast majority of Jews in the rest of the world, The CJC is being intolerant of Collins? views but can they be as intolerant over this proposed law which may give rise to hatred to minorities in Israel? This law contradicts the United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights which Israel signed. tr would be ironic if the CJC did not come to the defence of minority rights in Israel while attempting to censor Collins’ remarks which in * comparison are as hateful as a yelping lap dog.
