letter to the Canadian Jewish News - re Aug 20th

In his letter to the editor Eric Mendelsohn wants each edition of the CJN to have an an op-ed column from the left and to ban the words "self-hating Jew", "naive" and "deluded". He wants one leftist op-ed in the CJN that is politically correct and has the correct sensibilities according to his eminently correct left wing standards. He phrases the request as a suggestion, but it is still a request to stifle freedom of the press. In effect, he is proposing that he, as head of the Jewish thought police, be the arbitrator of op-eds and wording in the CJN. This is fascism, not equivalency or balanced commentary. He has no right to dictate which words or op-eds the CJN should use. Islamists tried the same tactic, with the help of various human rights commissions, against Macleans but were unsuccessful. I hope the CJN stands up against Jewish left wing fascists as well as Macleans stood up against right wing Islamic fascists. Unfortunately for the Jewish community, there seems to be little substantial difference between these two groups. They both want to impose their wrong-headed ideological views on society.
