The Jerusalem Post picked up on HonestReporting Canada's campaign against Toronto Sun columnist Eric Margolis. On January 12, Margolis wrote on his personal web site:
It now seems clear the last disastrous act of the Bush administration was giving Israel a green light to launch its final solution campaign against the Hamas government in Gaza.
Unfortunately, Margolis is just the tip of the iceberg. Amir Mizroch noted how anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers around the world sought to hijack yesterday's international Holocaust Memorial Day by linking it to the Gaza situation.
HR Canada is pushing for the Sun to reconsider keeping Margolis as a columnist. Director Mike Fegelman explained why:
What Margolis wrote is inflammatory and ridiculous and we think the media should reconsider using him because of his comments," Fegelman said. "This qualifies as anti-Semitism according to both the European Union and the US State Department's definition.
The columnist has previously insinuated that Israel killed Rafik Hariri, Yasser Arafat and Zia Ul-Haq, rationalized terror, misrepresented the road map, and spuriously linked Israel to Abu Ghraib, So there's definitely a case to dump Margolis.
