ATTENDEES AT PALESTINE EVENT HAVE GONE INTO HIDING

   The host of the Parliament Hill meeting isn’t talking. And the guests that were portrayed alongside invitee Nazih Khatatba –whose Mississauga-based newspaper Meshwar has promoted Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism— issued brief and tepid statements before going into hiding.

   Honest Reporting Canada has thoroughly documented Khatatba’s rantings. According to HRC’s Mike Fegelman, on November 16, Khatatba asked on his Facebook page why Zionist organizations are “afraid of opening the Holocaust file” – suggesting they are “hiding something.”

   On Nov. 23, a Meshwar article, translated from Arabic, described terror bombing attacks on innocent Israelis – who were either murdered or maimed – as “beautiful.”

   But many questions remain as to how he was invited to an event hosted by The Canada-Palestine Friendship Group, chaired by Liberal MP Salma Zahid.
