Montreal Distinguishes Itself - Again

Entertainment by all means.  People do enjoy being entertained.  Clever comics can leave people feeling quite good about themselves.  If they're clever enough they can leave them rolling in the aisles with laughter.  In the crowd that turns out to see French comic Dieudonne M'Bala M'bala the gales of laughter will be all about those scum of the Earth agents, the Jews.

This entertainer enjoys a certain popularity with a certain demographic that has no problem with expressing their disgust at the presence in their midst of Jews.  Nor do they harbour any doubts that the Holocaust either did not occur, or if it did, it was not successful enough, for Jews still remain to be an affliction upon the world.

Montreal's largest concert promoter rented a prime downtown theatre to host four performances in the coming week, showcasing this outstanding comic.  The show to be presented is the very same one that Belgian police are investigating as anti-Semitic hatred.  In France, the mayor of Angers stopped Dieudonne from using an auditorium there, pushing him to the outskirts.

Montrealers, clearly, are far more cosmopolitan, more readily given to appreciating clever barbs to prick the pride and heritage of Jews.  Tickets for the four shows are moving rapidly for sold-out performances.  The promoter, Evenko, part of the Montreal Canadiens operation declined to field queries about the comic's presentation at the Corona Theatre.

The show in question, Rendez-nous Jesus (Give us back Jesus), has been identified as "a long litany of anti-Semitic comments" by the Belgian press.  It features Holocaust denial, slurs against the Talmud and a casual remark about Adolf Hitler being "a nice boy". 

Coincidentally, Dieudonne M'bala M'bala has completed his first feature film, L'Antisemite, which just happens to have been subsidized by the Islamic Republic of Iran.  Small world, is it not?  Iran certainly gets around.  And true to form, birds of a feather do stick together.

In the film, a character played by Dieudonne declares: "It's clear the Jews control everything - the media, finance, politics.  We no longer have a choice.  We must exterminate them."

It's clear this is also the agenda of the Iranian regime.  Which has long tentacles in the most surprising places.  They are insidious, are they not.
