Clearly Inaccurate Perceptions of Anti-Semitism...?

"If Israel is so advanced then why can't they avoid shooting defenceless paramedics and journalists, unless they're killing innocent people deliberately!"
"Israel's injustice and arrogance can no longer be defended and people are wise to Israel's tired old rhetoric."
"[Israeli forces were aiming higher than 6 million [to wipe out the Palestinians]. I wonder if #Israel borrowed this from the #Nazis after they saw how successful they were?"
"#Gaza is the new #Auschwitz."
Rana Zaman, former NDP candidate, Human Rights Commission honouree

"[Zaman the recipient of an] Individual Award [for her] extraordinary advocacy efforts in bringing together diverse communities in Halifax. [The annual awards from the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission represent part of an effort to] demonstrate a commitment to advancing human rights and enhancing equity and inclusion in their community."

What this woman wrote on June 3rd  and 8th, 2018 has come back to reveal her as anything but an advocate for 'enhancing equity and inclusion' in her community, much less demonstrating a 'commitment to advancing human rights'. She now, given the highlight her abandoned comments made, certainly regrets having informed the public of her canted view of history and current events. Although the tweets she posted back in June of 2018 likening Israel to Nazi Germany and the 'Occupation' to the Holocaust, were removed, an alert B'nai Brith Canada took screen shots of them.

After which notification the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission made haste to issue a press release stating the action it has taken to "formally rescind[ed]" the award given to Ms. Zaman. The press release went on to explain that its award committee "was unaware of public statements made by Ms.Zaman that were directly contrary to the principles of the award" before the award was made. Despite which the commission spokesperson chose not to state whether the decision was related to the offending tweets.

Rana Zaman appears well known in her community as a Muslim advocate appealing for denunciation of 'Islamophobic' comments that appear online. She had written an op-ed piece in a provincial newspaper declaring social media groups "need to be  held accountable for allowing their platforms to be used to target minority groups with hate speech". And then proceeded to make an example of the misuse herself. It appears evident that her concerns for the welfare in public opinion of Islam are equally matched by her venomous hatred of Israel.

She has subsequently issued an apology for airing her opinion as she did, despite their being quite specific and entirely consonant with the kind of slanderous accusations usually issued by those in the Muslim-Canadian community. The public is left to conjecture which of her sympathies are sincere, those portraying Israel as a Nazi enterprise practising genocide, or her later sentiment in apologizing that her views were "inappropriate, hurtful and sadly may be perceived as anti-Semitic."
