To the owners of CanWest: We the undersigned say...
Drop your groundless legal suit against Mordecai Briemberg, and stop your political persecution of him.
The contentious issues related to the rights and actions of both Israelis and Palestinians, just like other contentious issues of public interest, require open discussion, one that encompasses a broad spectrum of differing perspectives. Any attempt to silence -- by harassment, intimidation or censorship -- the voices of those with whom one disagrees is anti-democratic and unacceptable.

Aux propriétaires de CanWest, nous, soussignés, disons :
Abandonnez votre poursuite sans fondement contre Mordecaï Briemberg et cessez votre persécution politique contre lui.
Les questions controversées reliées aux droits et aux actions des IsraélienNEs et des PalestinienNEs, comme toutes les autres questions controversées d'intérêt public, exigent un débat ouvert et englobant un large éventail de perspectives différentes. Toute tentative -- par le harcèlement, l'intimidation ou la censure -- de réduire au silence les voix de ceux ou celles dont on ne partage pas l'opinion est anti-démocratique et inacceptable.

Without freedom of the media, we have corporate-feudal rule and a brainwashed public.

Albert Einstein and many other prominent Jews warned us about the Zionists who had a different agenda, rather than the establishment of Israel and Palestine together, in this 1948 letter to the New York Times: http://www.physics.harvard.edu/~wilson/NYTimes1948.html

The media are supposed to protect freedom of speech, not restrict it

I am sick of the manipulation of public opinion that equates any criticism of Israel policy toward Palestinians as 'anti-semitic'. There will never be peace in the Middle East unless the inequities of 1948 are redressed and the humiliation of a people is stopped. The constant media bias, especially of CanWest, is morally repugnant. Long live dissent, debate and democracy!

The Pro-Israel bias of CanWest Global newspapers like the Vancouver Sun and Edmonton Journal are so obvious that they deserve parody. Attempts to silence those who point out and mock their bias is typical of the pro-Zionist support group. If you are not Jewish you are called "anti-Semetic" for valid criticisms of Israel's violations of International Law amd Human Rights of Palestinians. If you are Jewish you are called "Jew self hating". It is time that the biased coverage of CanWest Gobal was fully revealed and the suit against Mordecai should be thrown out.

I fully support Mordecai Briemberg; there need to be more people standing up for what they believe in. The Newspapers think they run this country. Silence only condones these matters.

As a subscriber to both the Vancouver Sun and The Province I am disturb to hear that CanWest is involved in this frivolous, undemocratic action. I doubt the CanWest empire will crumble from a little criticism of its news coverage but undermining the tenets on which a free press depends just might.

I want to lend my support to the Freespeech Committee. I am disgusted by CanWest's attempt to squelch fee speech and to squelch Mordecai Briemberg!

Des grandes entreprises monopolisent l'opinion publique et utilisent des stratégies totalitaires pour empêcher la dissidence. Quelle honte! Vous croyez encore en cette 'démocratie'?

Don't let the Media giant, Canwest throw it's weight around. It is Mordecai Briemberg who is getting sued this time and you might be the next one if you dare to disagree with Canwest.
# 1,010:
Free public discussion and advocacy of opinions is a basic democratic principle---generally understood to be a person's right--- that most Canadians & Americans accept as mainstream and fundamental. For a dominant media giant like Canwest to be engaged in a SLAAP suit because of its owner's /Asper family pro-Israel bias is an affront to democracy & public decency. With such a red flag for betrayal of public interest, the CRTC and all other government media oversight bodies should apply all legal limits to prevent any further expansion, acquisitions & media concentration by Canwest /Asper Family.
