The prosecution may need to drop the charges brought against me for purportedly harassing Dahlia Kurtz. They can\u2019t possibly want the Zionist fanatic to testify.<\/p>\n

Two months ago, the police charged me for \u201charassing\u201d Kurtz<\/a>. The case is absurd. I\u2019ve never met Kurtz. Nor have I messaged or emailed or phoned her. Nor have I threatened her. I don\u2019t even follow her on X.<\/p>\n

My only interaction with Kurtz was responding to her racist, violent, anti-Palestinian posts on X. And in an article, I once I mentioned that a major paper profiled Kurtz.<\/p>\n

Last summer Kurtz went to the police to seek charges against me. They investigated Kurtz\u2019s claims but the prosecutor decided there wasn\u2019t sufficient evidence to press charges so the file was closed. But when lawyer and Conservative Party candidate Neil Oberman sent a legal letter to the police on Kurtz\u2019s behalf in mid-December the file was reopened. (In a bit of good news Oberman lost in Monday\u2019s election and the Superior Court of Quebec recently dismissed his bid to scuttle the McGill student union\u2019s non-Zionist antisemitism policy).<\/p>\n

The prosecutor likely isn\u2019t going to want Kurtz to testify against me. She seems more unhinged than ever. In response to the initial signs of a Liberal election victory she posted \u201cCOMING SOON: The Islamic Republic of Canada.\u201d Subsequently, Kurtz posted that she was moving to Florida due to Mark Carney\u2019s win. \u201cIt\u2019s official\u201d, she wrote. \u201cI\u2019m moving to Florida. I am not safe in Canada. And this is how Florida appreciates Jews \u2014 and humanity. I am meeting with immigration lawyers tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not kidding. Also \u2013 this will make my fight for Western civilization stronger than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurtz has also claimed Monday\u2019s election was rigged. \u201cWho thinks Canada\u2019s election was rigged?\u201d, she posted next to a hands up emoji.<\/p>\n

I spent five days in jail to defeat conditions the Crown sought to impose on me restricting my ability to mention Kurtz\u2019s name. Otherwise, I wouldn\u2019t be allowed to mention any of this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a lawyer but how could a judge find me guilty of \u201charassing\u201d Kurtz without her testifying. Yet the prosecution can\u2019t possibly want to put the genocidal Jewish supremacist on the stand where her claims and views could be interrogated.<\/p>\n

Part of me doesn\u2019t want the prosecution to drop the charges. I\u2019d like the opportunity to watch Kurtz explain herself in court. And I\u2019m sure there are many others who would also want to witness the spectacle.<\/p>\n

A month ago, Birju Dattani launched a defamation suit against Kurtz. Dattani was appointed Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission but Kurtz and others smeared him as anti-Jewish without any evidence.<\/p>\n

On Friday my court date for purportedly \u201charassing\u201d Kurtz and a Montreal police officer was postponed until July 14. At that point a date should be set for a trial unless the prosecution comes to its senses and drops the absurd charges.<\/p>\n

Rather than doing the dirty work of an unhinged genocide supporter the police and prosecutors should be looking into Montrealers who\u2019ve committed crimes in Gaza.<\/p>\n
