One of Canada\u2019s leading organizations combating antisemitism praised police in Ontario on Thursday for arresting and warning the publisher of a Polish-language newspaper that featured antisemitic content.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andrzej Kumor \u2014 publisher of the Mississauga-based publication\u00a0Goniec<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 was taken into custody last Sunday by police in the regional municipality of Peel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kumor used the paper to accuse Jews and Zionists of having \u201cterrorism in their blood,\u201d and claimed that \u201cJews are spying on you\u201d using the WhatsApp cellphone application.<\/span><\/p>\n

He further alleged that the governments of the United States and Poland were being controlled by sinister Jewish forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe salute the Peel Regional Police for their diligence in pursuing this matter, and hope that Mr. Kumor has learned his lesson,\u201d said Michael Mostyn, chief executive officer of B\u2019nai Brith Canada. \u201cIt is a criminal offense in Canada to wilfully promote hatred against an identifiable group. B\u2019nai Brith will continue to relentlessly pursue these incidents, so that incitement against the Jewish community and other groups cannot proceed with impunity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Police officers cautioned Kumor that any further promotion of hatred against Jews would result in charges being brought against him under the Criminal Code. They then released him without formal charges for the present at time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly afterward, the offending articles were all\u00a0deleted\u00a0from the\u00a0Goniec<\/em>\u00a0website, while the YouTube video in which Kumor had accused Jews and Zionists of having \u201cterrorism in their blood\u201d was\u00a0removed\u00a0from public view.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last October, Kumor ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the Polish parliament with the far-right Konfederacja (\u201cConfederation\u201d) party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Konfederacja has a long history of antisemitism, with its leader asserting in May 2019 that the \u201cAmerican empire here is the political and military tool of Jewish blackmail against Poland.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
