There is nothing wrong with being a Nazi, the editor of a small Canadian periodical accused of perpetuating negative stereotypes about Jews told the Toronto Star on Saturday.James Sears, the editor of Your Ward News, a local Toronto magazine, was under fire after publishing a collage portraying large-nosed Jews objecting to its distribution, according to the report. The illustration in question was a response to objections by a Jewish postal worker to distributing the paper.In a copy of the illustration posted online, a bearded postal worker with glowing red eyes, peyot and a kippa is shown holding a bagel and screaming: “It’s the Holocaust all over again.” In a second panel, two Jews with large noses are engaged in a conversation regarding Your Ward News.“Bernie, these goyim are meshuga, but where’s the hate,” one asked the other.“Keep looking Saul,” the second replies.While one Jewish leader told the Star that it was “a clear attempt at a hateful representation of Jews,” Sears disagreed.Queried if he is running a neo-Nazi magazine, Sears wrote the Star that “neither I nor the publication are ‘neo-Nazi’... NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT! Some of the nicest people I have ever met are Nazis, but we are not.”In an open letter to Canadian postal workers published in Your Ward News, Sears stated that the New Constitution Party of Canada, a group connected to and promoted in the magazine, “also love the Jewish people” but not the “illegitimate Zionist apartheid State of Israel that holocausts the Palestinians whose land they stole.”The postal worker who expressed objections to distributing the magazine “obviously has personal demons that he should exorcise with his rabbi,” he added, volunteering to “sit down with him to provide counseling in the form of ZioMarxist deprogramming.”The party and the magazine, he added, are engaged in a battle with “the parasite” for the future of Canada.
