Yves Archambault owns a shoe store called Le Marcheur on St. Denis Street in Le Plateau, a hip neighbourhood in Montreal.

For the last 25 years, he’s been selling shoes from all over the world.

On Oct. 2, Archambault received a formal demand from a radical left-leaning organization threatening to picket in front of his shop to “make St. Denis an Israeli Apartheid Free Zone”.

These extremists did not want to see shoes made in Israel sold on the Plateau. More than that, they wanted a great purge of all products from the Jewish state.

Even though he is not Jewish and the Israeli shoes in his store represent less than 2% of his sales, Archambault refused to give in to this blackmail. He has been selling these quality shoes for over 15 years. Apolitical, he simply refused to accept a handful of ideologues dictating to him what to sell and not to sell.

Every Saturday since the beginning of October, in the best trading hours, a dozen activists have blocked the entrance of his store with anti-Israel signs and distribute tracts calling for the boycott of his store, harassing his clients.

On Dec. 11, a local Member of the National Assembly (MNA), Amir Khadir, joined the protesters with well-known communist leaders.

This elected official, paid by taxpayers, set about to harm a small storekeeper in his constituency who sells a legal product coming from a country with which Canada has a free-trade agreement.

From his involvement with an “Islamo-Marxist” organization to his public support of George Galloway, a propagandist paid by Iranian state TV, this is not Khadir’s first controversy on Middle East issues.

A non-practising Muslim born in Iran, Khadir co-leads the ultra-left party Quebec Solidaire and is the only Solidaire MNA.

He does not support certain Islamist causes out of religious conviction but participates instead in an anti-imperialism alliance between the extreme left and the Islamists that are coalescing everywhere else in the western world.

Even if polls suggest Khadir is currently the most popular MNA in Quebec, he did not gather support for his boycott campaign.

Last Saturday, my friends and I organized a “BUYcott.” We all went to buy a pair of shoes from Archambault. More than 150 people broke the picket-line and went to Le Marcheur.

We beat the economic terrorism of the radical left one pair of shoes at a time.

Many political columnists were also quick to support our BUYcott and condemn Khadir’s tactics of intimidation.

The BUYcotters reaction of outrage and the almost unanimous condemnation by the Quebec press is very reassuring.

Let’s remember Quebecers were the first in the whole Commonwealth to elect a Jew when they elected Ezechiel Hart MNA of Trois-Rivieres in 1807. Since it was not permitted for a Jew to occupy such a function at the time in the British Empire, another election was called and people from Trois-Rivieres re-elected Hart to the astonishment of our British rulers.

Khadir is not going to make Quebecers turn our backs today on our great heritage of a few centuries of tolerance and friendship with Jews.

"Medical research suggests that while British Pakistanis are responsible for 3% of all births, they account for one in three British children born with genetic illnesses. The question to think about is: Could the practice of interbreeding be the key to the success and longevity of Islam? Could it be that the genetic and mental illnesses borne of interbreeding are a factor in the unquestioning nature of the majority of Muslims regarding spirituality? "

Are you sure about that? All the videos I see of EDL demos always include Israeli flags, and plenty of the group's official statements often mention solidarity to Israel, radical Islam's most hated foe.

You may have a problem with Israel, but I don't think the officials of EDL do.

There are a lot of members here who support Israel and stories like this have relevance on this forum.

If you think that after 6 posts on these boards that you have any say in what gets posted you are very much mistaken.

The EDL are fighting the same fight as Israel in that we are both rejecting the islamist agenda which ultimately demands an end to the Jewish state and the subjugation of Christendom to Islam.
Nowhere in that post was zionism referred to as the reason the boycott should be broken, it was an act of solidarity between two opressed groups against the islamist/left alliance.

If, by zionism you mean Israel, why don't you email the EDL jewish division and ask what they think, better still why not email Tommy?

It really pisses me off when new members come on here laying down the law and dictating to others what it is the EDL stands for and supports.

If your posts are an indication of what we should expect from you in the future, please take your rare posts, that support your opinions, elsewhere.

The EDL support comes from wide range of people of different political backgrounds. You may think that Zionists have no place within the EDL but that is far from the case. We share objectives with them and for this reason are welcome in the EDL. As the EDL welcomes all people who share in the fight against radical Islam. Their contribution to the EDL is as welcome and valid as yours.

Methinks you best check again. Usually when one uses the term "zionist" you kind of tip your hand all at once...

The EDL has no special love for Israel. No more than it has for the southern Sudanese or Pakistani Christians. However, we do have a special interest in the monomania far leftists, far rightists and Muslims have with Jews and Israel, which we take to be psychologically disturbing.

The fact that many EDL members support Israel may be because this country is surrounded by genocidal Islamists and Muslims intent on exterminating it in the most perfect act of jihad which could possibly happen.

See any connections or relevance here - sceptics in the EDL? This will be the case for England if we don’t stop listening to the leftist and anti-Zionist propaganda which many seemed to have swallowed in full. Don’t the sceptics at least think that the EDL can learn many lessons from the Israel-Palestine situation?

Total bollocks. The BNP sewer-rats are all over this forum in the last couple of weeks. (Maybe they are UAF pretending to be BNP - I know some people who voted for the BNP even though they are non-white, a result of a political system that offers so few options.)

Guramit has gone out of his way to help the EDL Jewish Division - and you don't get more zionist than them. And FWIW, I'm a zionist too - the PLO said that if Israel was destroyed, there still would be no Palestinian state, it would be Jordan all the way to the sea.

When EDL had the demo for Israel outside the Israeli Embassy, Kev Carroll said: "If believing that Israel has every right to exist, then I am a zionist". If you want proof, I'll dig out a copy of the speech he read out. In case "little englander" you haven't noticed, Kev and Tommy are both leaders of EDL.

At the UAF conference a couple of weeks ago they accused EDL of being zionist. And your very own BNP leaders accused EDL of being zionist back in September 2009:

http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/blog/article/520/BNP-blame-Zionists-for-EDL

Please produce a copy of the alleged email from Guramit, including the headers, then we can ask Guramit if you are a lying BNP troll or not.
