Discovering recently that anti-semites had managed to insert their noxious drivel into a discussion thread hosted by Chossudovskys website, Bnai Brith Canada did not simply alert him to the fact, so that he could take the obvious step of removing the hateful messages.

There are some obvious ironies here. Michel Chossudovsky is widely regarded as a leading interpreter and critic both of globalization and of the structural violence and military aggressions it has entailed. His lifes work as an economist and political analyst has been a finely articulated series of reproaches to injustices of all kinds, including the foulness of racism. And as it happens, members of his immediate family died at Auschwitz.
