   No kidding?  A "jewish group" would do that?  Don't they realize that   
   freedom of speech still exists in this country?   
   See Ezra Levant list of lawsuits for exercising same.   
      
   Apologies are not enough for "jewish groups".  Show them the money.

   Jewish group not satisfied with apology from Parti Québécois candidate   
      
   A Quebec Jewish group says the apology of a Parti Québécois candidate   
   who has been accused of anti-Semitic remarks is nothing more than   
   “meaningless excuses.”   
      
   Louise Mailloux, a staunch supporter of the PQ’s proposed secular   
   charter, came under fire last week for written comments equating the   
   Jewish practice of circumcision to rape.   
      
   Mailloux also suggested in an old blog post that the high price of   
   kosher goods is used to help fund Jewish activities and political   
   interests abroad.   
      
   The PQ candidate and philosophy professor issued an apology on Saturday   
   saying she didn’t mean to offend anyone and made the comments in the   
   context of a debate over religious accommodation in Quebec.   
      
   But Luciano Del Negro, a spokesman for the Quebec branch of the Centre   
   for Israel and Jewish Affairs, says the apology isn’t enough.   
      
   He says the PQ must “categorically disavow” the anti-Semitic theories   
   put forward by Mailloux.   
      
   PQ Leader Pauline Marois has stood by Mailloux and emphasized her party   
   does not harbour anti-Jewish views.   
      
   “Madame Mailloux adheres to the Parti Québécois program and adheres to   
   our attitudes and those are very respectful of people’s right to choose   
   their convictions and how they practise their religion,” Marois said Friday.   
      
   The PQ secular charter, which would forbid public employees from wearing   
   visible religious symbols including hijabs, turbans, kippas and larger-   
   than-average crucifixes, has sparked intense debate in Quebec and in   
   other parts of Canada.
