Ottawa considering hate charges against those who boycott Israel - Politics - CBC News

Granted, this is a story from the CBC so it's no doubt slanted to put the Conservatives in a bad light, but I hope it's soon refuted by the government. People of good conscience can disagree on the merits of a boycott, but it's hard to think of such an activity as an expression of 'hate speech'. What would be the alternative? Forcing people and/or organizations to purchase items from Israel to demonstrate that they don't 'hate'?

Dumb idea... dumb story... imho.
