So Much For Loving Jews

The hatred continued Saturday afternoon in downtown Toronto – right outside the Israeli consulate – when about 200 angry Israel haters blocked the busy Bloor and Yonge intersection raging for two hours about the Jewish state, the police and white supremacists who allegedly oppress both Palestinians and blacks.

The “Days of Rage” event was one of two in the GTA – the other took place in Mississauga – and among seven held in US cities and Canada from July 1-4 to protest the plan by the Israeli government to annex parts of the West Bank. That plan has been put on hold.

The well-organized protest, held not uncoincidentally on Shabbat, was attended by the usual suspects such as Stephen Ellis, head of Toronto’s BDS Coalition, Kafir Bangis, who sits on the Al Quds committee, along with the three Neturei Karta rabbis/self-loathing Jews trotted out at every anti-Israel protest.

Despite the scorching sun, the protesters, were unrelenting in their vitriol, chanting for hours and making outrageous claims about Israel like Gaza is an “open air prison,” that 500-800 Palestinians are jailed by the Israelis per year and that unspeakable “atrocities” are carried out against women imprisoned in Gaza.

Members of the Black Lives Matter movement spoke about their solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The president of the York Federation of Students, in fact, referred to last November’s violent clash at York University – when anti-Israel protesters tried to disrupt former IDF members from speaking – as the “same fight for liberation” as that experienced by the black community.

Meanwhile Hawkins, posted on Instagram Saturday that for the past six weeks she’s been harassed by “white supremacist Muslim-hating losers” but she won’t stop posting her anti-Zionist messages until “Palestine is free”.
