Watch closely. Look at those monsters. The women are smiling and taking photos as the children dance in the crowd, celebrating Jewish children being back in coffins. I have never seen a more barbaric and animalistic society than the people of Gaza. They’re demons on Earth.
A long post but sadly needed.
When I am asked why I am so outspoken against hate and antisemitism, I have to pause for a moment because I’m not sure how anyone can be silent. Take a look at what happened just yesterday when families, children and participants at the @UJAWalk, became the direct target of vile antisemitic hatred.
Peaceful participants were met with cheers for Hamas and the glorification of terror, a masked mob of hate finding their way through a field behind the JCC building to terrorize families, openly threatening their lives, gleefully calling for the death of Jews, giving a $ “award” to anyone who can identify Jews marching in the walk, having children hold up signs with swastikas…the list goes on.
While I would normally not allow any space for their vile bigotry on my platform, it is important to highlight the dark and twisted reality of what we are fighting against and who we are fighting for. Allies, please step up. This fight cannot and must not rest on the Jewish community alone.
Immense gratitude to our police services who took swift action but this cannot become the norm in our country. The fact that such a heavy police presence was needed should be a stark reminder that by appeasing antisemitism and emboldening hate for 8 months, Canada has failed our Jewish community.
Yesterday will be remembered not for their hateful attempts to harass and intimidate but for the strength and resilience of the Jewish community standing together in peace, in hope and in unity. Hate will not win.

Golda Meir in 1970:
“People say to us ‘pull back to the borders of 1967 and then there will be peace’. We were at those borders in 1967; why was there a war?… The quarrel with Palestinians is not over land. They just refuse to believe that we have a right to exist at all.”
Though I’d never met the man, @thedavidcrosby ‘s voice and words and melodies have brought so much joy to me. Will miss hearing his viewpoint on the world. 😢#RIPDavidCrosby
