I started this blog in 2009 as a way to tell people about the pro- and anti-Israel events I was witnessing in Toronto but I've decided it's time to close up shop.

Coren was fantastic!
As Coren spoke, York student Jesse Zimmerman, who is often seen at anti-Israel events in Toronto, could be heard interjecting unintelligible sounds and words such as "Palestine!" from the back of the room. He started out not too loud and gradually gained Josephinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03617496175386782812noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6179210018908750296.post-17286461637907827052011-02-07T03:05:00.002-05:002013-05-12T21:24:12.053-04:00Anti-Mubarak Rally, Queen's Park, February 5, 2011

Blazing Cat Fur and Five Feet of Fury have reports on the bizarre mishmash of people at the rally today.
As Dutch says, the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt are following the model of the French Revolution rather than the American Revolution. It's not promising for those of us who value democracy as embodied by Western civilization.

Look how this QuAIA person (I believe this is Kathy Wazana) treated this woman in a burka. All because the woman in the burka was carrying a truthful sign about Islamic intolerance. The QuAIA person (Kathy Wazana) was using an expensive camera; she didn't need to get that close. It looks like there's another guy filming up close in the bottom photo.
