Look at the people in that image. They are protesting Canadian Jews because they’re angry at Jews on the other side of the world. It’s antisemitism.
We went through the same thing with the Antivaxxer Convy protests. Bunch of racist assholes back then were using their antivax bullshit as a reason to go out and harass random Asian people on the street.
This movement is no different. And how effective do you think your movement will in influencing government policy when the government is busy making policies to prevent your group from engaging in antisemitic attacks?
The point of this group is obviously not to change anything, and it’s turning into a hate group because no one within the group is speaking out against the antisemitism. Look at the image in the article I linked to. By their actions (harassing Canadian Jews at a synagogue), they are antisemitic people and how is anyone supposed to distinguish between that group of antisemitic assholes and any other “pro-Palestinian” protest? Given what I see posted here daily I’m doubting there is anyone that actually cares about Palestinians, it’s just an excuse to express hatred and fit in with the group expressing hatred. We’ve seen this kind of shit happen before.
In Canada, our grandparents fought a war against antisemitc assholes, so you aren’t going to intimidate very many Canadians into joining your cause when it’s entangled with antisemitsm and violence. If you’re looking the other way about antisemitism in your movement, you’re in a hate group and people will oppose it. If you really believed in your cause you wouldn’t feel the need to use violence to impose your views on others.
That’s a lot of rationalization and excuses for why you won’t speak out against the rampant racism within your group.
Here in Canada we’re needing to create protest bubbles to prevent people from harassing Canadian Jews: https://globalnews.ca/news/11265909/protest-law-blocking-school-place-fo-worshp/
