Where are the extremists here? Also Brampton is 20% Sikh. So they already have a major presence there.

Generally I have no concerns with anyone protesting for any reason. I may or may not agree with them but it is their right to protest. Be they truckers, Khalistanis or pro-Palestinians as long as they don't indulge in violence.

On a side note, being pro-Palestinian is the most noble endeavor of the three anyway. We all should be pro-Palestine. They are a people. They exist. And they are oppressed. Don't confuse my anti-Hamas, pro-Israeli stance for being anti-Palestine.

That’s all fine and noble. Not everyone is. And the hard fact of the matter is that Jewish people are victims of hate crimes far more. Far more than other group. Just statistical facts.

And there is no legitimate reason to intentionally protest in residential neighborhoods.

The post was fake.
" The poster circulating online says, “Bikers for Hamas planning to ride through the Toronto Jewish community” on Saturday Oct. 28. But the organizers said Friday that the poster was manipulated and they do not plan to drive through Jewish neighbourhoods. The “Car Ride for Palestine” will head from Pickering Town Centre in Durham Region to a Toronto4Palestine rally in Nathan Phillips Square."

Good to hear however the behavior/actions of Palestinians in Canada leads credence that this is true. It's unfortunate.

No I don't think so. I think that is the point of the protest, to point out or create awareness about anything they feel is anti-Palestinian, or racist, especially amongst a specific community that is expected to be so. What they should not do however, is to engage in violence or as you say intimidatory behaviour. Peacefully, holding a protest and attempting to send a message is fine. Also those areas are not 100% Jewish anyway. All kinds of people live there.

Disagree. When protesting, you do NOT go to individual areas or target individuals. You protest organizations or institutions, this (turns out to be fake) this protest rally was against individual people that are not responsible for the violence in the Middle East.

You REALLY misunderstand the nature of protests and what is acceptable. Just when I think you're rational with a mix of wrong/right opinions, you state this absolutely boneheaded shit. :rolleyes: You really don't get it do you.

At your core, you really don't know the difference between what forms the basis of Civilization & the Rule of Law versus what forms the basis of Anarchy & Violence.

Unless of course you believe that they are naturally responsible merely because of their identity and religion. God I hope you don't hold THAT opinion. That's Frankie-level stupidity.

And no Israeli supporter here has condemned:
the occupation
the blockade
apartheid
settler terrorism
genocide
3000 dead children

Congrats on now making yourself more evil than Hamas.

Imagine trying to walk through this crowd and explain how you support blowing up Palestinian children because....

Imagine that all around the world there are only a few countries that support Israel's war.
Everywhere else you will be received as a genocidal, racist monster.

You are not speaking your mind. You are beating around the bush. This is not about the protest. This is about your opinion of who is protesting and for what. That is racism, not reason. Similarly, you are not pro-Israel. You are not anti-Palestine. You are simply, anti-Muslim. You need to take stock of what you feel, instead of unloading a whole bunch of nonsensical and racist stereotypes as if they are true just because in your mind it all makes perfect sense.

As far as protests go, yes they can be held anywhere. As long as they have the necessary approvals from the authorities, do not indulge in any violence, they can protest.

Pro-Palestinian protests are not "against" individual people, or more specifically against Jews - that does not make sense. You don't protest against people. You protest for a cause.

I'm all for peaceful protests but I've seen some protests where pro Palestinians try to burn an Israel flag....that's provocation....Will it happen everytime? Don't think so but when emotions run high, who knows how a protest ends up.

There are no Hamas supporters here or in Canada.
They are Palestinian supporters.

Stop that lie already, it just confirms you are racist.

Really? "Kill the Jews" "From the river to the sea" Those phrases shouted and on signs at the pro-Palestinian demonstrations aren't against Jews?

Seems to me they promote the annihilation of the Jewish people...
