Their real names should be “Anti-Israel marches.”
MONTREAL — A demonstration billed as a protest for peace assumed a distinctly anti-Israeli flavour Sunday as protesters denounced the Jewish state for killing hundreds of Lebanese.
Children carrying two large Lebanese flags and adults who trailed behind accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of being an accomplice to Israeli murder.
“Israel terrorist, Harper accomplice,†members of the crowd shouted in unison as marchers left a downtown park on their journey through city streets.
Wow, sounds really peaceful to me. Got more?
While many participants claimed they weren’t singling out either side in the bloody conflict, some carried placards that linked Israel to Nazi atrocities during the Second World War.
“Israel learned from Hitler and the student has surpassed the master,†read one sign.
Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of thought one expects to find from a peacenik at a peace rally. Not.
And yet, although the lead, and indeed the angle, of the story is that the “peace” march wasn’t very peaceful, the headline is all about the peace.
What anti-Israel media bias?
Given the location; Montreal, what else would you expect. French canadian society has been saturated with french speaking Lebanese and those Quebecqois have had their own little ventures into the abyss of terrorism as well.
That society has been anti-semitic since they discovered jews (only since Wolfe defeated Montcalm) so it should come as no great shock that this occures. They love to point out the fact that there are many french speaking shepardic jews in Montreal, without mentioning that the primary reason that they tolerate them is because they are mostly from Morocco and are french speaking which is the predominate requirement for tolerating anyone in francophonia.
