On Sunday, dozens of people gathered near the Aish Hatorah synagogue in Thornhill, Ont., to protest an event that organizers say was aimed at helping people in the Toronto area buy property in Israel. They were met with pro-Israeli counterprotestors and Jewish leaders took issue with the Sunday protest taking place outside a synagogue.
But Pro-Palestinian protestors say companies associated with the event market property in the West Bank, where over two million Palestinians live under Israel’s military occupation, according to the United Nations (UN).
The UN, alongside Canada, consider Israeli settlements in the occupied territories to be in violation of international convention, with the federal government saying they “constitute a serious obstacle to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace.”
“There was no sales for anything in the West Bank, anything on disputed territory,” she said, noting the projects on offer were being built on “existing” and “established” areas.

Okay, so should we cancel democracy now because Israel’s genocide is making it impssible?
🤔

Yeah that must be it. Let’s wait 20 years until Israel has killed or ethnically cleansed the last Gazan in Gaza and then we Palestinians can wait for the good graces of Israel to allow us to have a democracy or decide that we are no longer undemocratic “savages”.
Lol.

The goal is to ethnically cleanse Palestine.
Israel will probably go after every pro-Pslestinian as they are doing now in other countries.
Anyone who is in their way has always suffered and will suffer more under apartheid and oppression.
