Shameful and disgusting that Canada lets this take place in Queens Park! Hey Canadians--Wake Up!

Golan ,   modiin   (09.05.11)
I did not hear shalom or Jesus bless... but this is not about Islamic fascism... I guess its Budhist...
3. Anti-Zionism IS anti-Semitism
Menachem ,   Israel   (09.05.11)

else as antisemitism.So is antiharedism.
6. It is a crucial task to exposing ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.05.11)
the lies and telling the truth in foreign antisemitic-pseudo antizionist-media.Some journalists do it remarkably well. But sometimes arguments from primitive people can be so exasperating,making it hard to keep the discussion purely in ideas,without getting personal. Which is to bad,because the initial aim of the journalist is to decrease antisemitism. A short break might be a good idea.
7. Antizionism can never turn into antisemitism
Andrew Brehm   (09.05.11)
Antizionism already is antisemitism. If it were not, it would be called "antinationalism" and its followers would oppose any form of nationalism (not just Jewish such) and would oppose primarily those countries where nationalism has grown into a far worse monster than in Israel (for example most Arab states).
8. Karen Brothers: You are being used!
Yitzhak ,   Israel   (09.05.11)
The contrast in tone and content of Karen Brothers from the United Church of Canada and the bloodthirsty, racist messages of the Muslims at this rally couldn't have been any clearer. Yhe UCC must disavow their support for this pro-Iranian and pro-Hezbollah rally, not for the sake of the Jews, but for the sake of Christian Canadians whose church is being morally undermined by associating with terrorists and antisemites.

10. all readers
gdfathermax ,   tel aviv israel   (09.05.11)
should know that there is no difference between anti zionism and anti semitism. In england today jews tell their friends to speak softly when discussing israel. Why ? Because they are scared of any backlash.
11. Hitler claimed Holocaust motivated by Anti-Zionism.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.05.11)
There is no difference between Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism. Anyone who wants to deny Jews of our sole Homeland is an Anti-Semite. It doesn't matter if that person is a Jew. Self hatred among leftist Jews, in particular, is all too common. Hitler himself claimed that it was the Jewish desire to create our own state, Zionism, which ultimately pushed him to try to exterminate the Jewish people.
12.  a couple of screaming islamists
celine woland ,   austria   (09.05.11)
with a portrait of khomeini, they are antisemites by nature....people walk by, nobody gives a sh..
13. antisemitism is origin of antizionism
yonatan silverman ,   tel aviv israel   (09.06.11)
people in the world who reject and discredit zionism are people who start by hating jews and desire to see the termination of jewish life and the jewish people - the people who make a whole industry of jew hatred and the antizionism this creates are the world's muslims
14. don't be fooled
jl ,   galos   (09.06.11)
into the same extreme paradigm of israel's (am/eretz) enemies. the nature and language of anti-zionism indeed overlaps with that antisemitism, but they are not to be equated as one in the same. to be critical of israel as a country, like any other country, is a right all concerned parties should exercise. however, these lunatics are exclusively tuned into the reality of myth. we cannot fight fire with fire. we can neither submit to the state in a totalitarian-like fashion. balance must be attained within if we are to combat the madness that exists without.
15. This is Wrong!!!
DTorre ,   NYC USA   (09.06.11)
This is wrong. Israel is not a cancer. Opposing Zionism is one thing, but Jew hatred is despicable and should not be tolerated. These people should have been arrested.
16. What a nonsense
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.06.11)
Difference beetwen antisemitism and antizionism is like beetwen stupidity and foolish act.
