"The Jews are our dogs"
Here is the video I promised from Montreal's anti-Semitic street rally:
Imagine if hundreds of Canadians marched, some in KKK white sheets, calling blacks "our dogs". You can make your own example -- if it were any other group besides Jews being demonized.
Or, frankly, any other group other than radical Muslims doing the demonizing. If a thousand skinheads had marched, burning Stars of David, calling Jews "dogs", and swearing a bloody death to Jews, you can imagine the response -- starting with the SWAT team.
This is the real problem. Israel can handle itself in Gaza. It's a good symbol that we side with the democracy against the terrorist group, but it's just symbolism.
Marches like this one, in the streets of Canada, are the bigger problem. Waving the terrorist flag of Hezbollah; singing praise for Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah; calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.
They didn't have YouTube back in Germany in the 1930s, but I bet the S.A. marches looked a lot like this.
If this goes unchecked -- if the Prime Minister, the Premier, the Mayor of Montreal don't sharply rebuke this Lord of the Flies anti-Semitic flourish, this domestic recreation of the Durban hate-fest -- then, as sure as night follows day, we'll have our own Kristalnacht.
Because, really: how many steps is it from masked men waving terrorist flags, calling Jews dogs and burning the Star of David, to breaking some windows and torching some shops?
Montreal Jews can ask Parisian Jews how long it took. Not long.
