Nonsense. People rallied against Israel all over the country. It's not in support of terrorism. It sounds like a very right wing article in the Globe and Mail. If you're marching against Israel's slaughter of women and children in Lebanon, how does that make Quebec a haven for terrorists?
The wording of this article is stupid. These protesters are labelled "anti-Israel Arab groups". It's always black and white with the right wing. Either your with us or against us. Either you support Israel or your a terrorist.

It's not the Globe and Mail. It's that 'ever becoming' garbage paper, The National Post. The one that instead of becoming critical of Iran on many legitimate points had to make up a clothing rumour to conjure parallels of Nazism.

"Quebecistan" is just a couple notches down from being a racial slur. I have to say when it comes to the Middle East, the French seem to be the ones to get it right. And let’s not also forget, it was a peace rally, not a war march. It was a call for the end to hostilities.

And before ‘the right’ continues to try to push for more division in this country, let us also try to remember that we are all Canadians here united, regardless of our differing opinions and cultures. I wish Harper and those who follow him were more worldly in that respect.

"Canadians united here regardless of our differing opinions and cultures...."

Yes... We should look for our similarities before our differences.

We shouldn't let exteriour conflicts ruin our sense of community.
