My only quibble is the use of pro Hamas to refer to anyone who is inclined to support Palestine. I am pro Palestine, but I am no supporter of Hamas or the Palestinian Authority. Just as I dislike Netanyahu and his government. My support is always with the commoners whether Gazans or Israeli hostages.
I hold no ill will for the Palestinian People. The protests I've seen recently in Canada, especially since the one year anniversary of the Oct 7th attacks, have had a major energy shift away from the plight of the Palestinians to the martyrdom of hamas leaders. The videos released of the Palestinian people being tortured by hamas were particularly wrenching to watch.
Not a fan of any Canadian modern left demos, except for some environmental ones in British Columbia regarding the forests, as I find the organizations and people to be not my kind of people. Language and tactics are terrible. I am a coalition builder and funny signs guy.

Thanks for taking on this prickly issue, Russell.
Thank you Fergus 🙏
