On Monday, York University in Toronto, Canada opened its Multicultural Week Parade, a yearly exhibition to promote and celebrate cultural diversity on campus.

But not all students fully embodied the event's message, deciding to spread hate and antisemitism instead.

In fact, the student who was conducting the opening ceremony decided to a wear a tee-shirt stating “Anti-Zionist vibes only.”
The York University Hillel released a statement on Facebook saying that the event's “inclusive spirit excluded Jewish students

Ignorant assholes still mouthing Soviet-era propaganda. They just love hating them Jews, since it isn't "OK" to hate other minorities.

I have been through some physical therapy lately.

Got to know the therapist well. Nice guy. Liberal.

Eventually he started bemoaning the “theft of Palestinian land”, like a New York Jewish guy relocated to New Mexico has any say about it.

The complete lack of base understanding of the issues and moral equivalence was just so tiresome that I quit going. I’ve just been going to the gym and helping myself.
