Right Girl attended an anti-hezbollah rally today in Toronto. She has coverage of the rally that countered a planned PRO-hezbollah rally.
She has some interesting photos and coverage.
The police on site were polite, but it made me angry that they asked us to move, because “we were putting their guys in danger”. Us? If there was danger, it didn’t come from our side. Later on, when someone showed up with a Hezbollah flag, we pointed out to one of the cops that Hezbollah is recognized in Canada as a terror organization, and that man should be arrested. The cop said “that’s a decision for someone higher up” than him, and he didn’t want to “wade into that bunch” to make an arrest. Not that I’m looking for a cop to risk himself unnecessarily, but it seems to me that it would have been an easy arrest to make. After all, the pro-Hezbollah side claimed to be demonstrating for “peace”, so I’m sure the cop would have been safe. What? You don’t think so?
Interesting, isn’t it?
I have often thought that much of the critism of the United States and Israel is because wading into that bunch is a much more frieghtening prospect. Better to leave the terrorists alone and focus your critism on countries in which you have the right to opposition.
Too bad that won’t save you, or us, in the end.
