Palestinian Civilians: Anti-Semitic Ideology and Ford Tweeted

palestinian civilians: Ignoring how Israel has been killing large numbers of Palestinian civilians -- 124 to 0 in the latest round in Gaza -- the premier-elect added in a subsequent tweet Blatantly racist or anti-Semitic ideology should never be permitted on the grounds of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, or anywhere else in our province, according to Rabble. Ford's move isn't surprising since he's previously campaigned against Palestinian solidarity activism. After the recent Al Quds Jerusalem Day protest brought over 500 people out in Toronto, Ford tweeted, our government will take action to ensure that events like Al Quds Day, which calls for the killing of an entire civilian population in Israel, are no longer part of the landscape in Ontario. During his stint on city council Ford sought to defund Toronto's Pride Parade because Queers Against Israeli Apartheid was allowed to march alongside hundreds of other groups. If they want to march in the parade, then we won't fund them, said the councillor. We don't support hate groups, that's our view. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
