A prominent member of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa feels “targeted and unwelcome” and fears for his safety due to pro-Palestinian messaging by Capital Pride in advance of its Aug. 25 parade.
On Tuesday, Capital Pride posted a political statement on Instagram related to the ongoing war in Gaza. “By portraying itself as a protector of the rights of queer and trans people in the Middle East, Israel seeks to draw attention away from its abhorrent human rights abuses against Palestinians,” the statement said.
Madness.
