Don't mind me, just screaming into the aether

protestors against the selling of Palestinian land were attacked by an armed Zionist.

Pro-Palestinian supporters are calling for a second real estate event planned north of Toronto to be called down over concerns it involves the selling of land in the occupied West Bank.

On Sunday, dozens of people gathered near the Aish Hatorah synagogue in Thornhill, Ont., to protest an event that organizers say was aimed at helping people in the Toronto area buy property in Israel. They were met with pro-Israeli counterprotesters and Jewish leaders took issue with the Sunday protest taking place outside a synagogue.

But pro-Palestinian protesters say companies associated with the event market property in the West Bank, where over two million Palestinians live under Israel's military occupation, according to the United Nations (UN).

A similar event is expected to take place Thursday at another synagogue in the area. It is unclear whether the two events are connected.

"We weren't there because it's a synagogue, we were there because we were protesting against a real estate show," said Ghada Sasa, who was at the protest over the weekend. 

"[These events] shouldn't be allowed to happen when they're explicitly advertising land on occupied territory."

An event also took place yesterday which was protested by IJV in Montreal. Here's their statement on the matter at hand in general. They reiterate once again that they asked the synagogue to shut down the event prior to this protest, and because of their refusal the IJV (English and French chapters) organized this protest in conjunction with Palestinian orgs like SPHR and montreal4palestine, PYM, Samidoun, etc...

Here's a clip of the protest in Montreal.

Here's a clip of Jewish protestors being violently ejected from the synagogue for protesting. Warning for this video, there is some screaming and some violence against the protestors.
