Two Metro Vancouver women say they were threatened by two men who were seen carrying Palestinian flags on Monday night.
The friends had just left a vigil to honour Israel’s dead, and had no idea they were being followed until they were confronted.
“You could see the hate in his eyes,” one of them told CTV News.
They’ve agreed to share their story, provided CTV News doesn’t reveal their identities, because they fear for their safety.
When they were confronted, the woman told the men to “go away.”
But they didn’t, and yelled at the women in Arabic.
“They told me that he will rape me, and my pants will bleed, and I would remember it for a very long time,” one recalled calmly.
“The younger one, he said that he would slice me,” she said.
That’s the Palestinian way of doing things 😎
imagine posting comments this retarded. change your rhetoric instead of generalizing to the benefit of people who want to write off others as enemies
If the Palestinians didn’t want to be associated with Hamas then they should stop supporting them.
Maybe they should ask the people raping, murdering, and pillaging, if they’d be so kind as to leave.
Who wants to try first?
Maybe they shouldn’t have voted for people who are now raping, murdering, and pillaging to be their elected government.
If we were talking about an elected democracy with elections every 4 years… I might be inclined to agree, but the last time the people of Palestine got to vote on their government, was in 2005.
They haven’t been able to elect a new leader since 2008.
And I imagine they aren’t too keen right now to hold an election.
Hamas were voted into power 17 years ago with no subsequent elections, and won with only ~44% of the vote. The current median age in Palestine is 19.6 years old. Therefore, at most ~44% of Palestinians aged over 35 voted for Hamas, which would make up far less than a quarter of the total population - probably less than 20% of all Palestinians.
