During a pro-Israel rally in Calgary, Canada, pro-Palestinian protesters began cussing at the group for expressing solidarity with Israel. Then, it broke into shouts of ‘Heil Hitler’. Calgary’s mayor is a Muslim named Naheed Nenshi who last month seemed to play the moral equivalency card and was largely silent when Hamas supporters assaulted pro-Israeli supporters at a “Gaza peace rally’.
