Anti-Zionist groups in Canada target Jewish children's summer camps

Anti-Zionist groups in Canada last week launched a campaign against Jewish children’s summer camps, marking a new front in activists’ global effort to dismantle the Jewish state and demonize its supporters.

A coalition of Canadian leftist and pro-Palestinian organizations announced the campaign seeking to strip accreditation from Jewish children’s summer camps due to their support for “a genocidal state.”

The campaign targeted at least 17 camps across Canada, in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia.

“They pose a problem because they encourage support for a genocidal, settler-colonial state,” the campaign said of the camps, which serve children in elementary school, middle school and high school.

“A camp in Ontario was attacked for cultural “appropriation” for using za’atar, a Middle Eastern spice.”

Assholes. Suing to close Jewish schools is too soft core for Hamas, so I doubt these douches have a lot to do with Hamas or even Palestine IRL. Seems like local haters using international events to push a domestic agenda under a guise of justice.

Anyway, I suppose I could find people I dislike thousands of miles away, and harass the children of people tangentially related to them here, too. Nothing like tribalism to awaken and rationalize visceral action. I have a mess of genes from all over the planet, and I'm sure I could find someone's kids to harass. So, I'm 50% there...

However, I'd need to know what the effing point is, beyond cruelty, cause I just don't see it. This doesn't hurt Israel in any way, just Jewish kids in Canada. I hope their lawyers screw them, take all their money, and they lose all their cases.
