Toronto's 150,000 Jews this year, 2011, managed to qualify the term "Israeli apartheid" as hate speech, and "any hate speech like this" too. Toronto city councilors have gone along with this spin, and threaten to withdraw any kind of city support for such groups. So what is happening now, in Toronto, is the demonization of ANY criticism of Israel as being hate speech. So Zionists have used QUAIA to ban any future speech that criticizes Israel. That's how the framing of the censorship occurs.
Israel is a nation under danger of being destroyed, these are the people called Palistinisnans and other Muslim groups there intentions is to destroy Israel and all Jews. They have to use harsh tactics but its a fight to survive enemies on all of its borders, the blockade was a ploy by Muslim groups to make Israel to look bad. Israel hold your ground. Islam is the problem. Israel had the lands thousands of years ago and god gave it back.
human and civil rights situation in neighboring Arab countries or within the Palestinian territories is of no consequence to these Jew haters. israel has 2 gay pride parades per year. Try being openly gay in Gaza. I don't expect you will get back to me on that one cause you will likely be murdered.
When people say "Apartheid state", they are referring to the West Bank. Further, Arabs in Israel proper are second class citizens. Wake up you dumb piece of hillbilly trash.
2011 New Pride parade float proposal : QUAPAH: QUEERS AGAINST PAN-ARAB HOMOPHOBIA. Arab regimes that extend gay rights to no one — such as Hamas in Gaza, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and others. These gays should try starting a parade in GAZA City! lol
Israel, for the record, grants full citizenship, legal and language rights to Arabs (including gay Arabs) within its borders. The ONLY Mideast country with a gay pride parade (2 per year)

i don't understand how pride can be anti-discriminatory parade when people want to fly hateful offensive slogans against a country that actually provides the most homosexual rights out of any country in the middle east. Why not fight against the rest of the middle east to follow the tolerance of Israel instead of hating a country that is much kinder to homosexuals. LONG LIVE PRIDE
Yesterday, a suicide bombing that killed at least 40 people attending a wedding in southern Afghanistan. It is an example of the callous disdain that radical Islam, Hamas, Iran and the terrorists on the Flotilla holds for human life. Thank Israel for defending against radical Isalm.
@CubistCafe first of all they are not saying gaza is apartheid, they are saying israel is an apartheid state, which is a lie and hate speech.
if there people who want to spew this hate speech they can, but at the same time the pride parade has the right to say that they do not want this hate speech in their parade,
@CubistCafe using the word apartheid against israel is foolish and is a loaded and hateful term. If you know anything about Israel, you would know that it is not an apartheid state. if this group wanted to march with a banner saying 'queers against the israeli occupation' that would make sense, but all they want to do is offend people. The Middle East is a complex place with complex issues so to dwindle it down to offensive slogans is just plain stupid.
Bimboyren: There was no threat of losing corporate funding whatsoever. Some politicians in the City threatened to cut funding if the group or the term Israeli Apartheid weren't banned but the City couldn't actually find any legality for this. They didn't declare if the term Israeli Apartheid violated its anti-discrimination policy. Therefore, Pride Toronto wasn't really facing nay tangible threat, it was all implications.

I find it funny that a pro-Palestine group wants to march in a gay pride parade. Do people know what happens to gays in the Muslim world?

The biggest irony - ISRAEL IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT SUPPORTS GAY RIGHTS!!! TEL-AVIV IS CALLED THE GAY CAPITAL OF THE MIDDLE EAST!!

Arabs in Israel:

Show up, march, and say what you want.... regardless of what the Pride committee says.
Do you think we, the elderly people of the community, waited until someone "allowed" us to speak up for our rights?
She said calling it apartheid is hate speech. That's nonsense. Calling apartheid for what it is, is liberatiion.
Show up, march, speak out. Excercise your free speech or people like this will take it away.

@habby06
How is saying that Gaza is apartheid Israeli bashing?
And why is shutting down a person's right to say this okay with you?
Isn't that just more apartheid? Or do you consider your right to free speech superior to everyone else?
Agree or disagree, people have a right to speak up.
