Protesters of Israel-Hamas war fear nuance is getting lost
Frenchman Antoine Ehrhard made sure to convey, when he attended a protest in Paris against antisemitism Sunday, that he’s not just against hate hurled at one side. “Against antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all racism” are the words he jotted on paper he taped to his back joining the 180,000-person throng.
“I’m against this massacre in Gaza,” Mr. Ehrhard says. “I’m angry. But we shouldn’t confuse Israel with Jewish people.”
The same day across the Atlantic, thousands gathered in downtown Toronto to support Palestinian rights. One of those, university student Jackie Pham, says the media should stop conflating calls for cease-fire with a call to arms against Jews. “To be pro-Palestinian is not to be pro-Hamas; it’s not to be pro-terror,” she says.
