Someone who owned 2 cafés in Montreal's Jewish General Hospital decided the best place to live their Nazi dream was at a pro-Palestinian protest outside Concordia U last week. She was filmed doing the Nazi salute and throwing out antisemitic remarks.

Second Cup immediately closed down the franchisee's 2 cafés, saying they have "Zero tolerance for hate speech."

The company said it will retain the staff and continue paying them until the locations at the hospital reopen under new management.

This is a good thing.

But fucking hell

Henry Topas, Quebec regional director of B'nai Brith Canada, said he views the behaviour shown in the videos as a symptom of Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante's tolerance of "continual hateful protests in the street."

He also criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's recent "endorsement" of the "corrupt" International Criminal Court's decision to issue an arrest warrant earlier this week accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of war crimes in the country's deadly war in Gaza.

Can this guy just STFU after his first remark? I can't stand the constant conflation of antisemitism and antizionism.

The good thing about this story is that a nazi is losing her job while no one who had to work for her is losing theirs.

What a horrible person.

Remember kids, Judaism ≠ Zionism

A lot of Jewish folks are allies in protesting the Palestinian genocide.
