    Is this person confirmed pro Israel? You don't have to be Jewish or Pro Israel to own kosher cafes. I think the contents of the article shouldn't lead you towards "Every act a confession"". I assume what you mean by that is you think this woman was doing false flag antisemitism, but is really pro Israel, but I don't see anything in the article you linked that indicates that unless I'm missing something.

    Also you probably would want to put someone doing a Nazi salute under a content warning even if you thought it was a false flag Nazi salute

      Yeah I think we need to be careful. There are deinfinitely some shitty people that are also against the zionist entity, but for bullshit reasons. This could very easily be that.

        I'm leaving the report up. If another mod wants to remove this, they are welcome to.

        As far as I see, this post doesn't say that she's pro-Israel. In the very least this is sus af, and all the Zionist accounts on the planet are insisting that she's longterm pro Palestinian without a shred of evidence.

        Someone found this on Twitter. It's unlikely to be directly related, but geez Zionists love to do this kinda shit.

          If you would check out my comment where I did a quick little bit of research, I would appreciate it. There is no substantiation to the idea that she was some Zionist plant undergoing a secret operation to discredit Palestinian protests, and adding this image to the thread, even with the caveat that it's "unlikely" to be related sort of fans the fires of leaping to conclusions and looking for ways to disavow responsibility for anti-semitism in Palestinian protest movements.

          I won't speak to elsewhere, but as someone who has done Palestinian organizing in Canada for years, anti-semitism is a very real and present threat to our movement, and we have to constantly be working to educate people and direct their anger towards righteous targets rather than let Nazi rhetoric flourish.

      kosher cafe

      I'm not Canadian but would the franchise be considered Jewish in any way, or is it just a cafe that sells kosher certified cafe food?

        Second Cup is just a second rate Starbucks in Canada, and the one she owned just happens to be located in a Jewish hopsital, so unless more information comes out about the situation, it's sort of impossible to say.
