Jewish life in polite Canada has become 'a horror show of hatred'
Q: Can you start with telling us a little bit about who you are and how you took this journey?

'We'll kill you, traitor': How far-right thugs and police target Israel's antiwar protest leaders
Q: What risks do activists face from political groups and law enforcement, and how are these addressed?

Q: What is the core message of the Saturday protest, and how has it evolved during the Iran war season two?
