Meanwhile CIJA is going after pro-Palestinian activists/anyone who criticizes Israel while violent anti-semites are not even hiding
CBC has put together an impressive collection of clips exposing Diagolon and Second Sons in their own words. These are white nationalists and neo-Nazis who want an ethnic cleansing and believe "violence is the answer." Largest group of its kind in Canadian history. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...
