Several women entered the Israeli consulate in Toronto and are refusing to leave in protest of the Gaza operation, Ynet learned. The women are apparently Jewish and Israeli. Due to concerns for the safety of consulate staff, security officers at the site ordered diplomatic officials to enter their rooms and refrain from contact with the women. Around 6 pm Israel time, a group of eight women, including some Israelis, entered the consulate's office in protest of the war. Security officers at the mission avoided any kind of physical confrontation with the demonstrators. Meanwhile, anti-war protestors carrying signs slamming Israel's Gaza operation have been demonstrating outside the building. According to an initial inquiry, the women were able to gain entry into the secured facility after presenting ID cards indicating they are Israeli or Jewish. Upon entering the consulate, the women sat down on the floor and started chanting anti-Israeli slogans. According to consulate staff, the chants included "Apartheid Israel" and racist slogans slamming the Israeli government's policy. Sources in the consulate said security officers were not forcefully evacuating the female protestors for the time being as not to escalate tensions at the rally held outside the building. Foreign Ministry Spokesman Yossi Levy confirmed that "a group of women entered the building in line with normal entry procedures. We are dealing with a local incident that is being conducted pleasantly and without violence."
Poster Comment: "Foreign Ministry Spokesman Yossi Levy confirmed that "a group of women entered the building in line with normal entry procedures. We are dealing with a local incident that is being conducted pleasantly and without violence." Many more and louder anti-war voices are needed to be heard from the Jewish/Israeli community so that Mr. Levy finds that such incidents are rather unpleasant and embarrassing to deal with. What does this condescending jerk think he's dealing with - some type of coffee klatch hen party???

Fyi.
Jews have their own IDs? Since when? .
Click for Privacy and Preparedness files Nehemiah 4:14 And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”
Fyi. I would never have seen this had you not pinged FormerLurker to it I never got the ping because you spelt wudidiz wrong. Not really sure why. I don't want to think it's because you figure me for a ditz. Although the t is a ways away from the i and the z on the keyboard. :-)
This is beautiful. Thank you for posting this. Don't imagine we'll see it on the six o'clock news though.

I actually thought it was funny.
