Falafel Yoni target of shootings
Falafel Yoni on St-Viateur was a shooting target Wednesday, and the owner suspects this is because he’s on a list of Israeli‑owned establishments to boycott. CityTV phrases it as because of his Jewish heritage but I think that’s misleading. I don’t think it’s heritage, I think it’s a beef with modern Israel – not that this excuses taking potshots at peacefully operating businesses halfway around the world.

You left comments on? Feel free to delete mine if that wsn’t intentional. Conflating “Israeli” with “Jewish” puts other local businesses at risk, Housefather and Plante should be more careful. Nobody is shooting up Lipa or Cheskie’s or Mehadrin.

You were too quick for me, Ian. When I post, I go back in and turn off commenting. And in that moment, you commented!
But you make a legitimate point so I’m leaving it, before shutting down commenting again.
