Two Metro Vancouver women say they were threatened by two men who were seen carrying Palestinian flags on Monday night.
The friends had just left a vigil to honour Israel’s dead, and had no idea they were being followed until they were confronted.
“You could see the hate in his eyes,” one of them told CTV News.
They’ve agreed to share their story, provided CTV News doesn’t reveal their identities, because they fear for their safety.
When they were confronted, the woman told the men to “go away.”
But they didn’t, and yelled at the women in Arabic.
“They told me that he will rape me, and my pants will bleed, and I would remember it for a very long time,” one recalled calmly.
“The younger one, he said that he would slice me,” she said.
I used to follow polling. Then I started to wonder how the current president’s numbers (any president) could change so drastically week by week. Like, he signed one bill, how did he go from meh to great for that one thing? Then next week he’s trash.
Is it that some people make sweeping conclusions using only the most recent thing in the news? Does everything else go away?
I guess it’s better to be willing to change your mind than be completely hard headed.
