I just had the most bizarre interaction with Jon Allen on Facebook a few minutes ago. First, he came to me with a response to what I wrote about the rallies yesterday- this isn’t the unusual part, but it is rather telling. Here’s what he had to say:

Story Of The Robocall Rallies, Palestine House, JDL, International Socialists, Judy Rebick And A Cryptic Coptic!
I didn’t think much about it when Jon Allan mentioned he had a friend from the Palestinian community who would be helping us plan and marshal our parade route.

Dave Vasey Has Deep Respect For Violent Men…
The more I learn about Dave Vasey the more disturbed I am that this man is accepted by his community as a leader. Besides his bullying and attacking people’s family members (standard activities for an International Socialist), Dave’s support of violence should cause call Canadians a deep sense of distress…

More Discontent With Rabble.ca & Krystalline Kraus!
This provides more evidence that Rabble.ca & Krystalline Kraus are not worthy of having their work labelled as ‘journalism’. It is a shame they don’t have a print edition, because they’d at least make great budgie paper…
