If you followed Twitter like I did this past weekend, you would have thought the Freedom Convoy consisted of a host of anti-Semitic white supremacists.
This includes not only the original convoy that reached Ottawa on Jan. 29, but also the ones that came together in cities across Canada this past Saturday.
Having made it one of my missions to expose anti-Semitism – which in the current era is often dressed in the guise of anti-Zionism or hatred of the Jewish state – I paid particular attention to the messages of fear expressed by members of Canada’s Jewish community.
That was until I realized many of the tweets were from ardent leftists whose heads were exploding over the protests themselves. Like the legacy media, many of them seemed determined to malign the truckers and their message no matter how contrary the evidence, and no matter how transparent the leftist agenda was.
The most interesting thing about all of it was the sheer ignorance of the tweeters about one important fact – Benjamin Dichter, a co-organizer of the Freedom Convoy, is Jewish.
And he’s not a Jew who has sat on his hands. He has fought anti-Semitic extremism for years.
