A heated confrontation erupted Sunday evening when a protester interrupted former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland during a Canadaland discussion on globalization at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre’s Al Green Theatre.

The man directly confronted Freeland, Canada’s ex-Foreign Affairs Minister and a longtime advocate for close ties with ‘Israel’, shouting: “Thousands murdered because of you. How many children have you orphaned? You monster. You Zionist Nazi dog… You’re the butcher of Gaza… You’re making money off of genocide?”

Security eventually removed him as the crowd reacted.

Freeland, who stepped down from Cabinet and Parliament last year and now advises Ukraine on economic development, has long been criticized for her pro-‘Israel’ record.

As foreign affairs minister, she repeatedly affirmed Canada’s “unwavering” commitment to ‘Israel’s’ security, opposed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and shielded ‘Israel’ from international criticism — even as Palestinian civilians faced bombardment and starvation.
