Chow was criticized by pro-Israel Jewish groups, who said her comments were antisemitic and could encourage violent reprisals against the Jewish community.

Exactly. Let's refuse to reduce the Jewish community to the pro-israeli shills. The Zionists shouldn't be handed out a monopoly on Jewishness. Prominent critics of Israeli crimes are themselves Jewish Canadians. In fact, soon we might have one of them, the unabashedly outspoken Avi Lewis, leading the federal NDP.
