Tell more—what was the event, etc.

Tell.

Oh, it’s “Israel Apartheid Week”. I wanted to go and see what the fuss was about. I spent most of my time in the lobby because I lined up too late (although I was at the front of the line when they continued to let people in). (Part of the subway line was shut down while I was making my way there, so I had to take the streetcar. I’m usually early for everything.)

There were some people outside with Israeli flags and some inside with flyers. I helped a friend hand out some of her homemade flyers inside.

I was told later that Naomi Klein (Mrs. Al-Jazeera Canada) was one of the guest speakers. Apparently, she said something like, The way to honour the victims of the Holocaust is to oppose Israel.
