Thanks to Tor Sandberg of rabbletv, here is a speech I gave to the anti-proroguing rally in Toronto.  There were about 10,000 people there and another 15,000 at least across the country

People who demonize Israel tend to be anti-semitic. Having the country of Israel gives those who hate Jews a legitimate reason to hide their anti-Jewish sentiments. I know, I grew up in that setting. Hatred of the Jews was rampant long before there was a country called Israel. If these people are so set on sticking up for the victim underdog, why don't they look at almost every other islamic regime, that oppresses women and children's rights. Countries that won't let girls go to school, have to wear hijabs. Where ever there is trouble in the world, islam is somehow involved. I have been to Israel a number of times, and it is very clear that it is a democratic country that is just trying to protect its citizens from hateful radical people. There are many Arabs who live in Israel who are israel citizens, and have jobs, own businesses, drive cabs, and ministers in government. So why don't you tell the truth, instead of trying to stir up more hatred.
