So what topped the local news this past week? Here's an excerpt from the February 27th CTV News article:
https://bc.ctvnews.ca/it-s-insulting-jewish-community-reacts-to-yellow-star-used-by-b-c-anti-vaxxer-on-t-shirt-1.5327514
"Members of Vancouver’s Jewish community are reacting to a t-shirt created by a local woman comparing the COVID-19 vaccine rollout to the Holocaust. Susan Standfield is anti-mask and anti-vaccination. Her Instagram account features numerous videos and photos of her taking part in “Freedom Rallies” in Vancouver and criticizing provincial and federal governments for implementing COVID-19 restriction."
Most of us know that the yellow star was used by the Nazis to identify and persecute Jews. So it was not surprising that today's Jewish community reacted the way they did. Comparing COVID-19 restrictions with the persecution's and sufferings that the Jews faced during holocaust is absolutely wrong. Yet, during the CTV interview with Dr. Michael Elterman, a member of Vancouver’s Jewish community, he made a concluding comment that made this interesting:
“It’s irrational, it makes no sense.” Elterman says he would like Standfield to remove the shirts, but acknowledges, “she has a right to be wrong.”
