Masking serves to protect their identity, which is important since many of them are up to no good and they know it. I would not characterize them as shy. To the contrary, many are loud and aggressive. Aside from shielding their identity, masking creates a vulnerability asymmetry which is part of their attempt at a psychological operation. In effect, they're signalling "I see you. I can harm you. You are vulnerable, but you don't see me. I'm protected. My anonymity liberates me to do as I wish." It's the attempted power play of the childish egoist.
Thanks, that's great. I had no idea it existed. Yes I would like to speak to the organizers so it would be great if you could put me in touch. Please message me directly. 🙏
Fascinating. Would be interesting to check CSIS files, as cold war-era UJPO appears Soviet-infiltrated and could be among Russian intelligence assets. We already know campus protests are infiltrated by Russian disinfo agents; perhaps these efforts are as well. Projects to disrupt Western democracy are alive & well and may be at the heart of the Western anti-Israel movement.
Not sure about other agencies but UJPO has been investigated by the RCMP. I didn't have sufficient information to elaborate on it in the post but it was noted in some documents. There's definitely much research to be done. As far as I understand, UJPO was the amalgamation of splinter groups that were committed to the USSR and not merely socialist ideas after the Russian Revolution. I am not sure what their size or ideological composition is today but judging by the contents of their newsletters they're at least strongly anti-Zionist. I could go further down the UJPO rabbit hole but then I would have to put the Navigating document aside, and that needs to be exposed for what it is now.
They're sometimes described as self-hating Jews, but I don't think that's quite right. They don't hate themselves but they detest mainstream Jews' support for and connection to Israel and they are very politically motivated to further anti-Zionism. This is part of the problem. While survey data indicates that over 90% of Jews support Israel and only about 3% actively oppose it, most of those 3% are very politically active, whereas the majority of the mainstream are not. They just want to live normal lives and enjoy their family and friends. However, now that there is a steep rise in antisemitism, I believe we are seeing more of the mainstream get involved. Not enough, though. We cannot be complacent.
Yes, and the 3% who actively oppose Israel are all leftists. Leftism is a mind virus: its most virulent form, socialism, has killed more people than the Black Death.
Thank you for doing this investigative journalism. It is important work.
It seems that masked activists are at work everywhere, not just on streets and campuses. I wonder why they're so shy and stealthy.
Thanks for your support 🙏

I agree completely. I was being ironic with the "shy" bit. These masked thugs are anything but.
Btw, someone made a mirror site of the "Toronto Jewish Families" website that de-bunks their disinfo! (If you want to speak to them, let me know.)

Excellent work!
Thanks, James. I'm a fan of your great work.
What a thorough investigation you conducted! Kudos.
Thanks, Sheri. I will soon release Part 3, which will focus on the concept of anti-Palestinian racism which figures prominently in that document.
As the saying goes, scratch a leftist, find an antisemite. Sadly, that appears to hold true even for Jewish leftists.
