BC restaurateur raises concerns with province’s Racist Incident Helpline

From Global News.

A Victoria, B.C., businessman is raising concerns after his conversation with the province’s Racist Incident Helpline.

Solomon Siegel was at Victoria’s Pride Parade last week and says he saw a booth selling a shirt with the word ‘intifada’ on it. The Arabic word means a rebellion or uprising.

He described the shirt as having pictures of children on it with a Palestinian flag and an anti-zionist phrase.

When Siegel, the owner of a well-known Victoria restaurant got home, he said he called the newly established hotline but said he became angry with what he heard from the person on the other end of the phone.

Global’s Richard Zussman reports.
