Canadian council candidate Rasha Zaid says Zionists ‘must be locked up’ in video

Canadian pro-Palestinian activist Rasha Zaid, running for Windsor city council, made controversial remarks in a video stating that Zionists 'must be locked up.'

She emphasized the distinction between Zionism and Judaism, arguing that conflating the two puts Jewish people at risk. Zaid stressed that her stance is against actions and crimes, not identity-based condemnation.
