In an Attempt to Pre-Empt Complaints About QuAIA's Orgy of Zionhass, Co-Chair of WorldPride Craps All Over Israel

Not a pfennig, not a farthing, not a shekel, not a plugged nickel in public funds would I give this shindig, not so long as this co-chair remains there:

The co-chair of the 2014 WorldPride Human Rights Conference in Toronto says organizers of the global gathering are worried it could be "an orgy of pinkwashing." 

Doug Kerr raised the issue at a discussion about pinkwashing — how Israel uses sex and marketing to distract from apartheid-like policies in the West Bank and Gaza — at the 519 Church Street Community Centre on June 24.

Kerr told speaker Ali Abunimah — one of the world’s leading voices in the anti-Israeli-apartheid movement — that conference organizers want to resist pinkwashing at WorldPride 2014. "But many of us involved in organizing see it as an opportunity for social justice education," he said. 

Abunimah, the co-founder of the influential blog Electronic Intifada and author of One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse, said Toronto is a leader in the global resistance to Israeli pinkwashing.

That’s thanks mostly to the efforts of Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA), which has been embroiled in a three-year fight against censorship at Pride Toronto (PT) and Toronto City Hall, Abunimah said..

In the annals of the Big Lie, the "pinkwashing" canard ranks right up there with "Israeli apartheid," Jews moistening their unleavened Passover matzohs with the blood of juicy young goyim, and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Update: If the Zion-loathers have their way, WorldPride could end up turning into a Durban IV, a scenario predicted here:

Toronto will host the World Pride event in 2014, prompting fears from the pro-Israel camp that the event could be used as an even bigger platform to demonize the Jewish state. A grassroots advocacy group called Stop Sponsoring the Hatred raised concern about how World Pride 2014 might further tarnish the city’s reputation. “If [Toronto city council] doesn’t act to stop the politicization of a parade built on civility and tolerance, then it opens the floodgates to every hate group. And next year, World Pride 2014 will attract the same elements of the G20 who came here to politically protest, but ended up deliberately smashing our city,” the group said in a May 30 statement. “Is it unreasonable to speculate whether World Pride 2014 will be used as an international anti-Israel bashing session, like [the World Conference Against Racism in] Durban [in 2001]?”

No reason to speculate since the Zion-loathers have already shown that that's exactly what they're planning. The question is does anyone at City Hall have the cojones to do anything about it?
