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

Windsor council candidate Rasha Zaid was recorded saying Zionists “must be locked up,” later telling the Post that her remarks were directed at those supporting alleged crimes, not Zionists generally.

Canadian aesthetician and pro-Palestinian activist Rasha Zaid has stated in a video clip that Zionists "must be locked up" and called for their removal from society. The footage, shared by the X/Twitter account Leviathan, shows Zaid making the remarks at a demonstration. Zaid, who runs for Windsor city council in Ontario's Ward 4 district, clarified that she differentiated Zionism from Judaism, emphasizing her opposition to the actions, not those who identify as Zionists.

The candidate's campaign emphasizes local representation and community advocacy, but her comments have sparked criticism from Jewish organizations.
