At one rally in Toronto on Thanksgiving Monday, there were calls to annihilate Israel. At the other, calls for Israel to defend herself, but also for peace.The juxtaposition between the rallies at Nathan Phillips Square in the afternoon and Mel Lastman Square in the evening was quite shocking.“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” the pro-Palestine protestors chanted while marching up Bay St. after leaving City Hall.
Similarly, marching up a main thoroughfare in Toronto chanting, “One solution, Intifada revolution,” isn’t a call for peace, it’s a call for more violence. All of this coming days after Hamas invaded Israel and committed the most heinous crimes can only be seen as those marchers on Monday supporting Hamas and their terrorist actions.
The moment was pierced by the sound of counter-protesters who had shown up on the opposite side of Yonge St to try to disrupt the event. Toronto Police did a fantastic job of keeping the small counter-protest and the massive show of support for Israel apart.
