WARMINGTON: Some in Toronto celebrating mass murder of Israelis as death toll mounts
Lauding Hamas militants for firing rockets into neighbourhoods, torturing Israeli soldiers and parading the bodies of innocent women through the streets is pure evil

First Canada saw cheering for a Second World War Nazi-related Waffen SS soldier, now there’s jubilation in Toronto over the mass slaughter of innocent Israelis.
Most of the dead are believed to be Jewish – just like those exterminated in the Holocaust. But some here thought this was fantastic and went public to party about it.

The cowardly sneak attack by Hamas terrorists in Israel that killed several hundred and wounded more than 1,000 was already as sick as sick can get.
But people in Toronto celebrating while the death toll mounts is evil. Yet there it was, on the Roncesvalles Pedestrian Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
“A banner drop is happening today to honour and celebrate the resistance and continued solidarity with Palestinians living under occupation,” a notice posted on social media by Toronto4Palestine stated. “A few people wish to hand out sweets to celebrate the resistance and its next level accomplishments.”
Those sick “accomplishments” consist of parading the bodies of innocent women through the streets with cheers, as well as torturing Israeli soldiers and firing thousands of rockets into to kill civilians. It’s genocide. It’s also kidnapping. Several dozen Israeli soldiers are being held against their will.
While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and U.S. President Joe Biden denounced the gutless attack on the tail end of Yom Kippur, there are people in Toronto who are with the Hamas terrorists and rooting for the murderers who organized this heinous event from Palestine.
“ACTION ALERT,” they posted. “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm has begun. The occupation continues to cross our red line. Al-Aqsa is our red line.”
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it very clear Israel as at war.
However, it turns out there are people on the other side amassing here was well. A second gathering is planned for 2 p.m. on Monday at Nathan Phillips Square.
B’nai Brith CEO Michael Mostyn said “celebrating this horrifying attack and heinous murders in our city of Toronto is “hideous.”
“Palestine is rising, long live the resistance,” said a posting on X by Cupe Local 3906, which represents 3,000 academic workers at Hamilton’s McMaster University.
There are many Jewish students who may not feel safe attending class Tuesday with such blatant anti-Semitism on full display. In this case, there likely will be no repercussions like what would happen if anybody partied over the mass murders of any other group. It’s free speech but it’s still gross.
And, while legal, Saturday’s banner drop over the Gardiner Expressway with blood-thirsty people enjoying the carnage, is as ugly a moment as the city has ever seen. And Toronto Police were monitoring it.
It sounds like there may be more glorification of this craven act.
It seems there are people here who support this depravity on what should have been a happy Thanksgiving weekend.
