3,000 people from Toronto were expected to participate in Canada’s rally for the Jewish people this is really an opportunity for the Canadian Jewish Community to exercise our Democratic freedoms peacefully and to show that we will not be afraid but many never got the opportunity we never actually ended

Up making it to the rally Eliana kleinberg was left in the cold when nearly 20 buses booked by the uja Federation of Greater Toronto failed to show up I think that a lot of people this morning were completely abandoned and afraid that the only reason that they weren’t allowed on these buses and

The buses didn’t come to pick them up is because they are Jews last month organizers of a massive pro-israel rally in Washington said hundreds of demonstrators were stranded when charter bus drivers refused to bring them from the airport to the National Mall to participate how did it feel when the bus

Jewish groups rallied on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Monday afternoon to show solidarity with Israel and call for the release of hostages still being held by Hamas.

The rally also took aim at the wave of antisemitism that has grown since the most recent wave of violence was triggered on Oct. 7.

Thousands of people took part but it could have also been bigger — many buses hired to bring people from Thornhill, Ont. this morning did not show up.

  1. Global and their anti Palestinian agenda I wonder who’s payroll their bias behind is on?. Support everyone else but show the news the way it is. Stop trying so hard to be the Canadian version of Fox and sky news.

  2. This should be worrying. The world is very upset about the way Gaza is being turned into a killing ground. I think it is most unfortunate that the world is now seeing Israel under the leadership of Netanyahu turn into a state that appears to be taking advantage of the opportunity to bully in a very unbalanced way and the song of hatred threatening complete genocide of palestinians has the potential to ignite another holocaust. I think Netanyahu must address this problem or face renunciation by all in the world who see his reaction as unjust. Nowit appears he was the only one who did not know it was comng??? Something stinks and it is a potential disaster for the people in the protest. We don’t need protests, we need explanations and better solutions then genocide!!!

  3. As thecworld defeated Nazis,it will eventually end colonial zionism..do you know thatIsraeli flag shows their border betewwn 2 lines? Fron the Nile to Euphrates?? That is not whe Palestine, but also big chunks of Egypt, Jordan,Lebanon,Syria,Iraq!! You make Hitler expansionism pale in comparison

  4. (Bring them Home) and what about the 18,000 Palestinians who killed in a Genocide that aims to eradicate all Palestinians, they are repeating another holocaust and ignoring the fact that this land was given to them illegally. BTW the hostages are treated with dignity just like Maya when she gave a thanks to Hamas members

  5. global news coverage for them is amazing in comparison to palestinian. i was suppose to go to a peaceful protest for palestinians and my bus didn’t show up. you don’t see me crying. perhaps i need an interview with global to request unfairness. canada is a nation that doesn’t support war and especially genocide. we must not mix up the true loving jewish people with the good true muslims. zionism is not judaism and muslim are not isis. these are fabrication by politicians to create war. smell the coffee and let’s demand peace please in the name of humanity!!!
