Division among Torontonians over the war in Gaza was on full display Sunday as both pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrators held concurrent rallies downtown.
The rallies, meant to mark 100 days since the onset of the conflict, drew greater attendance than any local event connected with the war in the last several weeks, in spite of plunging temperatures and wind that made it feel like -18 C.
Oh nothing. Just a few peaceful demonstrators in @oliviachow’s Toronto cheering on Houthi terrorists and calling for the murder of Jews.

The temperature may have been cold but our hearts were warm, joining together at Nathan Phillips Square to rally for the release of the hostages being held by the terror group Hamas. We will not rest until every one of them are back home. #100days #bringthemhomenow #neveragain pic.twitter.com/tLwjN1slXj
