Toronto 'Walk with Israel' march confronted by pro-Palestinian protesters

Thousands of members of Toronto’s Jewish community marched downtown as part of an annual "Walk with Israel" event that unfolded amid heightened security and protests along the route.

March participants, who were expected to turn out in record numbers, waved Israeli flags and carried posters of those taken hostage during the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that triggered the latest war with Israel.

Marchers encountered two groups of protesters within the first hour of the walk, with police making several arrests during clashes with Pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

Duelling chants of “free, free Palestine” and “bring them home” rang out when the groups crossed paths. Police officers formed barriers between the two groups and intervened in confrontations.

One side calls for peace while the other calls for extermination. Draw your own conclusions.

[tremsls]

People are so easily brainwashed and controlled/divided. Getting played like fiddles.

[ghostcruncher]

This is no longer about Israel vs Palestine. It's about Good vs Evil!

Ban the tribal face diaper. Canadians have a right to know who is protesting on their streets.

This shows there are lots of good people still in Canada. No hate. No screaming for anyone to be exterminated. No shooting up schools. This is Canada!

Why does only one side hide their faces like cowards?

[acqueenarkpyanne]

They need to blame hamas for putting their own civilians at risk

[petarticinovic]

Gee, I wonder which side instigated the physical clashes?😅

[glennhankins]

Peaceful and civilized protest. They have my support.

[georginachambers]

Where's the footage of the "clashes" ???

[God_X]

You see how peaceful the Walk with Israel and they also have Canadian flags with them too

[SuhCar]

Why pro palestine go to pro Israel rally?

[ithinkthat]

What was it I've been hearing lately? Oh yeah! "Support the country you live in or live in the country you support."

[andreacasale]

wow and not one person in the March has their faces covered....

[johhancarl]

Something I have noticed is that when Palestinians march anywhere in the world, there are violent clashes, and the police have to monitor them to ensure there are no violent clashes. On the other hand, the Israelis march in peace, and I have not seen them go to other marches in other countries to inflict violence.

Everyone has the right to protest, pro Palestine have had many protests, let the other side have theirs too

Why show footage of Gaza when interviewing the man who’s family was kidnapped from Israel? Is it too shameful too admit what happened on Oct. 7?

[teresabratt]

Israel saying "we have a right to exist" and Gaza saying "we wont stop until Israel is gone". And people criticizing Israel for retaliating. Bunch of hypocrites.

One side shows Canadian flags one doesn't, God bless Israel and the Jewish people!

[mindymindus]

Why didnt you mention what side was arrested?
