Anti-Israel protesters target Thornhill kosher grocery store
Conservative MP for Thornhill, Melissa Lantsman, posted a video to her Twitter account on Canada Day of anti-Israel protesters outside of a kosher grocery, Taste of Israel, located at a shopping centre in Thornhill Ontario.
“Palestine will be free,” the half dozen picketers chanted.
Happening now: Protesters screaming free Palestine, yelling anti-Semitic slurs and intimidating Jews in #Thornhill outside a plaza of mainly kosher establishments. This is NOT anti Zionism —it’s a blatant act of #antisemitic hate which must be condemned by everyone. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/T7eyzIJC14

The Anti-Israel demonstrators could be seen holding Palestinian flags and wearing camouflage. Some had their faces obscured, while another yelled at cars in a parking lot through a megaphone.
Lantsman, herself Jewish, was previously accused by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of standing with Nazis.

Last year, Lantsman challenged Liberal MP Jenica Atwin to a debate about Israel.
Does @JenicaAtwin still consider Israel an apartheid state? I think voters need to know where the Liberals stand. I suggest an open debate. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/fZhY9LmeVN

Atwin did not accept.
