Hundreds gather in Edmonton to celebrate Hamas terrorism

Sunday evening, revellers blared music and amassed in Castle Downs Park for speeches and vehicle convoys to show support for Hamas terror attacks across Israel that have left close to 1,000 dead, thousands injured and hundreds held hostage in Gaza.

Happening now in Edmonton, Canada: hundreds of pro Hamas terror apologists, making excuses for the butchery of innocent Israeli civilians. It's like a street festival.

A massive Palestinian flag was unfurled on the grass in the park. At the same time, speakers claimed a human right to the wave of rapes, beheadings, shootings, arsons and kidnappings of civilians in Israel by Iranian-backed terrorists across Israel over the weekend.

Pro-Hamas demonstrators justify the slaughter of innocent Israeli civilians by claiming there's no such thing as an Israeli civilian.

Local Conservative MP Michael Cooper, whose riding includes Castle Downs, called chants of "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" a call to genocide.

I never expected there would be a public call for genocide in my riding.

I am disgusted.

The victims of yesterday’s brutal attack were civilians. They were innocent men, women, and children who did nothing wrong.

During the vehicle convoy adjacent to the rally, two cars with Israeli flags circled the parking lot, resulting in multiple altercations with Hamas supporters.

As news of the large-scale atrocities against Israelis hit the Western media on Sunday, Edmonton's mayor, a former cabinet minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government, tweeted that Israel was "targeting innocent civilians."

Amarjit Sohi, Trudeau's former MP and now the mayor of Edmonton, won't criticize Hamas by name and won't call them terrorists.

But he will say that Israel is "targeting innocent civilians".

Sohi is a Hamas sympathizer.

What a gross, gross bigot. https://t.co/YvLOeMGqLX

However, Sohi has yet to denounce the pro-terror rally in support of a day of violence described as "Israel's 9/11."

Sohi previously brought in special notice bylaws to deal with Freedom Convoy horn honking during 2022's anti-covid mandate demonstrations.

As a Muslim, the murderous rampage of Hamas tears away at my very being.

They butchered a thousand people in the blink of an eye while their sycophants praised them for their “intifada.”

Rather than condemn the violence, millions of Muslims worldwide praised Hamas — a known…
