I told them I hope they don’t arrest me. We’ll see.

The pro-Hamas hooligans targeted Rebel News in their demonstrations. Two shocking signs were brought: one featured a misleading and incorrect quote, while the other was an effigy of a Hamas terrorist that they had modified to include a symbol of David Menzies' hat.
Pro-Palestine protesters made a custom sign commemorating Rebel News founder Ezra Levant’s arrest for breach of the peace last week.

Two Hamas supporters disagreed on the events of October 7, with a woman wearing a Hamas flag claiming that Israel committed terrorism against its own people, and another saying it was retaliation for 1948, the year in which the Israeli government proclaimed its independence.
