Thousands take part in Edmonton anti-Israel march
The demonstrators gathered in Churchill Square, in the shadow of city hall, before taking to the streets of the capital city, chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The slogan is considered to be a call to genocide.

They tell me these anti Israel rallies are not pro-Hamas, but here a sign critical of people condemning the terrorist butchers of Hamas. https://t.co/lpMKpEMT82 pic.twitter.com/BID6wBq69W
Israel is currently executing a targeted military operation against the Hamas terrorists who control the Gaza Strip. This is in response to the October 7 attacks and murders, which resulted in 1,400 fatalities and 200 people taken hostage.
“We saw people in mortal danger. Our conscience did not allow us to leave them there under fire.”

Some signs held by protesters accused Israel of a Nazi-style extermination of Gazans.
It's truly despicable to see these anti-Israel rallies co-opt the language of the Nazi Holocaust as their own.

Other signs targeted conservative MPs, like Michael Cooper, who have been critical of the Hamas-supporting hate-fests in Canadian cities.
After shaming pro-Hamas protestors in Edmonton who celebrated the slaughter of Israeli civilians and called for a new intifada, I've been "condemned".

I consider it a badge of honor.
I stand with Israel as it exercises its obligation to defend itself & annihilate Hamas. pic.twitter.com/vv2fZagHqe
