When: December 27th, 12:30pm, Israeli Consulate – 180 Bloor Street West, Toronto.
Why: Ummm because it’s Israel?
Palestine House in Toronto is preparing to take part in a demonstration planned for December 27 outside the offices of the Israeli Consulate in Toronto, to mark the first anniversary of operation Cast Lead. Buses have been rented in order to transport the protesters from Palestine House to the protest area at 180 Bloor Street West.
The planned protest in Toronto is part of a larger, international protest by the International Coalition to End the Illegal Siege of Gaza, entitled the Gaza Freedom March, which will take place in Gaza between December 27 and 31. The purpose of the protest, according to its organizers, is to end the siege on Gaza and encourage the US government to act in order to accomplish this mission.

The Jewish Defence League (JDL) is planning a counter-demonstration planned for the same day and time as the Gaza Freedom March. Shalom Life spoke to Meir Weinstein, director of JDL who called everyone to come and participate in the demonstration. “We’re going to wave Israeli and Canadian flags. We’ll be joined by people from our community and we’re encouraging as many as possible to come out. We also have some Christians, Hindus and even Tamils that are coming out to join us,” he said. “We’ve been extremely active for the past year encountering all those protests and boycott attempts against Israel. We believe this is one significant way for Jews to assist Israel. You can wave the Israeli flag or wear the Israeli flag, but do whatever you can to support Israel. You have to be there.”
