(CTV) Ontario Premier Doug Ford is speaking out against a series of events being held that celebrate attacks against Israel that have left more than 700 people dead and thousands more injured.
In a post on social media Sunday, the premier called these events “hate rallies” that celebrate “the kidnapping and slaughtering of innocent Israeli people by terrorists.”
“They have no place in Ontario,” he said, adding that these rallies are “reprehensible and disgusting.”
“Now more than ever we stand with Israel and affirm its fight to defend itself and its people.”
Early Saturday morning Hamas militants fired rockets and infiltrated towns along the Gaza Strip, leaving hundreds dead and even more wounded. Soldiers and civilians have been captured and taken to Gaza as hostages, including children and the elderly.
