Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the celebrations occurring in the wake of attacks on Israel by terrorists are “disgusting.”
“The hate rallies celebrating the kidnapping and slaughtering of innocent Israeli people by terrorists are reprehensible and disgusting. They have no place in Ontario. Now more than ever, we stand with Israel and affirm its right to defend itself and its people,” Mr. Ford wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Oct. 8, following videos on social media of Ontario locals cheering the attacks.
