Rallies raise question of whether Canada should have a law against public cheering of terrorism
Demonstrators in support of Palestinians wave Palestinian flags during a protest in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on October 9, 2023. Israel imposed a total siege on the Gaza Strip Monday and cut off the water supply as it kept bombing targets in the crowded Palestinian enclave in response to the Hamas surprise assault it has likened to the 9/11 attacks. Reeling from the Islamist group's unprecedented ground, air and sea attacks, Israel has counted more than 700 dead and launched a withering barrage of strikes on Gaza that have raised the death toll there to 560 people.
