Trudeau: Protest outside Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital a "Reprehensible" Show of Antisemitism

(Canadian Press-Toronto Star-Ha'aretz) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "strongly" condemned Monday's raucous pro-Palestinian protest that blocked traffic outside Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto as a "reprehensible" display of antisemitism. He said hospitals are "places for treatment and care, not protests and intimidation....In Toronto and across Canada, we stand with Jewish communities against this hate." Ontario Premier Doug Ford pointing to a federal law that prohibits people from intentionally blocking access to health-care facilities. "You want to protest? Go to city hall, come down to Queen's Park, jump up and down, do whatever you want," Ford said Tuesday.
