“No police to stop them”.
WTF?
Why not???

— Michael Orr (@YehiOrr)

How is this tolerated? We need Mayor Chow is a terrorist sympathizer. How about you?

— Jack Bowers (@robpgole)

This type of behaviour needs to stop. Protests & acts of violence need immediate action. Stronger laws & prosecution & if necessary deportation.
Ontario and Canada we do not stand for this. Our country is becoming a disgrace. Federal and local government need to take action

Do you have any interest in public order? Or are you just closeted Jew haters?

It’s not clear but history will not be kind in either scenario

THIS proves the government IS complicit. Jews should move out.
We have room in the US. Yes, we have some dumbasses, but that’s going to be fixed soon.

This act of vandalism follows a series of escalating incidents tied to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea was targeted with flash bombs on Saturday (Nov 16), although no injuries were reported as he and his family were not home at the time. This attack came after a Hezbollah-claimed drone assault on October 19, which Netanyahu described as an assassination attempt.
