TCF spoke to a person angry that the Palestine liberation protesters took an intersection that's beside a Jewish community center.

They claimed there was a "message" sent by the protesters to the Jewish community & a "threat" they posed. We asked, what "message" & "threat"?

TCF EIC @Aidan_Jonah asked a counter-protester who had been holding an Israel flag & was just been interviewed by CTV, if he supported the bombardment of Gaza. They said yes.

When asked to explain why, they asked which outlet was asking, and wouldn't speak further.

@Aidan_Jonah At the end of the protest, a person waving the Israel flag was challenged by Palestine liberation protesters.

@Aidan_Jonah TCF EIC @Aidan_Jonah spoke with @sasa_ghada about the Palestine liberation protest in front of Freeland's office, the hostile Ryan Jespersen interview, and attacks on her and @CJPME after that interview.

At a Jewish organization-led press conference, York University associate professor Lesley Wood speaks about her arrest and anger about the Indigo protest being looked at under hate-motivated acts rather than opposition to support for Israeli apartheid.

Covering: @Aidan_Jonah

Natalie Rothman, a Professor of History at the University of Toronto, and member of the Jewish Faculty Network, speaks about its anger at the arrest of alleged protest participants at Indigo and the Toronto police's attack on peaceful protest.

Audrey Macklin, a University of Toronto law professor, explains how charges levied on Indigo protesters are more dangerous because they're being falsely regarded as hate-motivated. The motivation allows for harsher punishment. Politically motivated protest is more protected.
