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.
