Roads are closing down in the area of the @RadyJCC as supporters of #israel for a car rally, organized by @canadasheli founder of the Israeli Canadian Council. The offices of @jewishwinnipeg, whose statement yesterday incensed Israeli Winnipeggers, is on the campus. 1/x Cars are lined up down Doncaster with Israeli flags, music playing, no hate chants or anything of the sort. @wpgpolice coordinated closely with organizers to ensure a safe staging and route was planned. @RadyJCC lawyers tried to intimidate the ICC into moving the starting point.
