A major controversy is taking place in Mississauga, Ontario, which is immediately west of Toronto. A group of Muslim activists is holding a vigil for Yahyah Sinwar on Nov 26 at City Hall. The mayor insisted that it was not a real event but the evidence seems to say otherwise.

They say the antidote to distasteful speech is more speech. Maybe ordinary people need to hold a celebration of Netanyahu or the IDF to counter the pro-Hamas crowd. Imagine if the turnout from the pro-Israel crowd dwarfed the turnout of the pro-Hamas crowd! The problem is that I don't know if it would: we have far more Muslims than Jews in this country now and I'm not sure what number of non-Jews would appear for such an event. If it wasn't a really big turnout, it would probably do more harm than good and make the pro-Hamas crowd seem much more popular than it is.
