The intersection of Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue in Toronto has been the sight of ongoing demonstrations for and against Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against the Jewish state.
It’s a largely residential area, with apartments dominating the sightlines from the sidewalk.
“There’s no corporate offices; there’s no embassies or consulates; there’s no factories making military weapons,” noted Rebel News boss Ezra Levant, who travelled to the intersection to report on the regular pro- and anti-Israel demonstrations that take place.
The area has the highest number of Jewish residents in Canada, he noted.
“It’s a Jewish neighbourhood, and that’s not to say the people who are not Jewish or who even are antisemitic shouldn’t be allowed to come here,” Ezra said.
“But for every single Sunday for two years, the antisemites have walked up and down — not just this fairly major street, but down into residential streets where there’s just single-family homes and have been shouting at Jewish families they encounter.”
