Disgusting Hamas Tribute in Canada

Are these people this stupid & delusional, or do they do these despicable things just to provoke the Jews? Imagine mourning the death of a terrorist, a killer of murdered Israelis, rather than mourning those Israelis instead!  It's as if we had had a vigil for Osama Bin Laden after September 11 instead of mourning the 3,000 victims each year.

But consider the source. Canada's been in the news lately because Trudeau has been keeping secret the names of 900 Nazis who came to Canada after WW2, and "outraged Jewish groups call his decision ‘disgraceful,’ a dishonor to Holocaust victims and survivors."

And in England, November is actually "Islamophobia Awareness Month". Is there a "Holocaust Awareness Month" or "Neverending-Antisemitism Month" anywhere, or a month dedicated to October 7 victims?  I didn't think so.

'Hamas is applauding': Mississauga mayor urged to stop vigil for terror leader Yahya Sinwar

A flyer for the event, which was shared on social media, used the slogan, 'Lest we forget our heroes,' and red poppies on top of a black and white photo of the architect of October 7

"A controversial vigil commemorating the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar appears to be going ahead as scheduled, despite a statement from an Ontario mayor that suggested a flyer featuring poppies over a black and white image of the terror leader was not associated with a real event.

"Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish drew ire from Jewish community leaders after she said Saturday that the city, located west of Toronto, would not try to stop the Nov. 26 vigil at Celebration Square in Mississauga. “The City will not interfere with a peaceful vigil, as long as all laws and City by-laws are adhered to,” she wrote at the time, adding that permits are not required for events that use public city property.

"The flyer, which was shared on social media, used the slogan, “Lest we forget our heroes,” and red poppies — a national symbol of remembrance for Canadian military veterans.

"Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces in October and is widely viewed as the architect behind the October 7 massacres in Israel.

"On Monday evening, following the backlash to her initial statement, Parrish said in an X post that she had concluded that the event is not real, however, the organizer of the event, Canadian Defenders 4 Human Rights (CD4HR), has maintained in social media posts that the vigil will continue as scheduled.

“Consulted a network of Muslim organizations, serious partners in many activities of our city,” Parrish wrote in a public statement. “I asked them to track down the anonymous notice for a vigil at City Hall. No organization exists. No vigil is planned.” She posted a letter from the Muslim Council of Peel, which said that the event “is not associated with any legitimate organization in Mississauga.”

"The letter attached to Parrish’s statement from the Muslim Council of Peel, a local group, denounced “this attack on the mayor,” arguing it “serves only to distract from the genocide and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where thousands of civilians, including women and children, have lost their lives.” The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) took issue with the mayor circulating a letter that calls Israel’s war on Hamas a “genocide.”
