Toronto Police Deliver Coffee to Anti-Israel Protesters, Sparking Outrage

Police's actions contrasted with their treatment of other protests, drawing international criticism.

Toronto police have been filmed delivering coffee to anti-Israel protesters who were blocking a road in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Toronto, causing international outrage.
The protesters were opposing Israel's actions against the Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza and their protest included calls for the death of Israel.
The police's actions have been contrasted with their treatment of other protests, such as the Freedom Convoy of truckers protesting Covid mandates, where no such assistance was provided.
The incident has drawn criticism from various quarters, including B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn, who described the police's actions as 'absurd' and 'comically naive.'
The Toronto police have defended their actions, stating that they were 'managing a dynamic situation' and their actions 'should not be interpreted as showing support for any cause or group.'
