TORONTO—Crowds waving Israeli flags showed their support for the Jewish state in Toronto on May 25, in an event organizers say featured some 56,000 people joining the United Jewish Appeal’s Walk With Israel.
The event, held annually since 1970, came a few days after two Israeli Embassy staffers were killed in Washington on May 21 by a man shouting “free, free Palestine.” Some of the participants interviewed by The Epoch Times noted the importance of showing support for the Jewish community in the wake of the tragedy.
