Hundreds of people present at #Ottawa ’s City Hall to celebrate 🇮🇱’s Independence Day.
Possibly the biggest Yom haHatzmaut ceremony at Ottawa City Hall ever.
Threats & intimidation failed — as they should.
Thank you Mark Sutcliffe.

Yom Ha’atzmaut is about the founding of the modern state of 🇮🇱, and the flag was raised in municipalities across 🇨🇦 to mark 76 years of Israel’s independence. We are deeply disappointed that Mayor Olivia Chow declined to attend today's flag raising, characterizing the event as
Tonight at sundown starts #YomHaAtzmaut , 🇮🇱 ’s Independence Day.
This year, it takes place in troubled times, bc of Hamas’ War.
In 🇨🇦, anti-Israel activists are threatening the festivities.
But we *will* celebrate! Bc 🇮🇱 is a great success story.
Yom HaHatzmaut Sameah!
Ce soir, au coucher du soleil, commence #YomhaAtzmaout , la Fête de l’indépendance d’Israël.
C’est cette année une fête troublée à cause de la guerre commencée par le Hamas.
Et les festivités ici sont sous menaces de militants anti-Israël.
Mais je fêterai tout de même!
