Published Sunday, May 23, 2021 1:16PM EDT A Rabbi has been charged by police after helping organize a protest that left the steps of the Israeli consulate in Toronto painted red. Some members of the Jewish community, as well as other activists, condemned Israel’s violence in Gaza Friday morning by painting the steps of the consulate—something they say was meant to symbolize a river of blood. The action was taken on the same day that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was announced, ending an 11-day war that left more than 250 people dead. The vast majority of the people killed were Palestinians.
