This west-end neighbourhood has become a nucleus for much of west-end Toronto's anti-Israel activism, with Palestinian flags and anti-Israel signs, literature and graffiti commonplace. The office of Davenport MP Julie Dzerowicz, located just down the road at Bloor and Dufferin, is a frequent target of anti-Israel activists and vandals, usually armed with red paint. A public square just north of the nearby Bloor GO Train station was taken over by local activists and renamed 'Gaza Square.' The neighbourhood was also where a campaigner for failed NDP federal candidate Sandra Sousa told an area resident at their door that Israeli Jews should be 'deported to New York City.' That campaign worker was fired and the Sousa campaign offered an apology to the resident. Anybody with information should call police or Crime Stoppers. bpassifiume@ X: @bryanpassifiume Sports Ontario World Wrestling Canada
