A masked speaker at a Vancouver anti-Israel rally shouted “Death to Canada” into a microphone, expressed support for terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas and burned a Canadian flag, according to videos circulating on the internet.

Politicians expressed outrage after a series of clips recorded outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, purportedly part of a rally organized by Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, were posted to X early Tuesday morning.
