Palestinian Flag Raised at Toronto City Hall After Court Decision

An injunction by the Tafsik Organization to prevent the raising of the Palestinian flag at Toronto City Hall was dismissed, allowing the ceremony to proceed on November 17, 2025, despite significant opposition. The flag was raised to chants of “Free, free Palestine,” following a petition with over 25,000 signatures against the event. Critics, including B’nai Brith and City Councillor James Pasternak, argued it was inappropriate amid rising antisemitism. The flag-raising marked a historic moment, recognizing Palestinian Independence Day.
