Co-organiser Alison Moule, an intern at a local institution, said that each minute of the protest represented one of the 64 days since Israel launched its war in Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’s 7 October terror attacks against Israeli communities. “As a federally funded museum dedicated to representing human rights both in Canada and globally, we feel the CMHR should show more support for Palestinians amid the ongoing human rights crisis in Gaza,” Moule said.
