CUPE Local 3906 said people should show support to Hamas during the recent conflict in Israel because it is a reasonable cause. .“Palestine is rising, long live the resistance,” tweeted CUPE Local 3906 on Saturday. .CUPE Local 3906 was commenting on a group of Palestinians tearing down a border fence with a bulldozer. .“Allahu Akbar,” said a Palestinian. .Other Palestinians repeated the chant as the bulldozer drove into the fence and lifted it up. The fence tilted to the side, clearing the space from it. .The bulldozer backed up, and a few people ran through the opening. .Real Talk host Ryan Jespersen said he is confident not every CUPE member supports this take. .“Talk about swerving outside your lane,” said Jespersen. .“WOW.” .Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant said CUPE was being unreasonable. .“Imagine being a Canadian Jew, or anyone against murdering Jews, and having to pay union dues to a Hamas propaganda group,” said Levant. .Hamas militants fired thousands of rockets and sent scores of soldiers into Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip in an unprecedented attack during a major Jewish holiday on Saturday, killing hundreds and stunning the country. .READ MORE: Netanyahu declares war on Hamas after Israeli attack kills hundreds.The Israel government said it was now at war with Hamas and launched airstrikes in Gaza, vowing to set a new precedent. .Hamas soldiers are fighting gun battles inside several Israeli communities near Gaza several hours after the attack began.
