Szlak condemned those who would do such a thing.
“When you remove a poster of a 9-month-old child, you are cancelling his life, and saying it’s not worth anything,” he said Thursday.
Posting on social media, Hampstead Mayor Jeremy Levi said the council will adopt a bylaw that will impose a $1,000 fine to anyone who removes a poster of Israeli hostages from public property. Levi added that the money collected through the fines will be donated to Israel.
