Claims analyzed (3)

   Official estimates from the Toronto Police Service and the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto placed the attendance at approximately 60,000 people, not 100,000. While this was a record-breaking turnout for the event, the post inflates the number by 40,000.
2. verified: The gathering was held in support of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
   The event was the 57th annual 'Walk With Israel,' organized by the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto to show solidarity with Israel and the Jewish community.
3. verified: The event took place in Toronto, Canada.
   The walk took place along Bathurst Street in Toronto, starting at Temple Sinai and ending at the Sherman Campus in North York.
