Israeli hostage billboards span Canada’s busiest highway

A billboard of a 9-month-old baby paired with the word – Hostage – sits above the busiest highway in Canada as part of a global campaign to show the more than 200 faces of Hamas-held hostages.
“We wanted to show Canadians the human faces of the victims. Men, women and babies murdered, kidnapped, raped, abused by these Hamas terrorists," Jeff Ballingall, a member of Yalla!, a grassroots community group in Toronto, said.
The organization placed five billboards on Highway 401 and Highway 427 last week, and has since plastered thousands of posters on street poles and utility boxes across Canada.
These signs, which have been printed in 30 different languages and displayed across New Zealand, Spain, Greece, France and dozens more countries, were created by Israeli artists in New York.
