The day after the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacres in southern Israel, hundreds of anti-Israel demonstrations were held around the globe. Israel had not even buried its dead, Hamas terrorists were still loose in Israel, and the counterattack had not begun. Yet many of the protests displayed placards with identical slogans, calling to end the “genocide” of Palestinians and for a ceasefire.
Dozens of October 8 demonstrations were held in Canada, including in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Mississauga, Windsor, St. John’s, Halifax, Winnipeg, and even Whitehorse in Yukon.
Far better organized than anything I had seen in the past.
