"The All Out For Palestine rallies that appeared in every major Canadian city over weekendwere without precedent. Never in Canadian history has the country seen coordinated, multi-city demonstrations convened for the singular purpose of celebrating an act of terror against civilians.
But the only thing materially new about the rallies is their scale and the unambiguous horror of the atrocities being celebrated. For years, Canada has featured no shortage of rallies cheering terror or groups openly calling for the violent destruction of Israel. In some cases, the figures at the center of it all have even been feted on Parliament Hill....Monday ended with a call for supporters to “be the nightmare” in Canada. “We’re going to be the nightmare here. We’re going to be the nightmare in Gaza,” he said.
“We are your men, Mohammad Deif!” went a celebratory chant repeated by a crowd of several dozen outside Calgary City Hall.....Deif is the Hamas commander credited as the mastermind of the Oct. 7 terror attacks against Israel.....In April, he led a crowd in front of Montreal’s Israel consulate and led a chant of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The slogan, which refers to the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, is an explicit rejection of any “two state solution” and references the complete purge of the State of Israel from the Levant."
