Canada: ‘Campus flood’ in Montreal to celebrate Hamas’ October 7 ‘Al-Aqsa flood’ massacre

The pro-Hamas protesters on October 7 call their campus event a show of protest against “a year of genocide” in Gaza. But they plan to hold this event on October 7, and they call it by a name that is similar to the name Hamas gave to its October 7, 2023 massacre.

The violence of the so-called Palestinian “resistance” is being brazenly flaunted in a country that harshly cracks down on “hate” and incitement. Celebrating the October 7 mass murder and the subsequent savaging of Jews on campus, and calling the event “Campus flood” to recall Hamas’ barbaric “Al-Aqsa flood” is jarring. Where are Canada’s vaunted human rights lobbies and commissions?

“Jewish students say anti-Israel Oct. 7 events at Montreal campuses set to celebrate Hamas,” by Eliyahu Freedman, Times of Israel, October 6, 2024:

Independent student groups formerly affiliated with Montreal’s McGill and Concordia universities have sparked outrage with a planned coordinated campus “flood” to mark the first anniversary of the October 7 terror onslaught in southern Israel, which Hamas dubbed the “Al-Aqsa Flood.”

The event, promoted as a commemoration of “the historic breach of the colonial border wall and a year of Palestinian resistance,” encourages students to walk out of class and “flood” the campus in protest of what organizers call “a year of genocide.” Promotional materials feature an image of Gazans celebrating atop a stolen Israeli military vehicle on October 7 — a visual that many interpret as glorifying acts of terror.

For many Jewish students, this protest represents more than just a symbolic walkout; it is the culmination of a year of hostility and fear.

“It’s another way of dehumanizing us and celebrating our death,” said Ora Bar, a recent Concordia graduate who has been active in pro-Israel advocacy. “If they let it happen, glorifying the killers, this shows the direction where Canada is going.”
