Here’s an interesting coincidence, coinciding on the same date. Politicians and community leaders are warning that anti-Israel rallies planned for Al-Quds Day this Sunday could be filled with antisemitic chants and the glorification of terrorism, and they are asking law enforcement to do more to protect the Jewish community.
“There’s been a long history of concern about Al-Quds Day, which is an annual hateful protest, an event that calls for the elimination and eradication of the State of Israel,” Toronto city councillor Brad Bradford told National Post.
I didn’t know Canada had an “Al-Quds Day” as thats not on my calendar.
“That often ends up bringing out folks who are glorifying terrorists and waving Hamas flags and calling for the death of Jews, and I think in a country like Canada, that is morally objectionable. It’s abhorrent, and it’s not the type of thing that we want to see on the streets of Toronto.”

Although nominally calling for the 'liberation' of Jerusalem, Al-Quds Day protests across the globe often bring chants of 'Death to Israel' and the burning of flags and effigies
