## October 7 Anniversary
October 7 marks the third anniversary of the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
## Toronto Rallies Cancelled
Toronto student groups planned an October 7 event at the University of Toronto under the banner 'Honouring Our Martyrs' but cancelled due to safety concerns.
## Montreal Rallies Planned
Montreal student groups plan at least two anti-Israel rallies on October 7, including a student rally at McGill’s Roddick Gates and an evening rally on Sherbrooke Street West.
## Moral Disturbance
Holding rallies on the anniversary of a massacre is profoundly disturbing as families mourn loved ones brutally slaughtered, raped, burned alive and taken hostage.
## Language Glorifies Violence
Rallies use phrases like 'Honouring Our Martyrs' and 'Respect Existence or Expect Resistance' that glorify the barbaric violence families mourn.
## Legal Status Clarified
Anti-Israel protests are legal under Canadian law but may cross into criminal incitement if they incite hatred likely to breach the peace.
## Moral Responsibility
Condemnation of such rallies is morally necessary without requiring legal prohibition or societal acceptance.
## Key takeaway

Anti-Israel rallies on October 7, 2025, are legal under Canadian law but morally reprehensible as they glorify violence memorialized by Jewish families.
