## Canadians wake up to rising anti-Jewish hate
As the third anniversary of October 7 nears, Canadians need to wake up to the escalating hate and violence towards Jewish communities that has been allowed to fester in this country.
## Governments spread lies about Israel
Governments, universities and media have believed the lies that Israel is committing genocide and that anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism and have allowed these lies to fester and spread on campuses, between politicians and in news reports.
## Celebrations of Hamas attacks begin
The blood from the terror attacks waged by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups and civilians on Nova music festival goers, families on several kibbutz and civilians in the city of Sderot and town of Ofakim had barely dried when small rallies celebrating the attacks rang out in cities across Canada.
## Montreal anti-Israel protests
The day after the attacks, anti-Israel protesters in Montreal marched in solidarity, carrying signs saying 'Resistance until liberation' from Dorchester Square in downtown Montreal ending at the Israeli Consulate.
## SPHR plans celebration
McGill’s Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) immediately took to social media to plan a celebration for the following day, writing: 'We call on our people in Montreal and in the far diaspora to celebrate the resistance’s success, to uplift their calls, and to march this Sunday,' which was the day after the attacks.

## Ottawa chants for Hamas
Three days after the attacks, in Ottawa, our nation’s capital, Palestinian activist Mahmoud Kahlil led a celebratory chant of, 'We are your men, Mohammad Deif!' outside the Human Rights Monument, of all places.
