Mourning on One Side, Celebrating Terror on the Other
Duelling demonstrations were being held at McGill to honour the victims — and celebrate the perpetrators — of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack against Israel.
On the third anniversary of Hamas's October 7 massacre, Montreal's McGill University became the scene of opposing demonstrations.
Students for Palestine's Honour and Resistance (SPHR) organized a rally featuring imagery from the Oct. 7 terror attack, celebrating the massacre.
Jewish students gathered to mourn the victims of the attack, while members of the Québécois and Iranian communities united to protest terrorism and show their support for the students.
Rebel News was on the ground speaking with demonstrators to hear their perspectives on rising campus tensions, whether Quebec is doing enough to address extremism, and what these demonstrations mean for Montreal and Canada.
