Toronto4Palestine is one of the main players in the extremist coalition of anti-Israel organizations.

Their organizers have proudly proclaimed that “resistance is an honour,” using a term unambiguously referring to terrorism, and a review of their messaging, posted to social media, shows an extremist and terrorist-supporting organization.

A May 14, 2024 video posted to their TikTok account showed anti-Israel activists chanting “long live the intifada,” referring to a violent campaign of Palestinian terrorism against Israelis.

Those chants, far from being an isolated instance, are a regular occurrence at Toronto4Palestine’s protests. A video posted on December 10, 2023, showed demonstrators chanting “there is only one solution: intifada revolution,” a clear and unambiguous glorification of terrorism.

It should come as little surprise that Toronto4Palestine sees all of Israel, not just the so-called “occupied” territories, as lands needing to be cleansed of Jews, as demonstrated in a December 4, 2023 video, where a keffiyeh-clad leader of the group bellowed to followers that “We organize for the full cessation of foreign aid to a violent settler apparatus. We call for a unified and liberated Palestine from the river to the sea, free of the terrorist Zionist regime.”

The group’s antics do not end with simple chants. A video posted on the same platform on January 2, 2024 showed their protesters trampling an Israeli flag with his foot, and vandalizing an office building with spray paint, while in the background a song by the Hamas-affiliated Al-Waad band plays.

Toronto4Palestine’s account on X (formerly Twitter) is equally deranged, blaming Jewish organizations for antisemitism, rather than the Jew-haters themselves in a post on July 11, 2024.

There is no anti-Israel claim outlandish or hateful enough that does not get repeated by Toronto4Palestine. The group’s X account claimed that Israeli soldiers rape Palestinian detainees, that hundreds of thousands of Gazans have died in war (both entirely false allegations), and that Zionism – the Jewish People’s national movement of self-determination in their historic homeland – is “grounded in structural anti-Palestinianism.”

While it may be tempting to write off Toronto4Palestine’s ridiculous lies as harmless, they have consequences. As French writer Voltaire wrote, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities,” and it is natural that the same hate group that peddles anti-Israel propaganda also implicitly justifies Hamas’ genocidal massacres.

In a June 23, 2024 post, the group wrote that “any resistance is always a direct consequence of being put in a place from where one has to resist in the first place.” The “resistance” that Toronto4Palestine refers to is Hamas’ bloodthirsty campaign of rape, torture, murder and kidnapping which it committed on October 7, 2023, largely against civilians.

On December 28, 2023, Toronto4Palestine posted what can only be called the glorification of violent murderous terrorism when they wrote on their Instagram page that “Resistance comes in many forms and we must utilize them all to achieve total liberation from the river to the sea.”

Two months earlier, the group posted a call on social media calling for the “release of ALL 9500 Palestinian prisoners” in Israeli jails, without specifying that number includes Palestinian terrorists who personally participated in Hamas’ genocidal massacres on October 7. In calling for their release, Toronto4Palestine is leaving no doubt as to their attempt to justify and excuse the biggest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.

On April 7, the group posted a glowing tribute to Walid Daqqa, saying his “legacy will live on in the hearts of all who share his vision of a free Palestine.” Daqqa was a Palestinian arch-terrorist who was sentenced to life behind bars for being part of a cell that abducted and killed Israeli soldier Moshe Tamam in 1984.

Toronto4Palestine is far from an isolated case of anti-Israel activists demonstrating their extremism, and is in good company with other such groups. These groups, despite their loud voices, represent a fringe proportion of Canadians, which likely explains why they engage in such hateful rhetoric and behaviour in the first place.
