Independent student groups formerly affiliated with Montreal’s McGill and Concordia universities have sparked outrage with a planned coordinated campus “flood” to mark the first anniversary of the October 7 terror onslaught in southern Israel, which Hamas dubbed the “Al-Aqsa Flood.”
The event, promoted as a commemoration of “the historic breach of the colonial border wall and a year of Palestinian resistance,” encourages students to walk out of class and “flood” the campus in protest of what organizers call “a year of genocide.” Promotional materials feature an image of Gazans celebrating atop a stolen Israeli military vehicle on October 7 — a visual that many interpret as glorifying acts of terror.
No surprise there.
