Three years after Hamas’s October 7 massacre, thousands of protesters are expected to turn out to denounce Israel’s response to the attack. The Combat Antisemitism Movement has tracked 45 anti-Israel events planned in America this week. There are hundreds of similar events planned worldwide, according to Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism.Students for Justice in Palestine posted a flyer calling for a “week of action” between October 5 and October 9. “The struggle continues. For liberation. For our martyrs,” the flyer reads. In New York, the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Binghamton University is planning a five-day “for Gazan children” event that will include an October 7 vigil for “all the victims of the genocide.”The New York City Democratic Socialists of America is planning a “citywide protest” outside city hall on October 7. A group called the Columbia Intifada posted a flyer on Instagram urging students at Columbia University to march to city hall on Wednesday “in support of the Palestinian people and their struggle for liberation.”Howard University’s SJP chapter is hosting a “Vigil for the Martyrs” on October 7.At Kent State University in Ohio there will be an October 7 march for “total liberation.”Meanwhile, at Rowan University in New Jersey there will be a vigil to mark “1,097 days of Genocide.”Organizers at Oklahoma State University are planning a “week of rage.”Israel’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism reports there are more than 260 such events across 37 countries planned this week.The ministry says in a report released Sunday that there are 40 protest events scheduled in Spain, 21 in Australia, 19 in the United Kingdom, 16 in Italy, 14 in Germany, 14 in Canada, and 10 in France. “The elevated number of events scheduled for the weekend following October 7 reflects a deliberate strategy by organizers to concentrate demonstrations on weekends, thereby maximizing turnout and media visibility,” the report stated.In Canada, students at the University of Toronto are planning to hold a vigil titled “Honoring Our Martyrs” on October 7. On Wednesday evening, an anti-Israel organization, Jews Against the Occupation ‘48, will hold a vigil at Sydney’s town hall to denounce the war against Hamas. And at London, a group of hundreds of students is expected to march through the city. London’s Metropolitan Police has urged the organizers to schedule the march for a different day due to “serious concerns” it would have on Jewish students and faculty members. Israel’s government says that 45 events are scheduled to take place near Israeli embassies or consulates or property associated with the Jewish state.Law enforcement officials have previously warned such events could be targets for extremists to carry out attacks. The events this year a week after the co-pilot of a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv stabbed the captain. An investigation into the incident has found that the co-pilot was planning on crashing the plane into Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport, NPR reported. Investigators reportedly believe the co-pilot acted alone. Israeli officials have said they believe the incident was an attempted terrorist attack.
