The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
The Walk With Israel stands as Toronto's powerful declaration that hate will not prevail. With 56,000 people marching in solidarity, this unprecedented gathering demonstrates unwavering resolve against rising antisemitism. More than celebration, it's defiant unity — Jews and allies refusing intimidation, proudly affirming shared values of freedom and tolerance that define Canadian society.
Anti-Israel narrative
At yesterday’s Walk With Israel, one truth rang loud: solidarity must not excuse silence. Canada cannot claim to champion human rights while shielding Israel’s illegal occupation. The ICJ has spoken. International law demands action. If Canada shirks its responsibility of ensuring an unbiased global order, it chooses complicity over justice and condemns its own credibility to the rubble alongside Gaza.
