HANDS OFF AL-AQSA! 🗣️
Join us as we fulfill our obligation to stand for one of the holiest sites in Islam, Al-Aqsa.
The zionist entity does not only want to destroy the beautiful and historical masjid, but replace it all together for their ‘Third Temple’.
In a clear and yet again, countless act of violation of international law, we don’t expect the world leaders to take a stand or change what is happening – change comes from the people!
THE PEOPLE UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED.
Also, this action will be in commemoration of Land Day, a day that honours our peoples connection to their land and their steadfastness in struggle against occupation, displacement and colonialism.
SEE YOU SOON! 🫡 🇵🇸

Protesters waved the flags of Iran and Palestine while displaying photos of Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on February 28, 2026.
They marched through downtown Toronto, holding a large banner that read, “Globalize the Intifada.”
At the gathering point in front of Nathan Phillips Square, a protester burned the American flag. Later, participants vandalized an effigy by decapitating it and stomped on both the American and Israeli flags.
Throughout the rally, the participants chanted:
[Arabic]
We’ll sacrifice our soul and blood for the sake of Al-Aqsa [Mosque]
We’ll sacrifice our soul and blood for the sake of Palestine
Palestine is Arab from the water to the water [from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea]
[English]
No peace on stolen land
There is only one solution, Intifada, revolution
Intifada, Intifada, long live the Intifada
Viva viva Palestina, Viva viva Intifada
Intifada, Intifada, long live the Intifada
Resistance is justified when people are occupied
