Pro-Palestinian organizations in Europe and the United States are planning over 70 events to mark the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, framing it as "3 Years of Resistance and Genocide." While Israel and Jewish communities worldwide will observe the date as a national day of remembrance, organizers of these protests are using the occasion to advance their agenda.
In the US, the "Anti-War Action Network" has declared October 7th a "National Day of Action," urging supporters to protest against Israel. Key messages promoted by this group include calls to end US military and economic aid to Israel, lift the blockade on Gaza, and justify resistance under occupation. Demonstrations are expected in cities like Seattle, Chicago, Cleveland, San Jose, and in the states of Michigan and Minnesota. Student groups such as SJP are also mobilizing for large marches on campuses.
A central focus for protests is expected in New York City, where flyers for an event outside Manhattan's City Hall have been distributed with the slogan "Glory to the Martyrs" alongside Hamas symbols. The Combat Anti-Semitism Movement (CAM) has condemned these campus activities, stating that student groups are attempting to "appropriate October 7th," omitting the details of Hamas's atrocities, the victims, and the hostages, while glorifying concepts like "martyrs" and "resistance."
Authorities in Europe are taking measures to manage the planned demonstrations. Paris police have canceled a planned march, citing concerns about public order and a rise in antisemitic incidents. Berlin police are considering a similar ban, and security services in Hamburg have warned against participation in a protest organized by a group suspected of extremism. In London, over 600 police officers will be deployed to prevent clashes, with strict restrictions imposed on participants, including a ban on face coverings and a dispersal deadline.
Meanwhile, in Oslo, Norway, a planned protest titled "Support for Resistance" has sparked public controversy and political condemnation. The Israeli National Security Council has issued a warning to Israelis abroad, advising them to avoid areas of potential friction due to fears of attacks.
