The annual Walk With Israel march in Toronto on June 7, 2026. Courtesy of UJAThe waving flags at this year’s Walk with Israel event on June 7 showed that Toronto Jews did not stand alone in supporting the state of Israel. Besides Israeli flags, other countries’ flags were seen everywhere throughout what organizers said was a 60,000-strong march—the largest turnout in the event’s 57-year history—from the Canadian Maple Leaf to the American Stars and Stripes and the Italian Tricolour, and even the pre-revolutionary Iranian Lion and Sun.“The walk was energetic, enthusiastic. It was a very well put together. It was a great event to bring Jews and allies,” said Matthew Taub, director of pro-Israel advocacy group Unapologetically Jewish.
