Anti-NATO protesters gathered again in Montreal on Saturday to demand Canada withdraw from the alliance, a day after a demonstration organized by different groups resulted in arrests, burned cars and shattered windows.
the purpose of the protest was to demonstrate against what he called NATO’s “complicity with Israel’s military while it’s conducting its genocide in Gaza, … war crimes in Lebanon, Syria” and that “it’s enforcing illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.”
However, Allard rejected accusations of antisemitism. He said the protests were against the actions of the state of Israel and not Jewish people, adding that earlier this week the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Its important for countries to work together. Could we do better? absolutely but things are worse off when we try to go it on our own, I don’t understand the point of all this isolationism.
Sure but maybe we could have an organization that doesn’t support Genocide and imperialism like NATO
How does NATO support genocide and imperialism?
Thats fair. So is the solution giving up and leaving or working day by day to try to make change and improve the situation? Its a little bit smarter to put pressure on our representatives. Protests should revolve around people who have the power to make these changes. Its slow and frustrating but works, they’ll cave if they’re on the unpopular side of an issue. These organizations are too important to just throw away.
