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.
Seems they’re demonstrating against the genocide in Gaza. I don’t see anything wrong with that. There’s no reason for NATO to support it.
It’s not worth withdrawing as it has other benefits obviously. But doesn’t mean we shouldn’t protest for change.
NATO doesn’t.
Some of its members do. These are not the same things.
