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.

    WTF does NATO have anything to do with Israel or Palestine?!

    WTF would leaving NATO have any effect on Israel or Palestine?!

    WTF are these people even on about?

    NATO’s “complicity with Israel’s military while it’s conducting its genocide in Gaza

    NATO isn’t helping Israel… (while some NATO members might be, that’s not NATO)

    It’s not NATO’s job to get involved with with Israel or Palestine…
