Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday condemned recent violence as unacceptable after shots were fired at two Jewish schools in Montreal overnight and clashes between students at a university in the same city late on Wednesday.
In Toronto, police have reported hate crimes against Jews and Muslims had more than doubled the tally for all of 2022 in the three weeks after the initial Hamas attack on Oct. 7.
Good for Trudeau.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
OTTAWA, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday condemned recent violence as unacceptable after shots were fired at two Jewish schools in Montreal overnight and clashes between students at a university in the same city late on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, a violent altercation at Concordia University between people aligned with opposing sides of the conflict in Israel and Gaza resulted in injuries and an arrest, according to CBC News.
“I understand that people are so profoundly disturbed by what they see happening there,” Trudeau told reporters in the Montreal area on Thursday.
However, “violence, hate, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and scenes such as the ones we saw in Concordia University or shots fired at Jewish schools overnight - all of that is unacceptable,” he said.
In Toronto, police have reported hate crimes against Jews and Muslims had more than doubled the tally for all of 2022 in the three weeks after the initial Hamas attack on Oct. 7.
The ensuing Israeli bombardment of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip has killed more than 10,000 people, Palestinian health authorities say.
The original article contains 269 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 33%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
So quick to condemn a few shots fired at a school … yet have a hard time saying anything significant about 10,000 people being killed and continue to be killed on a daily basis.
I’m not a supporter of Israel or Palestine, they all have a role to play in this conflict … but in a supposed modern world where we are supposed to be more enlightened and informed … we are acting no differently than our ancient ancestors a thousand years ago who believed that if we kill enough people, problems can be solved.
I mean one of these is within Canada. I think a PM speaking against violence within Canadian borders isn’t the same as him commenting on him violence internationally.
The violence that happened in Montreal is a direct consequence of what is happening in Palestine right now … the fact that Canada and US are not actively working towards putting a stop to the fighting will mean that more violence will spill over in many other parts of the world, including Canada.
The world should be putting enormous pressure on everyone involved in this conflict to put a stop to the fighting and force everyone to sit down and negotiate … instead the world’s most powerful countries are more willing to pour billions into a war machine rather than spend millions on peaceful resolutions.
As much as I agree, Hamas isn’t interested in negotiation, they want to convert the entire world to Islam.
Regardless of that, Israel should stop bombing hospitals, ambulances, and refugee camps, even if they think they contain members of Hamas, because it makes them terrorists as well.
What’s that word again… when you’re calling for the shooting to cease?
I know Trudeau has a hard time remembering it too.Peace keeping country indeed.
