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.
Looks like Russia is bout wasting time and once again uses their distinguishers network.
Remember trucker blockages of supply routes they did right before the full invasion?
Be careful bro there’s a russian behind you. Everybody talking bad about our militaristic alliance is a russian spy.
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…

There is a very good reason the Irish care about Neutrality. The Montrealites are not so different.

LOL you really thought nobody was going to check the dates on those articles? Hmm, I wonder if anything happened in Palestine since last October.
NATO has not changed its position, that’s the thing.
It has, it was forced to by Turkey: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-blocks-nato-israel-cooperation-over-gaza-war-sources-say-2024-08-01/
All joint exercises and meetings were stopped and nothing w.r.t. aid for Israel was approved. All vetoed.
Damn, TIL. Thank you.
And for the first time in my life, thank you Erdogan.
Holy shit, can’t believe I actually have common ground with Erdogan.
Too bad he can’t do what he preaches e.g. Kurds.
Broken clock and all that
In the last UK election, an old-school tankie named George Galloway ran a party. One of his candidates, a former professional cricketer IIRC, called for the UK to pull out of NATO to better control immigration. To his credit, he withdrew his candidacy and dropped out of politics a week later once it became apparent how far out of his depth he was.
Galloway’s more a wide-spectrum troll than a tankie. In his last campaign, he was putting out contradictory campaign materials in Muslim and non-Muslim neighbourhoods.
He was at one point a self-described Stalinist, which is probably as tankie as one can get. He also doesn’t seem to have ever encountered a dictator he didn’t hail as a liberator, though that’s consistent with the usual tankie/campist brainworms (“all evil comes from Washington, therefore anyone who opposes Washington is a hero of the revolution”).
