During his press review on Monday, Paul Arcand reacted to several current issues, including the sad anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians, which left 1,200 dead.
Since October 7, 2023, the Jewish state has bombed the Gaza Strip, killing nearly 42,000 people, most of them Palestinian women and children.
Commemorations in memory of the victims of this conflict will take place all over the world, including in Montreal.
After a year, what can we say? […] What we notice is the impasse. The inability to find common ground, a basis for a ceasefire. Second, a lot of tension. What is happening at McGill, while downtown Montreal will be targeted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators, who intend to wander. McGill has taken unusual security measures. If you are Jewish, you feel ostracized, targeted by what is happening. If you are Palestinian, you watch your people suffer. And everywhere, the rise of intolerance.
