In Montreal, a new pro-Palestinian encampment at Victoria Square has become the focal point of tensions between pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters.
The encampment, established in connection with the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, has drawn criticism from counter-protesters who accuse the city of showing tolerance towards the pro-Palestinian protests while swiftly dismantling encampments of the homeless. The situation escalated when protesters attempted to topple a statue of Queen Victoria near the encampment, prompting police intervention.
The presence of the encampment and the subsequent demonstrations highlight the deep divisions and strong emotions tied to the conflict in Gaza, as they play out thousands of miles away in Canada.
